Even though he got the penalty, Tyrann saved that drive by covering Peterson in the flat forcing Teddy to throw it away. The whole defense bought the fake that was a TD if Tyrann didn't read it and cover AP.

All the offense has to do is execute & finish. The Big Red is moving the ball.

Yeah I expect to see it opened up in the 2nd half. That was an odd gameplan for the 1st. BA is the master and I trust him, just not sure why in a game against a depleted secondary we ran what looked like one of the more conservative gameplans of the season.

Maybe he thought that they would be covering deep shots extra closely so maybe he would catch them off guard with screens. Either way, I expect us to adjust on both sides of the ball and get things going.

Norv is beating Bettcher like a drum. 3/5 on 3rd downs, moving the ball at will on a short week. Lets see if he has an answer.

This is not a very scary offense Minnesota is putting out there, no reason for the defense to continue to give up huge chunks of yards.

Offense needs to not play sloppy, they are missing a lot on defense, no reason we can't score at will on these guys.

This so far is on the players and not Bettcher. You have responsibilities on screens. You do not play timid and Minter needs to hit the hole. I think they need to play more responsible than they are now... offense, saw Palmer want to wind up and go deep as on the scramble and the sack and it appears Massie was slipping the guy in on long designed plays so far

Looked like he expected the TE to chip before releasing.

I wouldn't mind if we pursued a different defensive coordinator in the offseason.
