- OL stunk.  Think teams have really watched that Denver tape with the blitz and watching the OL crumble under pressure (not taking anything away from vikings DL, really wanted that DE that got the safety in the 3rd last year)

- D started off good.  Corners still young and will make rookie mistakes.  

 

- biggest failure was coaching.  Zero adjustments.   D started strong, but vikings moved to short drops quick passes helping the blitzes.  We kept with the same game plan and got burned.

- shula holy crap.  He watched the vikings make the adjustment needed right in front of his eyes but he was clueless.  Started off strong but once the vikings made the adjustments bringing pressure.  Instead of using our targets size to our advantage like they did with Rudolph on short 10 yard routes. We kept semding the guys 20+ yards down taking to much time to develop. NO quick hits to help Cam dump it out.

 

The penalties hurt and mistakes by some players did to.  But their staff just took Rivera and Co to school

No fire, what so ever.

Walking to the line, stupid penalties, brain farts leading to dropped 1st downs, holding penalties, and a ST TD....etc.

 

We didn't want to be out there.  Then again, we did play one of the best D's in the league, and now we are starting 1-3 in the face when it could easily be 3-0.

IMO, Greg and Cam better sit down with Shula and Ron soon.

This was a complete, team loss.

Second half, we were just dead.  75% of the crowd wasn't even there on that first Minny drive in the second half and they just marched down.   No energy, at all.   I somewhat think our guys may think they can coast into victories after last year, hopefully they wake up.

But a lot of it starts at the top with coaching.   These guys looked unprepared and played sloppy.   There was some bogus calls but a lot of stupid stuff.  KB has almost negated as many yards as he's earned this year.   He needs to practice blocking.  He was picking up a ton of penalties in the preseason as well.  

Shula was terrible and our team still cannot get calls to Cam quick enough.   When you have a great defense and they know to rush at the 1 second mark EVERY play, well, think about it.   This has been like this for years and it's killing us.

Cam did hold the ball too long, and often, probably at least 30-40% of the sacks were from that.  He has to learn to throw the ball away, especially if he's not going to be able to run on a good defense to make miracle plays.   Cam was just off, I don't know if it was the ankle thing, or what.  

Special teams is terrible, as always, minus Andy Lee.   This hasn't been addressed in years.  I mean, dating back to Fox.

O-Line looked bad, but against a good defense the coaches should have had some short developing plays to help that.   Just like the Denver games, they did not.   Adjustments were just nonexistent.  

Hate him or not, but losing Norman, took a part of our team away.   We lost a TON of energy.   Team looks deflated.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
