3rd most expensive... although a lot of that money is on IR now.

A win for this offense is now getting 2 first downs to give the defense a little break so that they can score on a pick 6 or fumble recovery.

The Eagles showed if you jump those routes the line will not be able to give Sam the time to let longer routes develop, that and they simply cannot run the ball. Nothing about this is surprising to me after last week.

What is surprising is the porous defense, what happened to them?

That happens when you give an NFL QB all the time in the world to throw.

Yeah we have problems. I'd say we might still make playoffs but it will be the wildcard. No way we still win the north like this. We have no offensive line and nothing to fix it with. We have $490,000 in cap space and nothing to trade. We are basically stuck with the line we have now. Not to mention the way Bradford is getting hit and his history with injuries every time he gets hit I cringe. The offensive line should be are only priority in the offseason. I still live my Vikings, but this is hard to watch.
