You aren't missing much. Vikings offense needs to more aggressive. Third straight game where we went three and out on our first drive, facing fourth and one.

 

Pats offense moved pretty easily against the D.

I'm really over Priefer too. These offensive gameplans can't be much worse. The Patriots are crowding the box... Cousins has to go deep. Spread this defense out. Dinks and dunks aren't working.

Might as well punt on 1st down with these plays. No creativity. No change of pace. Absolutely predictable. Thielen has 1 target through 2 quarters. Cousins has 8 completions for 38 yards.

Well, Cousins has the check-downs down pat. Our OL really needs to get improved this offseason.

The ol is getting dominated, but the Patriots are stacking the box big time. Vikings have to spread them out, or they'll keep eating cousins for breakfast. Screens, delays, deep routes... Do something besides straight running plays and out patterns.

Tough to run deep routes when the OLine can't block for more than 2 seconds.

Much better drive. Keep the defense off balance and take advantage of their aggression.

Yeah, I was curious as to why Philly let us hire Defilippo, even though he was still under contract. Now I'm not surprised.

He was the Brad Childress of that operation. Pederson is calling the shots, and DeFillipo was along for the ride.

If we can't win, it must be because the refs don't want us to.

Teams that need an excuse will never win anything.

Nevermind the 3 that NE had to settle for when Harris got away with PI at the goalline earlier.

Can't watch, and was doing deconstruction in the new to us house. Sounds like the same team....a tease. Building a great defense is meaningless without an offense. If I was the owner, this GM would have one more year to show he can build an actual team.

You'd be a more generous owner than I.

Spielman has had long enough.
