[Spaulding!No!]

Wentz rocks!

 

[GophersInIowa]

Red zone offense stinks

 

[howeda7]

Or he’s gonna engineer an epic second half comeback????

They're in the game despite him. With even an average NFL back-up QB they're winning.

You say potatoe I say potato

A few missed holdings on that drive.

I feel for Leidner. Had he chose NDSU it would be Mitch playing for the Vikes today. Cruel world.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Hockenson was wide open, but our QB makes him dive to try to catch it. That was a horribly managed drive. Way too much time off the clock and still just getting a FG.

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

This better be the last game Wentz starts and KOC is one of the worst, if not the worst play caller in the league.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Nice coverage

 

[wiscsucks]

Rigged League

 

[GophersInIowa]

Brutal loss

 

[kg21]

Zero pass rush and no coverage ability kind of sucks sometimes.

Or not!!!!!!

Brutal loss

Meh

.500 talent at best

 

[kg21]

19 completions for 326 yards is pathetic

You’re crazy. Just go 4 of 6 in the red zone and it’s a comfortable win.

 

[upnorthkid]

1 TD in 6 RZ trips plus a pick 6 ain't gonna do it

Correct, but they struggle in the redzone continuosly

It never ends. Been going on for years.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

TJ Droppinsome in form

 

[howeda7]

KOC is not the worst play caller in the league. But he abandons the run constantly, especially in the Red Zone.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

I didn’t watch the game at all and I know the game script didn’t exactly call for it, but can we try to run the ball. There is no way having Carson Wentz throw the ball 42 times is a winning strategy. We have reached I hear what you say and trust what you do territory. KOC says he wants to run the ball more and yet he doesn’t run the ball more.

That’s not lack of talent though. It’s lack of execution.

I didn't see you call out the obvious holding on Mn when wentz scrambled for 2 first downs.

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

Team loss. Mainly KOC, Flores, Wentz and the secondary. They all contributed

Funny: my critique is his insistence on running on first down from the 10 & 11 as they did on the first & last drives. The TOLs killed both of those drives. If you see too much passing & I see too much running—maybe it’s the personnel…

oh

 

[GopherGrit]

What a terrible holding call

Awful call. Hockenson was a catch for a TD, awful call.

Rigged.

League did not want defending champs taking three losses in a row

 

[GopherGrit]

A few missed holdings on that drive.

On one of the Eagles huge TD throws the right guard was false start by a mile. No call.

Rigged

For once, once, this drum you pound no matter what, every time, is actually correct.

70-80% of this loss was on the defense, plain and simple.


Almost zero pressure on Hurts. Has all day the throw. And then 4-5 massive, huge throws that are inexcusible.

Defense lost the game today.

Offense was not great ... but they scored points because they consistently were able to march down the field. That's something.

Fair, and correct.

But the takes trying to dishonestly pin the loss on one player are out in full force and not disappointing.
