More Bye Week Musing: Our Losses
OK, so maybe I have too much thinking time today, but I was thinking about our 3 losses after watching too much football.
Despite the defense not gelling and a BS call, we played the current AFCN team to the last moment.
Similarly, we hung with the current NFCN and #1 team in power rankings all the way to a missed FG attempt.
The Browns loss...eh...I put most of that on our o-line's inability to protect KC's blind side, and our lack of Cook.
So, if I'm not panicked about Dallas, the pukers, and so forth...it's because the team seems to be gelling after staggering out of the gate. Darrisaw is an obvious upgrade, our new speed demon should add a wrinkle, and I'm hoping that Breeland/Dantzler/Hand can keep the pass protection improving while P2 recuperates.
Zimmer is the biggest question mark, and I hope he's aware that some of our impending games are gonna be shootouts. In any case, I'm hoping that a week from now, Hunter, Griffen, and Pierce ruin Dak's Halloween and take all his candy.
SKOL, brothers and sisters...I think we're better than some believe.
KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

A third of the season has been played, 6 games.
Vikings have yet to play a game where they have executed in all 3 parts , ST's Offense and Defense.
our defense needs to step up from its mediocre play if we are to contend. Barr is the straw thay stirs the drink according to many, I need to see it. Never been a huge fan of his in spite of his decent to good play.
