[QUOTE="GolfingIllini, post: 1485713, member: 652077"] I would argue ALL OF THE ABOVE. The O-Line did an acceptable job with pass protection but the Minnesota defense came ready to stop the run and our guys couldn't open holes. They killed us at the line of scrimmage. Peters made some terrible throws. I mean,... on occasion he misses his receivers by 3-5 yards from 15 yards away. That won't work. And our receivers had the usual complement of drops. Ricky Smalling was a disaster area today! Three drops, although one was on a penalty and didn't matter. Minnesota is just clearly a lot better than us across the board. I'm not sure if our scheme was bad,... when your passing game stinks it makes it easy to defend the run. If there are offensive coaching problems,... maybe it's just a failure to get the QB and receivers synced up in practice. Peters does not make quick decisions, and he can't fire the ball into tight areas. And he plays to avoid interceptions so he is tentative,... he needs his wide receivers to be very wide open before he'll throw it to them. ??? I'm going to shut up now,... [/QUOTE]
