Dude just let it go. It's a simple slant route, it was ran perfectly, teddy needs to lead the receiver. Patterson needs to catch the ball though.
It's funny on plays like these, fans automatically excuse the player who's played well and try to blame it on the struggling player. Truth is that's on both of them, bad pass, but catchable.
If it is catchable that is all that needs to be said.

Again, since it hasn't been mentioned yet, nice stop by the defense.

Teddy's throws to Jennings and Patterson weren't on target where his WRs were expecting it, but they were on target to complete the pass and not have the WRs get slammed by the safety.
So, yes, those throws are on Teddy but if he throws were the route dictated, Jennings and Patterson probably would have gotten blown up. Good QBs keep their WRs safe and that's what those throws were showing us.

That's not defending CP, it's just pointing out that the route Thielen ran wasn't anything special, just a fly pattern which doesn't take much talent to run.

Are you trying to bait once again?? Never said "he's awesome and beyond reproach". Thats just you putting words in my mouth. All I was simply saying is that that play had nothing to do with his route running. That was pretty clear. The ball was thrown behind him and he missed the catch but it had nothing to do with his route running. It's just an excuse for some fans to run to when he doesn't do what they want him to
I only tune into this site to enjoy you both launching into each other.

Not really, not from an nfl QB
If that was Christian ponder would we be excusing the pass?

Vikings need a running threat. I'd put Patterson in the backfield more often just to keep the defense honest.

Well I sit here and simply say that play has nothing to do with route running and he has to jump down my throat and act like a 10 year old.

No, because happy feet would have ran into his own lineman, thrown an int, or been sacked.
