This is what's winding me up, same as last week. We got hardly any pressure on the QB in that first half.
This "monster" front 7 getting NO pressure on the QB at all. This is not just on the O-line, the defence just hasn't got it done.....again. This is my Vikings that I love . :rock:

I think Zimmer could find better offensive linemen off the street. Better start looking cause these guys can't block at all.

Let's hope for one those legendary MIke Zimmer halftime adjustments.
Yes. Has on OC ever been fired at halftime?

Good point. No pressure... the blitzes are not working, and we've given up several big plays to that running back. Defense has not been good, either.

Tony Sparano needs to be fired. This O-line is a complete joke. If you can't gain 3 yds on four consecutive plays, you have a big problem.

As I've referred to it "The Vikings post halftime smackdown"

Fingers crossed

This game is hinging on three big plays that Chicago made. We need to make a couple of these to catch up.

Other than his 69 yard run, Howard is averaging 2.8 yards per run.

When the line was pass blocking better I felt that Bradford won games that Teddy wouldn't have. With the line playing how it is now, I feel like Teddy would be making more plays for us than Bradford currently is.

Ponders offenses weren't even this bad.

He had a long catch and run, too

Maybe his mobility would help but it's a moot point since he isn't available.

Maybe it's a good thing I'm stuck at work. Probably can catch the end of the game, assuming it is a game.
