Bears Vikings MNF

Prevent defense … prevents you from winning.

Ask Auburn. And the vikes just blew this one only rushing four right there. It’s the most frustrating thing to see.

Dobbs going to get a hail mary opportunity


Just sayin'

 

[camp_steveo]

Should have pressured Fields on that drive. Let him beat you.

 

[mpfvol]

If I was a coach on any level I am never ever playing prevent Defense ever it's Dumb AF

 

[calban]

Poor Josh

 

[Caz]

Poor Josh

Yep, Cinderella sighting is now over

 

[fear]

welp at least a couple of former vols got a dub. but poor dobbs man

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Dobbs missed the double move TD and had a few terrible throws but MN has to fix that OL. Doesn't matter who is at QB.

And playing prevent defense that last Bears drive was horrible.

 

[Tnphil]

looking like ut’s defense good lord

Thought the same thing watching it.

 

[SFBayVol]

Vikings got 3rd and Martinez'ed
Dobbs, man.. Dobbs... Poor dude needs to bounce back. Vikings coach needs to know he performs much better when rolling out of pocket
What an ugly game. 4 INTs + 2 Fumbles from 2 QB

 

[TNHopeful505]

The Passtronaut turned into "The Interceptional Space Station."

One of those wasn't his fault. But that was a rough game for him. Hard not to put that loss on his shoulders. You just can't turn the ball over like that.

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why Dobbs is a journeyman quarterback! He clearly can’t take of the ball against a mediocre defense and he will never be a true starter. Sad but true.

It's not sad. He's one of the best 100 people on earth at his job. Makes millions doing it. 99.999999% of this board is not in the top 100 of their job.

It is definitely sad if you were looking forward to Dobbs getting his chance to shine on the big stage. Emotions are relative to hopes and expectations

 

[Volfan1000]

Former Vols to watch:

Bears: Darnell Wright, Velus Jones
Viks: Dobbs, Ty Chandler, Theo Jackson

What a defensive battle this game turned out to be.

Then you just overestimated what he is. Which is a tier one backup. Good for him.

Damn: I was SO hoping Dobbs could consolidate his good play in the first couple of game and become an NFL starter. But it seems
a rough repeat of what happened in Arizona. As I recall, his first game as a starter there was pretty good, then he had a decent or better second game--but after that the team's offensive production gradually and steadily deteriorated until he got benched and then traded. One thing for sure: Any QB needs a solid running game to lean on .... I'm surprised Dobbs didn't run more tonight--his running was a big part of his success with the Vikes in the first couple of games. Today only 2 carries? He needs to run more than that.

 

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

Jefferson coming back will definitely help and so would better play calling that would utilize his legs. There were multiple times when I thought they should've let him run tonight. Pass rush was all over him and he made some very bad decisions. Hope he bounces back next week. The Bears D was tough tonight.

I started calling it the prevent-a-win defense back in Johnny Majors' days. Still holds today.

It works way more often than it doesn't. There's a reason it's still used all the time. We just remember more when it doesn't. Did you really think you were that much smarter than DC's and HC's for decades now? Not just one coach. But all of them? Bc they all run it at times

 

[BULLET VOL]

Game could have ended different if you try to get a first down when the Bears Fumble the ball and the Vikes recovered just a few yards from field goal range. Hand off up the middle no gain.hand off up the middle no gain. Pass that went for -3 yards. Punt that went for around 25. Should have called for the old Va Tech special. Send all receivers down field and let your qb tuck it and run. 2nd and 3rd down Dobbs gets you at least 8 yds.

 

[butchna]

As a Panther fan, I've watched a pretty deadful 1-10 team. With that said, the Bears have 3 wins. How???

Raiders, You and Washington. Last night was Minnesota playing too tight in an effort to make the playoffs.

[Zues1]

Three threads in the NFL forum discussing this game. And this one.

 

[orangemadam]

Can't say Josh didn't have his chances.

He just can't get the job done. Has flashes now and then but he won't make it as a starter.
