Joshua Dobbs honeymoon is over

 

He's floating passes. No zip. Weak RTP, full body-weight BS, what are you supposed to do there?

I stand corrected. He zipped THAT one. And oops.

The Vikings trying to give the game away but the Bears (so far) refusing the gift.

There was plenty of zip on that 2nd INT. In Addisons defense, that was a tough ball to catch. Dobbs had time to wait half a beat before unleashing that.

i agree, that was a weak roughing call on CHI, he had one arm down to the ground and didnt fall on Dobbs with his full weight but I don’t think the ref could see that from where he was.

I corrected myself on that 2nd INT. If he had flipped pass styles on the 2 INTs, might be 0 INTs.

Is the Dobbs experiment over? At least give Hall a shot in the 2nd half.

Dobbs is a tremendous story but it doesn’t take long for NFL teams to pick (tee-hee) apart an offense and QB once they have some video.

This crew always calls everything tight and they aren’t letting anything go tonight, mostly to the Vikings benefit.

Should probably have 4 INTs. He’s just a good backup that’s inconsistent. If they go after one of the top QBs in the draft and he’s a placeholder until they’re ready that’s as much as we should expect from him. He can win games with his feet and lose them with his arm, a few good throws excluded.

Where are the Kirk haters now? 😉 

And MN apparently DID get away with one on the intentional grounding. Should have been a 10 second run-off...

That looked like a first down when Hock held it out but maybe he was already OOB?

Looked OOB. Needed one more yard.

The clock stopped because there was an addition offsetting penalty. The rules analyst said it was the right call

Gotcha. Someone posted the exact rule on Twitter (legit) but from your post, the offsetting changes things.

According to the referee, there wasn’t a 10 second runoff because there was a holding penalty on the play as well.

If Hockenson played liked he’s 6’5” instead of 5’6” on that pass from Dobbs, meaning he keeps his feet on the ground instead of jumping, that’s a first down.

It’s only a runoff if there’s a running clock when a penalty is called and there was also a holding call on MN that stopped the clock even tho it was declined. Seems a little sketchy but I guess since it was an incomplete pass? That was a weird play.

I can't imagine viewership outside of the MSP an Chicago metro areas is very good for this pig.

An awful game.

 

Haha.....chicago catches that.  Ha!

I’ve never seen a game with so many passes to the flat. Feels like both these coaches don’t want their QBs to risk overthrows in middle of the field.

Silver lining: That interception helped us more than an incompletion.

I'm old, somewhat rotund, out of shape plus I'm slow and not at all quick.  Now for the negatives....

I think I could play guard.

The Vikings are going to be fun next season with this defense, Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson, and Cousins.

Yours? The Bears are on pace for a +6 in TO margin in the past two games for two losses if the Vikings get one good drive

How do you miss that throw? Addison was open by 10 yards, just lead him towards the middle of the field, the safety was burned too.

He made the foolish assumption that his quarterback would throw that to the inside of the field where he could catch it and lope in for an easy TD.

FA after this year, and after seeing Dobbs tonight, Kirk Thuggins price went up a little.
