Vikings @ Panthers Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 3

Ed Harris: What do we have on the spaceship that works?

Waynes and Marcus?

[yezzir]

Our O line is almost non existent. Bradford has no time to do a thing.

‏@GoesslingESPNThe Vikings' offense has been on the field for just 8:57 in the first half, and they've gained just 35 yards

Sam Bradford SUCKS. If he doesn't learn to get the ball out or step up at the top of his drop back, it doesn't matter how pretty a ball he throws.

ZERO pocket presence.

[autobon7]

interesting half. Turner has to make some serious adjustments.
Can't believe they didn't go for 2. What's the difference tween 10-9 vs 10-8?

Exactly......please explain to Norv Turner please

He has time, he doesn't know how to use it. WORTHLESS.

Sad when Clemmings was better than Boone & Smith.

LOL, you said pocket!

[Mothman]

Are the offensive woes us missing AD or that we lost our LT, our LG, and we are playing one of the best defenses in the league?

Neither.

They start with Spielman, Zimmer and Turner. I would think that would be evident to everyone by now. The offense has been among the least effective in the league since this coaching staff arrived.

That's interesting because I saw Berger whiff on a 3 man rush and Smith get planted flat on his ####. Both before Boone went out.

[PurpleMustReign]

This offense is terrible. Absolutely horrible. The line couldn't keep a 5 year old kid in a wheelchair away from the QB and give him time to throw. If it is more than 3rd and 5, the offense gives up and tries to give the punter some room.

Yet, we are somehow only down by two. I still think Carolina will win based on the ineptness of the offense, but I am impressed so far with the defense.

[PurpleKoolaid]

Rick should be fired. He has no idea how to stop the rush. None.I dont think he knows what a pass rush is. He is an embarrassment to us Viking fans. A defense is nice but you need at least aan average Oline and we have one of the worst. Thanks Rick. Your going to knock SB out of the game!

[808vikingsfan]

Yes.

I think you can also add having a starting qb that's been on the team for only 22 days

[fiestavike]

LOL, you said pocket!

There's room to step up. The pass protection continues to be leaps and bounds better than last year. I'd like to see Shaun Hill in the 2nd half.

[HardcoreVikesFan]

I know it is not fair to call-out the defense, but Anthony Barr was surprisingly struggling during the first half.


Might as well just max protect the rest of the game. What a disgrace this offensive line is.
