Most people would blame the QB for only 140 passing yards if a team lost a game where they never got into the end zone even once.....but then there's the Bridgewater cult. If any of those drives that led to FG's actually got in the end zone, the Vikings win easily, but they had to settle for FG's and have their kicker do literally all of their scoring. For some that's unacceptable.....even if you can't/won't understand that.
Hmmmm...if any of those drives that led to FGs actually get into the end zone how would they 'easily' win. Three drives led to FGs (one led to a missed FG). So, 13-10 is an 'easy' win? Don't you think Seattle's play calling and strategy may have changed if the score was different? Also on the last drive that led to a missed FG, it was obvious (at least to most people) that they were working to make sure they were in FG position rather than forcing attempts at a TD, just like the vast majority of the teams in the NFL would have done in the exact same situation.
Sure, that' was the goal on the very last possession, but what about all of those that came before that possession? I'm just saying that if the Texans lost a game where they never got into the end zone, people would blame the QB, but then again the Texans QB doesn't have a cult like following.
minnesota fans are blaming 1. The kicker 2. Adrian Peterson 3. Blind luck on that Wilson botched snap There is no one blaming teddy, except you.
No, I was responding to your post that had any of the 3 FGs had been TDs, the Vikings would have 'easily' won. Since when is a 3 point victory an 'easy' win. Also, as I mentioned, the Seahawks play calling and strategy would most likely have changed if the score was different. For all we know, had any of the first 3 FGs been TDs, the Seahawks may have won 30-13.
Well then your fellow Minnesota fans are fools. I mean, that's not to say that those other 3 factors weren't part of the loss, but when you rely on your kicker to be 100% of your scoring you lose games like this. As to AD, blaming him is stupid, the ONLY reason the Vikings were in the playoffs to begin with was because he returned to being the best RB in the NFL. Without him, they have a top 10 pick in the draft.
He'll be lucky if he ever makes it back, his knee basically exploded under the great strain of taking a snap and doing a 3 step drop in practice.
Yeah...derailed before it really had a chance to get started. They were primed for a good season with him at the help. Boy did the VIkes f*** up when they gave their 1st away for Sam Bradford.
Bradford actually had a really good season for them but with their OL completely falling apart and no AD, they had no chance.
Not really, Sam Bradford did a lot better than Teddy Bridgewater ever has for the Vikings even in only 15 games. In some ways Bridgewater's injury helps the Vikings in that it gave them an upgrade at the QB spot.
