Wow, steaming pile of shit all the way around. Have gotten off to terrible starts in both games so far and we just weren't able to recover tonight. A few thoughts;
- Everything about the offense looks off from the plays getting in on time, to the line play, to growing pains with McCarthy. Hockenson has been a complete non factor. We've been in rythem one quarter out of eight and KOC not playing the starters more in the preseason looks like a mistake at this point. KOC is going to have his hands full getting this offense on track and it's likely going to be one of those things they are just going to have to work their way out of. The turd the Bears defense laid against Detroit today makes me a little less impressed with the comeback win last week.
- I thought the defense played well mostly but we gave up a lot of gash runs that kept Atlanta drives alive. We don't have a lot of girth in the front seven and that was a concern to me going in to the season. I thought there were a few times when they ran right at Dallas Turner and he couldn't make the play. Our linebackers are all undersized and it's a girth for speed tradeoff that's not always going to work in our favor like we saw tonight.
- The good news; we have a Burrow-less Bengals team coming to Minnesota next week and we are close to getting back Harrison Smith, Darrisaw, and Addison. We need to see major improvements on offense and we should against a very mid Bengals defense
