Very brutal O. Generational D. Wasted that huge KR. At some point we’ll need to put up 23.

6/0 is gawdy

I don’t have a feel for the ceiling of this team.

K1 was hot/cold today and the run game anemic.

Taylor would sure look good in Viking purple.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

We are in trouble on offense. We have a rough stretch of games coming up as well.

We were listless. Bye week seemed to take any of the rhythm we were building away.

Need to put up at least 20 per game this coming month.

At lions

Bills

At GB

SF In Mexico

3 of the next 4 not at home. I think they’ll have to score 24 at a few of these. I’m pretty sure.

Seat belt on…

Murray flat out missed at least 3 throws. Brendel doesn’t hold and we put up another TD. Zero rhythm.

Offense bad, defense good.

The post-bye bump we were all hoping for on offense didn't happen whatsoever. Did Jefferson get a target in the second half? Like JustinTime said-- no rhythm, no identity on offense. We're a run-first team that get's stuffed at the LOS on half our runs. I hope Jones isn't hurt too badly, Mason dropped a couple today.

Kyler has been excellent at protecting the football I'll give him that- It reminds me of Kirk's early days in purple a bit. But the easy completions are way too few and far between. Every yard is a struggle it seems like and maybe that's just not going to change. I hope it does but, hmmm.

EDIT: 6-0 BABY! SKOL

Two big time 3rd down misses to JJ and Felton I believe. Both throws need to be thrown before they break back to the ball. Both were super late and high. That is a possible 8-point swing.

Raggatz is right, that offense can’t stack plays consistently.

You can see that they are capable of so much more. Honestly after the Saints game, I thought we’d have our first 30 burger.

Gotta think if we still had Udinski we’d be more consistent.

Not sure?

K1 and the running game are so inconsistent.

I just have to hope it starts to click. Looking like a shoot out in Motown today.

Offense has to figure it out. I don't like we took a step back. It isn't like the talent isn't there.

Bills and Lions are porous on D. GB can be decent.

49ers is going to be brutal. If you can bet less than the under take it.

3 points a quarter would be outstanding. 3 for 6 4th quarters is stupefying.
