I was, and am.  Winston seemingly couldn't miss for WAY too many passes, and it seemed like they could move the chains at will...initially.

I'm also, admittedly, very frustrated with Trae Waynes.  I think him making the occasional "redemption play" actually adds to the frustration, because it keeps him from getting completely benched.

Pretty sure those were all scripted plays based on weaknesses they identified in their scouting report. The key is that the Vikings adjusted and shut it down for the most part.

Great write up, I agree with most of it.  Mike Olson brings up a good point, that with Rhodes on the other side they are gonna stay away from him which means more he may need help on his side.

Please don't stop playing because you missed one week. Missing several weeks you will have a hard time catching up. There's also bonus points for a top 10 finish pet week and the end of year wager can make you a champion, just ask zerker
