Damnit, it's always Maverick's fault! *shakes fist*

Tom Cruise IS the scapegoat. For all the money Danny's giving to him to finance his movies, there's absolutely no reason he shouldn't be able to put on a uniform and enter the game as a decoy. I guarantee you if Cruise put on a Redskins uniform and entered the game, the Vikings would've been so distracted we could've thrown as many touchdowns as we wanted to.

What I'd like to know is which one is wingman? Snyder or Cruise?

I blame monday night's loss on one thing and one thing only. Ineffectiveness in the red zone. You cant go into the redzone and come away with 1 td and 3 fgs and expect to win. With a 700 page playbook there has got to be better plays for use in the redzone.

I agree, but that isn't the only thing that lost the game for us. The offense is going to improve barring any major injuries. We have to cover better on defense, and we have to play better special teams.

frost may have gotten AVERAGE distsance, but his hang time and kickoffs still aren't any good.

this is a nice weekly feature though.

i think if we try hard enough we can blame bill clinton for this loss. seems as though its his fault for just about everything else:)

there you go again. dmek makes a post and outlaw laughs again. its a conspiracy if you ask me...damn that bill clinton

Great post, Matty.

I think the tendancy for a lot of fans to pin all the blame on the QB, punter and kicker is because those positions show weakness on a very individual level. Someone who knows very little about football and sees their offense not scoring much immediatly pins it on the QB because well, he touches the ball every play, so it must be his fault, right?

Same with the punter and kicker - if a kicker misses, no matter how long the kick and despite the fact that he never should have been placed in the situation, it's his fault we lost the game.

Like Matty alluded to, those three guys are the "obvious" and easy scapegoats for Joe Blow fan who doesn't know any better.

Identifying weaknesses in blocking, line performance, etc. is beyond the realm of your average fan, so instead they scream for Mark Brunell's head when things don't go right.
