What one area would you like to see improvement from the Bills game to the Vikes game?


I would like to see improvement on 20+ pass plays.

I want to see that Henne to Marshall combo we've been wanting to see since we got him.  I want Marshall to have 10 catches for like 150 and 2 TDs.

Its Brett Favre (and he looked a little rusty last week), so I would like to see some interceptions and some solid return yards after the pick.

However, I would not take it at the expense of good run defense against Peterson.

On third downs they need to throw the ball PAST the first down marker, not making the receiver try to go 3 yds with a defender all over him.

Come out throwing the ball long on the first possession, and throughout the first half.

I would like to see our DB's hold onto footballs thrown to them, because Favre sure loves his INT's.

The Vikes aren't as good right now as they were last year, but they are still very good, so every dropped INT will cost us.

As several others have said, throwing the ball down field.  The only way Henne is going to improve those throws is to keep trying them.  I was disappointed they did not go back to Marshall after he dropped the one.

Well let's not get crazy. Smiley

All I want is that you take what the defense gives you.  On Sunday the Bills DB's were challenging the recievers short.  I saw an out play where the DB bit hard on the route and was able to knock the ball away.  When that happens you know the DB's are playing tight coverage and that's when you need to say "Let's run that again with a double move and see if we can't beat him over the top."  That's not rocket science, that's coaching 101.  If you have confidence in your QB, receivers and line that's what you do and I don't care if it's Buffalo or the Saints, that's what you do.  Not trying it tells me you don't have confidence in somebody.  I'm not saying it's the QB, it could be the reciever, it could be the line, but you don't have confidence in somebody to make the play and the DB's know it and that makes their job easier.

I want our passing game to be so improved that Tepop shows up next week with a tattoo of Chad Henne on his arm that reads "I <heart> Henne."

Hey...it could happen. Wink

I want to see Henne torch the secondary, but I also wanna see Favre on his ass all game.  While the pass rush did well against Buffalo, I wanna see that continue against a far better o-line with a far better RB toting the rock.

LOL


I too would like o see some more attempts down the field.

This drives me batshit crazy as well.

I'd like to see more improvement on the O-line.  They relatively okay against Buffalo, but it's going to be a MUCH harder test against Jared Allen and the rest of the Vikings D.  I want to see better pass protection and holes being opened up in the running game.  If your O-line is functioning well, then everything you want to do on offense should be easier.
