1 – This loss hurts more than last week.

2 – Sure, Murray took some bad decisions, but this is still my favorite version. It seems obvious to me that he is being controlled by the system. That he is not trying to freestyle and be a superman, but rather plays within the structure – unlike last week, for example. I think that brings out the best version of him.

3 – Pass protection is such an underrated part of Connor’s game. Two bigtime blocks in this game saved Murray from being decapitated.

4 – Some weeks ago, I wrote how Rallis might need an advisor to help him. I would like to apologize for that crazy thought. He’s really good.

5 – Matt Prater has won the last two games.

6 – I had Jonathan Greenard as my #1 wish signing in free agency. Instead, now he beat the Cards by taking over the game on that last drive.

7 – Do you let them score when they are on the 13-yard line with two minutes left? That’s about 1.50 minutes and three timeouts to get into field goal range. Ryland already has two game winners this season, and I remember in the Bears game where one of his kicks would have been good from at least 65, if not more. Now the Vikings managed to take about 40 seconds off the clock.

8 – The OC-position could certainly be upgraded, but I would be very surprised if Petzing gets fired. Shocked, actually.

9 – Whale of a game by Mack Wilson.

10 – Kind of interesting that Jalen Thompson stepped right in and took Taylor-Demerson’s snaps. I did not expect that.

I been a vocal Petzing hater.
However...he does have a solid offensive mind. Imo he was promoted too soon and still needs guidance and development to reach his potential..much like our friend Kliff...
I think we need a consultant to work with him, or an "offensive assistant " ...maybe a retired HC to help him figure it out...
Then I think we need to look at a new WR coach...we have talent there that is going unrealized
