Teams just can not win games with only one touchdown
Wentz made many mistakes but Jetts and Hock both dropped TDs. Brandels penalty cost a TD and the snap over the head. The entire team was bad. There's nothing out there to replace Wentz with. This went way beyond one player. Our D did play great early after the 1st drive but KOCs offense couldn't score again. Hate to post it but based on KAM's draft history I don't get a great feeling for JJM.

Vikings have Bromser, Bromser can not do any worse than Wentz

True. But the drops and penalties Brosmer won't fix that. Brandels penalty for holding the guy was on the ground already. He was out of the play. We lost a TD. Jets had the TD drop and Hock. That's giving the game away. The Eagles tried to give it to us. Even Jets told the reporter when asked about the guy sticking his arm in Jets said that needs to be caught. It had nothing to do with the DB. That's playing poorly and I think it goes beyond one player.

A couple of players made some mistakes. Some drops, a few penalties. The defense had it's fair share of problems but played well enough for a mildly better offense to win.

One player failed harder than the rest and it wasn't close. Wentz overthrew, he underthrew, blatant intentional grounding, bad timing on short routes, terrible interceptions, backwards passes, missed wide open guys some of whom were the first read. In the red zone he played like someone paid him to lose. The only time the Vikings scored in the red zone was when the ball was snapped to someone other than Wentz.

He did some good things. Had those nice runs. Did make some decent throws. But not remotely enough to justify the bad.

Maybe JJM will be a failure, but at least he has the potential to improve. Wentz is a finished product.
