I don't remember hearing any crowd noise when we had the ball at all.

Well Sam Bradford did say something in the press conference about how loud the stadium got after they made a big play on offense. Which sometimes led to the players not hearing the exact plays he was calling. He put it on himself by saying he has to speak up louder, rather than put the blame on the fans. It does help if the fans can tone it down. I can see Boone's frustration. The O-Line was already struggling and probably had a hard time hearing the protection calls due to the loudness of the stadium.

He needs to shut up and play because right now, he looks like a massive waste of free agent money.

In the fans' defense, it had been long enough ago that an offensive touchdown was scored during the regular season; they may have forgotten how they were supposed to act. :tongue:

Agreed. Daniels was throwing Fusco around like a rag doll. He's an impressive d-lineman.

How much of that is Fusco's incompetence?

At times, our OL just looks so weak. They can't stand up to bull rushers at all.

At least some of it but Daniels is definitely good.

They're just awful. We're only 2 games into the season so maybe it will get better but thus far, it looks like the Vikings went into the offseason with improving the OL as their top priority and somehow managed to make it even worse.

I'm beginning to get more frustrated we didn't grab good o line in the draft.

I mean..
I get what you are saying. But they are giving up fewer sacks this year and the Quarterback is already on pace to break last year's numbers for yards and TDs.

They gave up 4 sacks last night and allowed a lot of pressure. Hill got the ball out of his hands very quickly in week 1 and that helped him avoid sacks but the pass protection in that game wasn't exactly great.

The QB is on pace to break last year's numbers because he's a better QB and last year's numbers were lousy.

Maybe teasing was wrong. More like A self depreciating poke at how poor our pass attack wad last year that 4 sack, upper 400s in yards, and 2 TDs in two games is on pace to smoke last year is good and sad at the same time
