Great play by Bucannon.

Bettcher will make adjustments to what the Vikings have game planned and we will shut them down.

man... I can't help but think our complete lack of pass rush will ultimately be the thing that keeps us from winning the whole thing. I mean, we just can't get anywhere NEAR the QB.
Well, BASK thought it would be better to draft an offensive lineman who will be inactive the entire season instead of drafting someone like Shaq Thompson or Stephone Anthony who both are having nice years this year.

Nice job Buc.

I wonder does Bettcher know you don't need to be all blitz-happy against Checkdown QBs.

Yep, That is keeping us from being an elite team. No pressure at all gives QB's too much time to make their reads

He hasn't so far, and he has had ample time to do so. There's no excusing his lack of adjustments right now. WTF gives? It's like he's convinced himself the Vikings would do something different, and that their rampant offense so far is only a clever ruse trying to mislead him lol

How can we allow so many guys to be so wide open?

well the last one was a blatant penalty they didnt' call. But the other ones they're using our aggressiveness against us.

But that entire drive was that one play that should have come back

Bettcher runs the same cover 3 zone blitz every play. Even I know it gets destroyed by screens and passes to the flat in Madden.

Yeah, he doesn't scheme, hide or design blitzes anywhere Bowles did. Leaves a lot to be desired.

If the book on Bridgewater is a solid short to mid pass game, west coast style qb, why not run man-under as a primary defense. He can't throw deep, guy is Alex Smith version 2.

nah... we're still an elite team. But that keeps us from being completely and utterly dominating and almost unstoppable.
