Our play calling and offensive scheme was horrible this year.  Just no identity.  Not a Sam apologist but where was the play action and bootleg passes ( one of the few things I've seen Sambo do well)  Also the play calling when Cam was in there was silly too.  RPO with that exaggerated slow hand off Cam was doing.  Jeezus.  All our Qb's dinking and dunking.  I thought last year the dink and dunk was cause Teddy liked that style.  I now realise the coaches were pushing that.  Either from lack of trust (Sam) or lack of arm (Cam) or injury gun shyness (Teddy)  we seemed content to get 4 yards a pass.   I do think they were hamstrung by the limitations of our QB's though.  That said it seems little effort was put into developing a scheme and identity for the offense other than pre-emptive damage control (aka playing scared), college style rotation of qb's ( aka bush league B.S.) and a misery go round depth chart on the offensive line.  The lack of creativity and balls by the offensive playcallers this year was embarrassing.  I do actually feel we can turn this around quickly on offense. We just need to develop an offensive identity. The fact in the same draft we took a BIG but slowish mauler like Deonte Brown and a finesse zone gap undersized LT like BC was an indication we had no clue what we wanted the oline to look like.  I actually think Elflien can play center for us.  I also think BC is deserving of a chance at LT.  That leaves our guards as the missing pieces.  Along with QB, TE and another RB to add to the committee.

Kubiak has a good football pedigree and runs the right kind of system.

That, plus his dad kicked our ass in the Super Bowl.

Not really refs gave them the game. Peyton didn’t do poo and if it wasn’t for Von Miller we win that game. We were the ones to stupid to put someone else over there to block him.

nice

Vikings fans are clowning us, this is one of the nicer comments and sounds like a sideways move at best

I think Baby Kubiak has potential. Weren't we one of the best red zone teams? And for a while there we were the best team on opening drives? Now, if he could minimize the three-and-outs, minimize all the worthless designed throws behind the LOS, and learn how to adjust mid-game, he has a chance. We'll see.

Not sure what thread to put this in.  And yeah its like a 3rd hand rumor.  But my brother knows someone that works in ticketing with the panthers and the rumor is that Tepper wants Rhule to bring him 3 OC names that he can hire 100%.  If Tepper approves they hire him and rhule keeps coaching.  If rhule bobbles this then he is done

 

100% hearsay I acknowledge just wanted to post it somewhere

Interesting 3rd hand rumor for sure!

As far as Kubiak, I've read a lot that he's overrated and not much of an upgrade for us.  Definitely a name, but not so much of a rock star.

I'm much more interested in the Rams guy.

And just what qualifies Tepper to decide if those coaches are good?

Truth. 

but maybe it isn’t even about that.  Can Rhule even find 3 guys with a real NFL resume for the job to say yes?  Maybe Tepper is just going to let the rest of the league tell him what Rhule is. 

If I was a good OC….I’m not taking the job unless it’s the last job.  Because it’s a bad job under Rhule.

Oh sweet so we’re bringing in an OC to interview who can’t adjust mid game. Like the thing we were historically bad at this past season.

rhule will probably pick someone he thinks he can just get along with and won’t threaten his power. So this guy would be perfect.

Kubiak would be a home run

 

Gary that is

    • Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.
    • Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy
    • Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
