Well I don't see Beasley running too many of his slants as much. I think Washington really wanted to win and defense stepped up, Minny has a great defense so could be just who we played.

I do think players do get a tad complacent as well towards end of year, that is up to the coaches to keep that in check.
I agree that some of the "issues" with Dak related to the quality of the competition being faced. But just as importantly, IMO, is that our guys were just tired after the stretch of games they just endured (both in the games being bunched up and in the quality of opponents. It's very tough to come out of that stretch without a loss, but they did it. Let's hope the extra few days between games refreshes them some.

I believe that teams have figured out some of our favorite things to do with Dak and some of his tendencies. I think teams have figured out that 4 doesn't attack the middle of the field and likes to stick to the boundaries. I have also seen the boot leg action we like to use not be as effective lately. I do think the effectiveness of the boot leg has been limited because of the talented defenses we have been facing. This aspect of the offense should improve IMO.

Teams have adjusted to him. Kaepernick lit the world on fire for about a year

This statement makes no sense.

Dak's worst game other than the season opener was against Philly in week 7 when he had a 79.8 rating, a pick, two sacks, 19/39 and only 1 TD. Since then, he has been over 100 rating every game. Well over 100 in most cases.

So if teams have adjusted, they are doing a horrible job of it.

He hasn't thrown for 200 yards in either game. He has the best pass protection I've seen in the NFL for about a decade. Yeah I'm worried

QB rating is overrated, when you
Throw 2 yard completions and 0 interceptions. It gets inflated

Yeah, I would not be surprised to see the bootleg go away for a few weeks. Teams are keying/spying on that. We need that as an option in the playoffs so we need to take that off the table for a while.

That has more to do with the number of attempts and play calling than Dak. And you know it.

Good God!!! There seem to be a ton of trolls in this thread. More than usual. Not pointing the figure at anyone in particular. But Holy Smokes!!!

Rating doesn't account for fumbles and other things like holding the ball too long and missing open receivers.

Just better defenses and 3 games in 12 days. If he doesn't play well versus the Giants then we can reconsider.

Last 2 games - 60 dropbacks - 29 completions and 14 runs -48.3% completions on dropbacks

First 10 games - 363 dropbacks - 214 completions and 33 runs- 58.9% completions on dropbacks

The Vikings have one of the best secondaries in the game. If you judged Zeke by the Ravens game it would throw his stats off also.
