I agree CJ has been taking too many bad hits. But yesterday, the only 2 really bad hits he took (the late slide and sideline flip) were on CJ. He was protected a little better and didn't take any bad hits in the pocket.
I love CJ's toughness and willingness to sacrifice his body for the yards.
The offense was still below average, but they moved the ball, just not in the redzone.
We were a few bad red zone plays, bad playcalls (again), and a large big toe from winning by 2-3 scores.
A loooonggg ways to go to improve the offense, no doubt(especially passing game). But there was improvement from the previous 2 weeks, against a decent defense.
That is all reasonable. I do disagree about CJ. What he is going through is not normal football qb. Some is on him. A lot is on KF. People his age have no real concept of long term consequences. I just wish someone would be the adult and change things or get him out. I love football, but that is so hard to watch.
I agree that one team (Iowa) was better and coulda shoulda won by more. Surprised MN was so inept on the O given how much trouble they gave the Hawks last year given the skill players were all back.
