I don't pretend to know a lot about football. I sure don't presume to tell any coach how to prepare for his opponent. But... I watched the Redskins win a big game against the Cowboys last week by blitzing over & over. I figured that strategy would work even better against the Vikings this week with their rookie QB. But from what I saw on the Redzone, the Redskins never blitzed. Ever. Bridgewater had tons of time to hit plenty of wide open WR's and the Redskin's lost.
It's inexplicable things like this that make me question the credibility of the NFL. It seems unlikely that the Commisioner would tell teams, 'Hey, we're trying to promote this kid for the good of the league so plan accordingly'. But why wouldn't a team bring the heat against the rookie?
I didn't see the whole game so if anyone has more info on this please share.
