Ballz.

OMG he wont stop going to Mattison

KOC has got to answer for this. THis is a joke.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Does Josh Dobbs look gimpy after that last hand off? I thought on the last 3rd down he could have ran up the middle and he didn’t. As he carried out that run there it seems like he is slow.

 

[MplsGopher]

Dobbs was listed on injury report with ankle, wasn’t he? Didn’t stop him from practicing just saying

 

[GophersInIowa]

The offense doesn’t know how to adjust. Just like last week.

 

[MplsGopher]

Chandler let’s go

 

[golf]

Wow! 3rd and 20 conversion after offense doing nothing this half. Big time.

 

[MUgopher32]

The offense doesn’t know how to adjust. Just like last week.

I mean the only adjustment is our head coach refusing to bench the worst player on the team and instead going to him almost every play.

Mattison is so unblieveably bad.

Magic happens anytime we go to a player other than him.

Sean Payton my least favorite player/non player in the league.

 

[MplsGopher]

MU got it. Thanks man

OK back to the game

 

[golf]

Playing for a field goal. Why? Feel like I'm watching the gophs.

 

[golf]

Can only ask the defense to do so much. C'mon, one more time

Both weeks teams have blitzed a lot more against the offense in the 2nd half. We’ve been very predictable for the most part. Run, run, then pass from the pocket.

Yup we love the first down run off momentum. Lose two yards and momentum.

D is playing their ass off

 

[howeda7]

Russel Wilson will kill them every time. Blitz for God's sak.e

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Vikings gonna need dial up some pressure.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Getting burned with check downs and no pressure from a team that blitz’s the most in the nfl is not great. Now the offense has done nothing to help the Vikings win the game.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Can’t make it up. Just like every other week. What a terrible effort by Blackmon.

 

[howeda7]

Flores lost this one.

 

[MUgopher32]

Awful coaching by KOC this half.

Just handed Denver the game. Kept going to Mattison. Kept running the ball instead of going for the jugular.

Need Dobbs magic here in the final minute.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

The fact the Vikings played so passive and let Denver just nickel and dime them down the field is terrible. Denver is shoving that defense right back into the Vikings and they have no answer to it.

 

[kg21]

Minnesota Sports all the way in this one.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Flores lost this one.

This is on the offense. Defense allowed one TD with 3 turnovers.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

That is some PJ fleck pussery by KOC there. Outside of the fake punt.

Never thought Vance Joseph would coach circles around Brian Flores but he did.

This is on the offense. Defense allowed one TD with 3 turnovers.

He still turtled up on that last drive. Zero pressure. Let Wilson check down all the way down the field and kick them right in the nads like he's done 10 other times. Pathetic.

I agree but expecting the defense to keep bailing out the offense isn’t realistic.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

A lot of blame to go around here but dropping into a prevent and letting Wilson dump it to Perine and Williams for 60 ish yards on that drive was insanely stupid. Flores was terrible on that last drive.

Also, why is Mattison still getting the ball?

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

It likely had nothing to do with the outcome in this one, but it would also be nice if our high paid TE was capable of making a catch in traffic.

 

[TruthSeeker]

KOC went full Fleck, Johnson, or Moztko (pick your Gophers loser). He played Tressel ball in the 4th quarter.

He settled for 3 when they got to 20. He had no interest in trying to get 7 points.

Mattison is a total disaster at RB. He fumbles, he's slow, he has poor vision. He completely sucks at virtually everything, and KOC continues to rely on the guy.

What the heck is KOC doing?
