Woo Hoo! It's Sunday! :party:

Oline depth is still bad.

Miller was tackled damn near immediately after getting the handoff.

For what it's worth.

I feel for Miller, not even Adrian Peterson in his prime could break away at the speed our guys let them in the backfield.

Pennings attempt at blocking on that stretch run nearly made me vomit.

Then the hand clap "dangit" they always do afterwards.

My biggest fear is that the OL will miss substantial games and our backups will continue playing like they did last night. There will be some players available at cut down but will they fit the system or be an upgrade to what we already have? I also wonder if we need to trade for a backup OL before the season starts?

I'll assure you that is the biggest fear for all teams. There isn't a team in the league that can lose two or three starters on the offensive line and not suffer a crippling blow to their offense. As someone put it today on NFL Radio, there aren't many backup offensive linemen that can replace a starter in the league today. It was brought up that if they had that ability they'd be a starter elsewhere. That doesn't mean there aren't some decent backups out there, but the vast majority are a huge step down from those 1st stringers they play behind.

This came from discussions of the shoddy performances in the games this week.
