They played hard every single drive and never seemed to let up. I think this idea that they have tape on him so they know how to beat him is overblown.

Our OL played poorly, the receivers and Minshew were on two different pages, and Minshew couldn’t overcome it. I don’t think this means they figured him out. I just think that we didn’t have anyone playing well on offense against a very good defense.

+1 and for the bolded part, it felt like they were suffocating our offense. 

I kept thinking of the sound bite where, and I paraphrase, Westbrook said Minshew is very vocal and specific well calling plays in the huddle which makes it easier for everyone to run their plays because they know what is coming. If this is the case there was a breakdown after the ball was snapped but at times it looked like the receivers just didn't know what to do from the start. 

Speaking of Westbrook, I about punched my tv when he let that punt bounce back to our 2 yard line, or thereabouts. I definitely yelled at him and I hope he got a good  [BLEEP] chewing from the coaches.
