[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 968259, member: 17987"] I'm a big fan of LaFleur overall but I don't understand how two seasons running your team can come out looking so flat and unprepared. I can excuse some of it due to injuries and big shakeups all around the offense; it's a bit more egregious when it comes to the defense though. Not like Justin Jefferson was some unknown commodity. We've known for months we'd be facing him and obviously the Vikings would be making it a point to get him the ball. And to be fair he is perhaps the best WR in the game, so I can't really expect him to be totally neutralized, but still...I could forgive it if we sold out to shut down Jefferson and in turn someone like Thielen ended up having a monster game, or Cook or whoever, but really that wasn't the case and we seemed more or less content to allow Jefferson to do as he pleased (and Cook had a pretty decent game on top of that). That said I'm not particularly panicked just yet. For a large part of the game I didn't think we were playing particularly poorly (not particularly well, either, granted) and had ourselves a few inches away from being down 14-17 at half at worst. Truthfully, I suspect if Watson hauls in that catch it changes the whole complexion of the game. That was a real gut-punch for momentum, too, IMO. So I don't know. Nothing too much to get particularly excited for, to be sure, but not too worried yet either. [/QUOTE]
