Vikings @ Jaguars Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 14

That would be like asking why Junior High teams line cannot open a hole against a High School team. Swiss Cheese is jealous of this lines holes.

To paraphrase the great John McKay, "We can't pass protect, but we make up for it by not run blocking."

Yeah, basically every expert put Teddy above Bortles at the end of last year. Then add to that the fact that Bortles has tanked this year so I don't know what you're talking about.

Bortles has tanked this year, but Bortles season last year was fantastic, any expert putting Bridge above him clearly was basing their opinion on speculation on the future, not anything that actually occured on the field.

35- 18 TD to Int ratio with Jags is far better then 14-9 with the Vikings. (A superior team)

I'm feeling a retina detaching watching this game.

Great quote! One of my favorites from McKay: “We’ve broken down the expansion teams and they’ve averaged winning 2.7 games their first year, which to me is rather difficult. I figured out the 2, but the .7 has got me wondering what the hell is going on.”

Nice play by Rhodes. Our run D is pretty weak sauce, especially when they avoid Linval. It's one of our weaknesses.

So frustrating to watch them run easily on us and compare that to our utter incompetency trying to run the ball.

He was one of a kind.

Reporter: "How do you feel about your team's execution today?"

McKay: "I'm in favor of it".

On Tampa Bay ending its 26-game losing streak: "Three or four plane crashes and we're in the playoffs."

Bradford just became our leading rusher with that four yard scamper.

Thanks for the first down, Ramsey.

Line looked pretty good there. But Sam is too scared to throw down field.

And there's no indication that any of our actual RBs will pass that this game.

Or they look past that (because they are experts) and see he has a terrible throwing motion and the Vikings relied on a running game led by AD. Or you know, any other advanced metric to grade QBs.

Replay showed there weren't any options downfield so I think he made the right decision.

Of course.

Yay. Another FG.
