Quote:I like knocking Bridgewater with the best of them and don't think he'll ever amount to much but... 1) The Vikings line has been god awful for Teddy pass blocking wise. Has been sacked on 8.9% of his drop backs and broke the record for number of passes thrown away apparently 2) Vikings have had nobody receivers the last two years 3) Norvs scheme is notoriously finicky to learn and does not suit Bridgewater at all. 4) Was kept out of the game because the line is really bad and didn't want the Seahawks killing him/ wanted to see how the backups are more than they wanted to play Teddy and risk an injury

Part of that is teams have figured out they can stack the box to try and help stop AP (which that still doesnt work) and crash the whole defense closer to the line of with out any fear of Teddy beating them over the top  because of his lack of arm strength.  Their oline was better than ours last year in run and pass blocking.  Pff has them 16th overall in passblocking.  https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-ran...is-season/

 

There really is no excuses this year with the Vikings getting the best WR in the draft Treadwell, Diggs, a speedster and great talent in Patterson, and Rudolph.  Minus the QB the Vikings really have no weakness and easily a top 5 team with all the talent on both sides of the ball especially defense.  With Alex Smith they could make the SB imo if most of the team stays healthy
