Yep. Bradford is proof that the minutiae of the QB position are actually of primary importance. He's not the first to prove it either. All the arm talent and "accuracy" in the world can't account for the total inability to make a play when things break down. this is the NFL and much of the time plays are going to break down. With a dud like Bradford, the season is over before it starts, especially with a weak OL like we've had the last few years.

Says the fan from the more dysfunctional team than the Vikings. Relatively speaking of course.

Yea, but according to the on field play he makes significantly more plays then Bridgewater.

I think we are dysfunctional in a good number of ways, but we would have a significantly better record wise if our 4th cb (Who just got injured) wasnt playing at the top of the depth chart.

But at any rate, that is the point, your season cant be over because your division rivals all suck to a similar level.

Look i know things are pretty tense around here, but the Packers today? That was the hindenburg of football games.

Things could always be worse.

You're right. But after today, are there any teams on the schedule this current Vikings team can still beat?

Disappointment of the day for me: our defense.

When we don't get pressure, we are not nearly as effective in coverage. Washington's OL made me very envious today. We are so very far away from that level of play from our OL. Their kicker made me envious too. :(

Good question. I suspect there's some team on the schedule that can help the Vikes get to 6 wins. I'm not sure if there are enough to get them to 8 or 9 though.

We'll see. Sometimes a team goes through a losing streak like this and then bounces back from it with a 3 or 4 game winning streak.

Ok, I'm not all doom and gloom. Yes we lost, and yes it sucks. But at least they weren't blown out. They didn't quit when down by 14. They didn't quit at the end. So, that's two games in a row they lost in the last 5 minutes. One or two plays go another way and they are 7-2. For as bad as the O-line has been, it appeared today that at least they are addressing getting the QB more time to throw.

That being said, the o-line sucks. The only reason we are even in the running for the Division title is that our division currently sucks.

I would rather have our problems than the Packers.

Yea, the Packers for one, obviously I hope not but if we played tommorow you likely would win.
