I'm not happy with what I'm seeing on offense....Defense has been olding it together until the end of the first half....but we need to step it up....with moore deactivated the rookie has a big load to carry

why was moore deactivated?

Like I have been saying all year. Our offense is garbage. We wont go anywhere with O like this. We can run decently and that's about it on O.

A Dub with the TD

Tarvaris did a decent job of consistently keeping the chains moving and giving the Vikings the field position advantage. I don't think we had any 3 and outs. Overall I was pleased with his performance, now he needs to take the next step and start making plays.

Congrats on the win. What is the latest on Taylor?

It wasn't garbage today, it was just conservative. We never really attempted to stretch the field, but we took good care of the ball and controlled the clock. The only pick was the result of a tipped ball and Deangelo Hall's freakish athleticism. Jackson made a couple mistakes in terms of throwing to the wrong shoulder of the receiver (the incompletion to Sidney Rice being the most obvious). Other than that, there were a couple drops when he placed the ball well, and he wasn't sacked once. We run the ball more than decently, too. We run very well. A 5.1 ypc is nothing to sneeze at. Our receivers showed some nice athleticism as well. Once Bevell becomes more comfortable calling plays, we might even see some attempts at big plays. Atlanta was an athletic D that provided a good litmus test for Tarvaris, and while he didn't light the place up, he did everything we asked him to. I'm a little more optimistic about this year after seeing the game today.

I really do love the Jackson and Peterson combination.
