Maybe. But he gets his D playing better, every game so far. Maybe chewing out the Oline will work.

I was going to try listening to Kfan and turn the volume down on the TV, but I just don't like PA anymore. Its pretty sad.

Maybe we should put ponder in

Defense has been playing pretty well. Field position has sucked due to the fact the offense can't string together any drives. Lions defensive line is winning most of the battles. Bridgewater is not seeing what he expected from the Lions secondary and the pressure is getting to him.

Would be nice to see the Vikes open the 2nd with some quick-hitters - some screens, slants, and other short passes that neutralize the rush and maybe heat Bridgewater up a bit.

After the opening drive, they have been better then fine. I would love us to start with solidifying the D first. And just hope the O doesn't screw things up, like they have. This D has me excited.

Except for the first drive, the defense has been playing well. Offense, 2 key plays. The INT in the endzone, and the pass that Wright fell down on. I thought they were getting into a rhythm on that drive. Wright was wide open on that PA. ST has been poor.

Vikings need a good opening drive to get back in the game and take pressure off the defense.

Defense is playing lights out.....TB is playing like dog crap. Staring down receivers, holding on to the ball, and that pass to Asiata was surely catchable but not a good pass at all. TB looks tooooooo nonchalant.
He had better get his head out of his butt

Go to hidden talk in the board index and you can find a link for streaming the game.
Patterson is playing, but the oline is giving Teddy no protection. He has absolutely no time to work thru progresssions. As a matter of fact, he barely has time for the first read. Running game has not been helped by the oline either. McKinnon has been our whole offense as far as I can tell

####. If we can't do any better than this, we're screwed. I'm so upset right now. Teddy isn't playing great, but he has no damn help!

Well, it should be very clear by now that the team's offensive problems shouldn't simply be put on his shoulders as they were last week, especially the OL issues, which are quite real.

Ya cause WRs are getting open everywhere and the oline just looks like a wall.

Not playing great is the understatement of the year

2 mississippi pass rush gives you no timme to make any reads

Teddy has no time. No fault of his in this game so far
