We had the ball for 38 minutes and our offense scored 6 points? Holy fug

Oh good grief.

The bigger problem with that was the Vikings new exactly what was coming. Just like the screen to marshall that BY immediately threw a tantrum about after throwing it.

Saying it wasn't all negative is true, but many of us were sold on a #1 pick that was a dynamic playmaker. At best, he's been a conservative caretaker (and not a particularly great one at that).

And that has a lot to do with Reich

I wholeheartedly believe this coaching staff is coddling him, for whatever reason.

Biggest surprise with the TOP is how ineffective the run game was

We don’t just have 1 problem

Bryce is limited.  Talent wise in the NFL. 

Frank runs a horrible offense 

and there are no studs on the roster that have the talent to overcome that marriage and just make something special happen out of nothing.

Let's not forget he threw what absolutely should've been a pick six a few plays before this happened if we're viewing the full scope of whataboutism.

Was that the same series where Thomas and Chark dropped TDs? If so then that play should have never happened. If we are playing whataboutisms of course. 

We had a lot of pass catchers just drop to the ground after they made their catches too. This west coast offense needs YAC to thrive.

Like drafting Stroud or Richardson?

I mean he threw a TD pass that Ian dirt bike Thomas tried to catch with his helmet.

If Thomas catches that ball (I know, a major feat for him) the story is a little different.

Which reminds me…why wasn’t that route for Hurst? I’m over Thomas being forced into a role he hasn’t shown to be good at. 
 

Hurst is no Olsen, but he catches that ball.

Actually, yes - it was. I remember because they flipped the field from the section I was in right before the 3rd down play that should have been picked. If Thomas catches that ball, then the "pick 6" never happens.

 

You can see it here too at the start of Q2:

To be fair they scored 12 points.
