Well that’s probably it. Can’t be down 0-2 in the turnover margin with a stumped offense abs run game and win


Eventually the Vikings have to break some plays. Defense done more than enough tonight to help other than a. Turnover itself.

Backup QBs beyond being less talented physically often simply suck at reading defenses, slowing the game down and checking into the right play.  

I hear ya, but all he's got to do is look across the LOS and say "Kill, kill..."

You don't have to be a 10 year veteran

It's actually very easy to fault him. What is he accomplishing by not getting on the ball?

If nobody yells ball, it happens behind you and you are busy looking for somebody to block, you are not looking at the ground.  Now obviously who knows what was said but yea....looking at the ground isn't your chief responsibility there.

But the ball was clearly in his field of vision, right? It's not like he needed to turn to get sight of it.

Actually, it's easy to fault him for a great many things.

an OL should always assume a ball on the ground is a fumble.  that said, I can't blame him much.  it was a weird play.

How?  It came from behind and rolled by him on the ground.  In football staring at your navel isn't a recipe for success.  You don't look at the ground as an offensive lineman unless you have good reason to and if your eyes are upfield you don't see the space directly under or even a yard or two in front of your feet.
