Let's get some Diggs going.

Indeed. Let's not forget, this was a knock on him at his pro day and he had accuracy issues last year too. This is a problem that isn't getting corrected and that's definitely a concern. I don't think we're even seeing improvement. He has to become more consistent.

Getting more first downs would be my adjustment. But seriously, I'd try to get Diggs more involved. He has only 2 targets.

Is it possible to teach someone how to throw an accurate football in a 13 minute halftime? If not, we are in big trouble...

With that said, where are the reverses, screen plays, and other creative plays?

He pulled a mcnabb on a wide open wallace that would have been a monster gain. Like an 8 yard throw in the dirt with an open throwing lane, I don't get how that happens, my son can make that throw

We should go with that hard count stuff, get our tight ends in the mix more, maybe try to use CJ a bit better, he's like the only size advantage receiving wise. Peterson is doing good but it is hard to get going with the missed opportunities passing.

The upside is no sacks and not a lot of hits on Teddy. I think he will be better in the second half. I hope. I pray half heartedly?

I would not be disappointed if the Vikings used a mid-round pick on a QB next draft. Teddy just isn't getting to that next level.

Foolishly, I took the over on Wallace for 43 yards. Zero so far. Not seeing that cash again.

I'm far from a teddy hater, but you can't tell me you're not a little bit concerned with him.

Let's get Diggs more involved this half. Especially get him some bubble screens in the 4th when the wind sucks.
