I think the main thing that frustrates me is things that are obvious going into a game seemed to be ignored and that adjustments aren't made timely during the game.

Going into the Minnesota game, everyone knew they wanted to run behind the big line then hit slants off of it. If I am Pry and Spencer the first adjustment to the game plan for the week is to tell the line to get hands up and look to get some batted balls or tips. Our DE's like to take giant loops which open up the pass lane to hit slants. Why not adjust and work on stunting with a goal of tipped balls vs. sacks given the Minnesota tendencies especially with a bye week to prepare.

Our D-Line failed to get home all game so is it asking to much to adjust at half?

I am not one to quickly call for coaches heads but Pry is the coordinator. I think he missed badly in preparation for this game. He also needs to address the secondary philosophy. The synergy and communication between the DB's and Safeties is terrible. It looks like they don't trust the other to be where they are supposed to be half of the time. TCF and Reid look lost. I find it hard to believe that they forgot how to play this season.
