Bolden isn't looking good.

Ridley is also not looking good, averaging 3 yards a carry.

I don't mind bolden as our #3 RB...but there is no reason for him to play if the other two can go


Also, with this much of a lead, we should be running it straight up with Ridley more, were abandoning the run just a little bit

He had no blocking. They were in the backfield in a minute.

Maybe, but i see a lot of hesitation from him too

Looked like it took bolden the better part of an hour to get going on that last carry

I can't stand Josh Mcdaniels playcalling. 2nd and 18 and hes running the ball? How about on 2nd and 18 a fade to the corner of the endzone to Dobson?

Or at least a pass that would pick up some decent yards?

Tyms deserve a chance when the time comes. The 8 million dollar free agent duo are pretty close to useless at this point.

Almost a 2nd & 20 and you call upon the great Brandon Bolden to get you something? I'm sorry that's nothing short of pathetic in terms of play calling. I'm sure in another parallel universe or planet there will be time for a Bolden 2nd & 20 run but that was not it.

This new Peyton Manning Nationwide commercial is the ****ing worse thing on TV

3rd and 18. Yea lets run it. That's what we do. That's ALL WE DO!!! B f'n S

Devey's had a good game. Sorry to see the holding call on the last series, but overall he's been fine.

The Vikes enemy is time.

They will soon need 3 Tds and 2 conversions with a pat to tie.

He must be good on special teams, because I honestly don't know why he is still on the team.

I think it's just because he can do a little of everything. If we had an injury to Vereen or Ridley he can come in and kind of pick up. Why he would be in over either? No idea. Hopefully White beats him out next season.

We will need more TD's at some point.

Overall the offense has not impressed me. We have only scored 1 offensive TD this game that was on a legit drive.

1 offensive TD per game (that was not gift wrapped at that 1 yrd line) worries me.

Penalties have killed offensive drives. Also the RZ offense has gotten 17 point on 3 trips. 2tds and a FG.

Seriously people, think RATIONAL.. we are not playing fantasy football.. this was great clock management at the end. A pass at 2nd/3rd would have stopped the clock.

Time more important than winning by 3000 points..

Ghost is money, plus now he has the wind back be ready in the stands

The OL is still a work in progress.

Nah! Edelman was open. A slightly better pass or Edelman being a bit faster and that would have been a big gain. You can't blame the play call when the receiver has a jump on the defender it should have been a catch.

Plus, there was no chance of an interception where it was thrown.

Please tell me you are joking? What could possibly make you think that Bolden can even carry Ridley or Vereen's jockstrap.
