Seriously? I swear I have seen illegal touching this year? Learn something new every day.

I'll tell you what I already knew. Do not ever get your hopes up following this team.

Sorry its just loss of down now.

I don't buy that. If the defensive linemen stay in their rush lanes and contain and the Vikes keep a LB in to spy the guy, mobile or not, he doesn't do what he's been able to do.

90% of the back breaking mistakes are being made by the O-line, when you're starting so many 2nd and 3rd stringers who cannot master basic technique I think it's a lot to ask of the coaches to emphasize sound technique. Outside of Thielen's fumble there is nothing remotely surprising about this game to me. The defense has to play a perfect game and the O has to play error free, which is impossible without a line.

As I always say, maybe the year after next.

Can you give me an example in the League of a less mobile QB than Bradford?

How did the game clock go from being 1 second behind the play clock (AKA they have to run a play before the 2 minute warning) to the game clock being ahead of the play clock (AKA vikes need to take a timeout) after the challenge?

Illegal hands to the face by dallas on the fumble. On the only vikingnear the ball.

Worst special teams game of the season for the Vikings.

They're exceptionally good, and they're absolutely ferocious when they can play with the lead. The problem is they never do. This offense puts the defense in untenable positions possession after possession.

Give this team just an average offense, and the defense is 5-7 ppg better.

The offense is awful, but that doesn't absolve the defense of giving up those huge plays. I agree they have some talent and play well most of the time, but they've also made their share of unforced errors.

There we go. Just let the DE run free. At least Bradford knows what to expect then.

Let's go Vikes!!!

Bradford looked like Russell Wilson on that last play. Where the #### has that been?!

If we had Teddy, I'd believe we'd get a TD here. For some reason, I feel like Bradford is more likely to throw an INT. (Obviously his stats say otherwise... just gut feeling).
