Since Zimmer always preaches accountability, what are the chances Kalil sees some pine? I know we are thin at OL but how long does he have to play like hot garbage before we try something else?

Or at least hold WAS to a FG. I'd like to see the Vikings establish some sort of running game. 28 attempts is way too many.

- Ted is doing a nice job dealing with the pressure

- Ted is not throwing the ball well at all

- Greenway is playing badly. I would like to see them get Hodges back in there.

- Jennings is a leader

- Pass rush has been close, we need to get home and rattle Bob Griffin

- Xavier Rhodes will get his 1st career INT this half

Has he been that bad? Seems like BW is getting time to throw.

... better yet, force a turnover. :)

There were 7 rushes for Vikes RBs in the first half and 28 passing attempts by Bridgewater. Considering those numbers and MN having some wide open receivers, Norv must have seen something on film he thought they could exploit. That said, I don't think asking Teddy to throw 56 passes is going to be a winning strategy today. I hope they go to the run more in the second half.

I just posted the same thing. They've been too one-dimensional on offense so far today.

Bridgewater 1-for-7 targeting Patterson in first half, 16-for-21 to everyone else.

That says way more about Patterson than it does Teddy.

It may be a home game but it doesn't feel like one. Sure miss the metrodome feel

He hasn't been great but it's not just today. He seems to have taken a step back from last year - which is saying something!
