So will Bridgewater ever throw the ball down the field?

If we dink and dunk on the cowboys Sunday night, it's gonna look like the nightmare of a night Drew had last year.

They are gonna take Kamara out of the game. That's happening. They will also double Thomas.

So can we get the ball deep to Ginn or can Cook finally make an appearance this year? Those are the two players who will need to make a solid impact for us to have any chance at beating the cowboys.

Last year it was helmet to helmet that wasn't called that took him out. I hope he takes that personally

There's a big difference between the game plan the coaches came up with for a wet road game in Seattle with a QB who hadn't played a meaningful game in 3 years versus the one I think we'll see at home with a QB who played decent and got his first win in a very long time. Will he go deep? Hide and watch...

Re: So will Bridgewater ever throw the ball down the field?

I'm starting to see Bridgewater slowly, albeit very slowly, grow confidence in his passing. I really wish this game was in like 2 weeks, cause I think Teddy will be much better in a game or 2. He's going to need to throw the ball up field on dallas, cause they have too much lateral speed. With the way our offense is built, the cowboys defense is probably our kryptonite. I think the Bears have a better defense overall, but I think we'd fair better against them than Dallas. Still I think we can beat Dallas(it'd be much easier if we had Brees, but we can do it with Bridgewater). Our defense will have to have its A game, and Teddy is going to have to let some throws fly up-field. We are probably going to have to stretch the field over the top to open up the running game. A couple of really good throws over the top can change the entire game and how their defense approaches us. We can then start to run and take the advantage of play-action. They are the one team that our normal offensive strategy will not work on.

When Payton gives him the go ahead to throw it down field he'll go deep. Until then probably not.

Well if it doesn't happen Sunday, we are most certainly going to lose this game.

“Getting permission”, “slowly getting confidence”, “getting his own game plan”, “getting used to playing with starters”

Can we knock it off? $10M highest paid backup doesn’t need any of the white glove treatment. We acting like the guy’s just learning to throw a spiral.

Did Gardner Mischew get any of this? Or the Jones kid on the Giants? No. It’s football. You don’t need permission to throw a deep pass, just a pair of nuts and Mike Thomas
