*** Official Minnesota Game Thread ***

[The Duke]

Frost obvioulsy isn't confident in our running game today with all of these passing calls.

However, Martinez has been sailing nearly ALL of his throws, so the onus is on Frost:

Do you want to continue calling pass plays when your QB is struggling with his accuracy? OR

Try to commit to the running game and see if something hits?

 

[knapplc]

If the defense doesn't get a pick-six, I think this could be the game-killing drive for Minnesota.

 

[mnhusker]

Time to sit Martinez a bit, he is not good today. 

 

[lo country]

No offense to Levi Falck but why in the hell aren’t we putting Manning, Betts and Toure out there as receivers? At least give the impression that our receivers could take one to the house

Plus the size advantage of Betts and Manning.  I'd start running 2 TE's as well ....

 

[ladyhawke]

Sad 

 

[CheeseHusker]

A four year starting QB has to make that throw.

 

[Hagg]

Are we going to be 3 - 5?  Or 4 - 4?  Man oh man.

Defense is on the field-again. They’re going to get gassed out. Sad

Manning ran the route underneath Falck, no?

Missed that, thank you

I'm a run the damn ball guy.....Go with the I we have shown in the past.  Pound the ball.  Misdirection and some traps.....

 

[Hayseed]

Frost might as well go home if he’s gonna call the offense like that.

 

[Hagg]

Maybe we need to just dink and dunk instead of big or bust every time....

Honestly.

Manning was actually running the route underneath Falck there.  First time I actually noticed him in the game.  However agree with your point.  Not sure what they have against trying to let Manning make plays, because the flashes he's shown when given the chance is so full of potential

 

[Savage Husker]

And that deep pass to Falck was a semi rollout to get AM out of the pocket, he’s just not making the throw. 

 

[PaulCrewe]

That's an ACL
