I think the defense is overachieving and the offense is underachieving. Even with CMC out, Bridgewater was missing reads. On third down he thew to Curtis Samuel deep when he had DJ Moore wide open on a cross. Maybe it was by design but sh*t like that hurt when you're not converting 3rd or 4th downs at all.
