Why imagine? I wasn't referring to the QBR number. I posted in response to this line, which was included in the quote you posted and which wasn't comprehensive:dead_poet wrote:I imagine the stats are comprehensive and reflect those two situations as well.
If the fumbles had been included, I wouldn't have mentioned them.Stats in clutch: 22-of-30 passing for 314 yards with two TDs, no INTs and six sacks, plus 29 yards rushing.
No problemo.dead_poet wrote:Ah. Sorry. Thought you were referencing the QBR
Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has thrown just three touchdown passes in Minnesota’s last six games, and that’s a growing concern for those who watch Bridgewater closely.
Bridgewater’s nine touchdown passes this year are by far the fewest in the NFL among quarterbacks who have started every game, and his six completions of 40 or more yards are tied for the fewest among quarterbacks who have started every game. (A lot of quarterbacks who haven’t started every game are ahead of Bridgewater in both statistical categories, too.)

Bridgewater’s failure to make big plays a concern in Minnesota

It's not that different from what he's been calling for some time now: bootlegs, shallow crossing routes, passes to the backs, etc. It's really not a new development in the past two games. The biggest difference I've seen the last two weeks has been a solid commitment to the run and an increased willingness from Bridgewater to throw downfield into tight windows. That TD pass to Diggs was a beauty and it's not the type of pass TB even attempts very often. Ditto for the great completion down the seam to Wallace. Plays like those help keep that underneath stuff open and I think that's what Turner's been trying to do for a while.mondry wrote:Should change the thread title to "Teddy Bridgewater needs more consistency from Norv"! The two weeks Norv's played to Teddy's strengths he's been awesome!

Its been quite a few things, all year. But the ones pointing the finger at Teddy the most, at the end of games, place too much blame on one individual, will maybe now look outside the box for a minute, and just say, Teddy sure had a nice game today didnt he?'. With no buts. Just that.jackal wrote:I have been saying all season its not Teddy ... Norv and Zimmer have wanted to progress slowly
If your boss tells you to only cut 150 pieces of wood and one tree .. its not fair to expect three trees and 350
pieces of wood..
I hope all of the Ponder comments and second guessing stops now .... Teddy is for real people
You do me a disservice, sir. I would hope my posting history shows that's not the type of fan I am.IrishViking wrote:Its odd because I can say the samething about what Bridgewater has been trying to do as well, they just actually connected this game.
I know you are just a fan and really want to see the Vikings win and that you had firm expectations of Teddy that you want him to live up to but sometimes I have this Vision of us in 20 years talking about Teddy's speech at Canton and us all talking about the 3 superbowls he won and you just indepth discussing his various missed opprotunities and how you are happy the Vikings will finally be able to develop a better QB.

Actually, quite a few Vikings players had a nice game today. That doesn't take anything away from Teddy. It just shows that the Vikings win or lose as a team.
