Skins-Vikes Post game good & bad

[JWsleep]

If the D doesn't step up big time in Dallas, we're all talking about how Colt had a delay penalty and took a sack when we were in field goal range to win it. Colt was good and I like the guy, but let's keep some perspective.

The main question for me coming into Minnesota was this: will RGIII play better than he did at Houston. Answer: yes, without a doubt. Too bad we didn't win it, but that's the key to the rest of this season. RGIII getting better, making strides, getting comfortable with the O and his receivers. He's played only TWO games this year. That's the problem.

Yup, and if the D stepped up against the Vikes we're talking about RG3's triumphant return and how he energized the offense.

We have moved the ball all year we just need to get 7 more than we get three. That was the case early even in Minny. Gotta be able to score touchdowns when we get close. Hope that is a real focus going into the bye.
Edit: fourth in total yards! More than effin Denver and New England. We just dont score enough td's. Obviously the D stinks but we knew that.

3 TDs and 2 FGs should have been more than enough to win that game.

Absolutely correct, not trying to lay blame.
4 td's and 1 fg would have won the game though.

So would have a stand or two by the D. They blew 3 leads, 2 late.

D absolutely lost the game. BUT we have either settled for 3 or been knocked back out of range too many times - and with our shit ass D we need 7 when we have the chance.

Yeah these are all fair points. I actually thought he was pretty solid. But fair or not, RG3 is held to a much higher standard than journeymen McCoy or 4th rounder Cousins. He had a chance at the end of the half and the game to put points up and didn't deliver. If there isn't a turnover late in the half we probably win the game.
