Can someone tell BR that there are other WR's on the field?

Does this offense have any checkdowns?

I'd like to see Bell and Alien get involved. Shitty play calling. More variety needed. Nothing new.

Hopefully the braintrust will open it up a bit in the second half.

He has enough time to complete passes - if they had a plan and any decent plays

He was wide open on a crosser.....alas Ben threw it deep ao AB. Viking defenders hit each other...MB prob catches it amd runs for days, thats assuming Ben puts it on him in stride which would proab be unlikeley. Thats one of the worst halfs of football I've seen Ben play, just horibble decision making and accuracy.

We would have 10+ more points if Ben took the dink and dunks the vikings are giving us.

Nobody is absolving poor Ben throws.

It's the fact that the coaches do not value possessions and the lack of planning involved in scoring some points at the end of half. This isn't their first rodeo.

Ben seems to have checked out -- maybe all that retirement talk is for real -- he looks less interested this season so far

Pretty sure our plays have plenty of route combos and other receivers other than AB running patterns, that shit show was on Ben plain and simple.

Guys...as far as I can tell, this is all Ben.

It's not like he hasn't had other options. He's the one who decided to once again force stuff to Brown at the end of that drive.

Time to start attributing at least SOME accountability to the guy who is the engine of the offense maybe?

And Watt injured? Christ...are we NEVER allowed to have good things?

All of that was on Ben who insists on throwing deep every play. He's going for quick strike rather than long drives. The play calling is giving him the option to do either. He just isn't making the right decisions.

Precisely.

Ben's decision-making has been really really awful for the entire second part of the second quarter, guys

Any Ben defenders so far today..
Or does he look just as good as he did last week.
He has to get his head out of his ass ..
Read the field and find the open guy.
Check down if nothing is there.

You gotta be happy if your Minnesota only down by eleven here. Ben has been close to hitting AB on a few plays but they are getting pressure. Villy has been getting owned.
Watt going out is massive. Other than Heyward he was the best D player on the field today.
The somehow is the somehow

I think there are plenty of us blaming Ben today -- He looks like shit, as he has both games this season
