Looks like our offensive line game plan is to let someone in unblocked every couple pass plays.

Serious. The rushers are in the backfield the same times as Teddy.

Good teams don't kick field goals when they get a gift like that.

Seems like Teddy is being asked to do a lot thus far. Lots of down field passing. Not our team's strength.

Peterson actually did a nice job in blitz pick-up on that 3rd down play. Otherwise, TB would have been flattened.

This might be a "famine, famine, feast" day for Adrian.

If their blocking and downfield passing don't improve, EVERY game will be that kind of game for Peterson.

Thoughts after 1 quarter:

We need OLine help BADLY.
The Chargers aren't falling for any Play Action fakes.
Our WRs can't get separation.
Teddy has to run for his life on every play.
We need OLine help badly.

He's under pressure when throwing them, too. Our o-line will have the biggest say in this game.

It's a little crazy that Thielen was in on that last series IN THE RED ZONE over Patterson. Patterson clearly in one or more doghouses or something. What in the world.
