BOX SCORE





Other:

Penalties: Dolphins 8, Vikings 5



-Notes-



Well, well. Finally, the Vikings win a game in Strat-O-Matic football, and it was a blowout by the end. The Vikings defense finally showed up in its true form as the Dolphins offense was completely anemic. Check this out:



Tannehill's completions by quarter:

Q1: 2

Q2: 7

Q3: 0

Q4: 1



Yes, that's right, even in garbage time, the Dolphins couldn't complete passes to save their lives. The Vikings defense had more interceptions than the Fins had completions in the 2nd half!! It didn't help that the Dolphins' top receiver, Kenny Stills, had a serious injury on the second drive of the game. The Vikings didn't even sack Tannehill once, they simply dropped back into coverage and won the game that way. The Dolphins did have 3 drops (two big ones on 3rd down by Amendola and Butler) that really hurt them. The running game was average, but near the end of the game, it stopped working with Gore gaining just 12 yards in the 2nd half. One noteworthy bit - I called a trick play to have WR Parker throw a pass to Brice Butler, and the play actually worked for a 1st down, but it was called back due to a holding penalty on the O-line.



On offense for the Vikings, I went for a ground-and-pound approach that worked well against a below-average Miami defense. Cook had a few solid runs (the longest went for 16 yards) and while he still got stuffed for no gain a few times, he did the job. I schemed some passes to him as well, and I was rewarded with 158 total yards from him. Cousins had some problems in the first half (two lost fumbles), but he was efficient and converted most of the 3rd downs I asked him to. Diggs had a lot more success than Thielen did, and I made sure not a single pass went to Treadwell. Zylstra, who didn't end up in the box score, was targeted twice but dropped a pass. Abdullah got some carries late in the 4th and broke a 20 yarder, which was cool to see.



That should do it for this edition of Strat-O-Matic Simulation... I'll be back in January if the Vikings make it to the playoffs. Welcome back to the 5th Strat-O-Matic simulation where the Vikings will try to get their first win against the Dolphins! I think we'll be able to get the win today, but let's see what happened in the simulation:BOX SCOREOther:Penalties: Dolphins 8, Vikings 5-Notes-Well, well.
