I think he is likely better then Clemmings playing with one arm behind his back. Not sure if he is beter using only one leg though.

I always that it was a possibility. The questions were how good is or isn't he really and also how quickly can he pick up the offense? We are gonna find out soon enough.

T-minus 32 minutes until I can eat my Chili and take a nap. Looking forward to halftime highlights.

Wow this has been sloppy so far.

Not sure how they pick up that pass interference flag. It was the wrong decision.

Our offensive line needs to pick it up.

Well, I guess the no-call against us at the end of the half was a makeup call...

Now we get to see if Zimmer can make some more halftime adjustment magic!

My bad guys. I posted a thread talking about how well the Vikings and Wild were playing and how positive things are looking for the Wolves. Since that post the Wild lost in Jersey and the Vikings O-line apparently decided not to return from the bye week. At this point I expect KAT to go down with a career ending injury before the week is out.

I finished watching the condensed game a while ago. That was just one of those games that happens sometimes. Well except the oline is real concern obviously. It looked like they were trying all kinds of stuff switching guys around. I don't get it stick guys at one spot and go with it unless you are forced a different way. It seemed bizarre. I don't know what they need to do to fix the line but Asiata wasn't his usual solid pass protecting self this game. Well now we don't have to worry about being undeated. back to the drawing board for the Oline.

Ugh. I went to this game and experienced the collective glee of thousands of rabid Eagles fans yearning for a win after falling off their perch the last couple of weeks. Their defense simply dominated our offense.

One thing I noticed about both teams is that neither has a game-changing talent on offense. Wentz may be that guy eventually, but in terms of RBs and WRs, neither team has anyone that on any given touch could break away for a long touchdown. This whole game came down to defense and special teams.

I am encouraged by Patterson's continued maturation as a wide out. Perhaps he is a guy that could eventually breakout for us(?). What about giving Treadwell a chance?

Q - I was going to say Patterson seems to be our guy. We certainly need to start looking at OL and RB in the draft next year. One thing that goes over looked is that Eagles OL did a good job against us for the most part.

Looking at 10 Worst we had Sirles coming up 4th and Asiata 10th

Look at how bad the Seahawks line is. Crazy they are winning at all.

I do love it when Fran gets on KFAN and says that OL doesn't matter. The guy really loves to hear his voice.
