Idk he did came up big (6 rec 110 yard 1 TD (a great one) and was the difference against the Steelers, so I can't say never but ya he also had 2 big fumbles against the Dolphins and Ravens that pretty killed potential comebacks and now this (although he did have a TD so Nelson giveth and Nelson taketh)
This is so ridiculous. The people who are openly rooting for Mac to fail are frustrating. He could have scored on that last drive, forced overtime, and if Minnesota had won the toss and scored a TD to end it, people would still be killing him. It’s just aggravating and it’s sad that we’ve shifted away from rooting for a team and we’re now split on players.
This feels a little close to real life at times, which definitely sucks some of the fun out of things. And like I said before, even if Zappe plays and struggles (which already happened), the story would shift toward the team sucks, Patricia sucks, etc, which is something those same people rooting for Mac (and the team) get called out for.
This is just an irritating situation, and it’s going to make this last month that much tougher because we’ve got a rough road ahead. I just can’t believe this is where we’re at…but "it is what it is"
He's 35, he's been to the post season basically each year of his great career.. that's a ton of football on his body.. father time is undefeated.
Meaning Dugger is a box safety, mayo switches up the safeties on each play to confuse the offense. Yeah I saw him fall just like everyone else did.. it happens, it's football.. however if he didn't fall was that Going to stop hockenson from scoring?
It would be nice if they occasionally scored in the red zone. They are 38% on the year and 15% in the last 3 games. That puts them at 31st in the league.
Nobody wants Mac to fail, prior to last night's breakout game. Mac was doing that all by himself. Fans didn't have a hand in it, other than pointing it out
Duggar is on the end of the line and assigned to Hockenson. If Duggar does not fall he will stop Hockenson from the TD 9 out of 10 times.
Wilson played for Cleveland last year.
Gilmore is still a good CB, but Gillylock is long gone, disappeared a few years ago. That is why he was a free agent and took a 50% cut in pay - no-one wanted him. I would like to see him come back, but only at the Colts pay level or lower.
Wilson is a LB, not a safety. Chung covered TEs his whole 2nd stint with the Pats.
Peppers is not a coverage safety, he is a Special Teams ace and a in the box safety. Watch more closely next game.
Fans weren't wrong to say that 4 TD's to 7 INT on the season wasn't a pathetic display of QB'ing.
While it's pretty bad, the talent around him isn't very good which many posters are still in denial over. In fact, the board has been bipolar on Mac and this team. First they say the overall roster and coaching sucks, then they say the roster is fantastic, coaching isn't an issue, but it's Mac's fault. Mac needs more experienced coaching, the musical chairs at OL needs to end and he needs better talent at WR. Posters like to point out one or two plays from Twitter that a WR is wide open to make it look like Mac is incompetent, but they have been graded out as among the worst at separating from their defenders going on 4 years now.
Any team with multiple weapons and a varied attack will give our defense problems if the opposing coaches are aware enough to attack weaknesses. Hard to stop Jefferson, Cook, Theilen and Hockenson all at once.
