It would be truly fitting if this game ended 0 - 0..........neither team deserves to win

At least our defense is starting to step it up. I want to see more Peterson action, come on!

Honest question: is it because it's a Monday night game? If this was a noon Sunday game would it look like this? Zimmer is going to have an aneurysm.

Teddy has looked terrible, but why all of a sudden are we running a bunch of 4 WR sets. Why redo AP's contract if all you're going to have him do is block (which he's not very good at apparently)

Can our line protect that long?

Lack of offensive execution have anything to do with AD not playing a snap during the preseason?

Yes, but the play was blown dead so it didn't really matter .

I'm still hoping there just shaking off the cobwebs and with peterson we all know it's feast or famine... it's not the 3-4 yards he gets normally, it's when he breaks loose that he is the most dangerous.
Teddy looks jumpy he needs to calm down a bit...hoping the O line gives him the time.

I think the best we can hope for us to win this one ugly.

I didn't really think we had a prime time game curse, but it's looking that way at the moment.

Either our receivers aren't getting open or Teddy is having trouble pulling the trigger.
