Okay guys. Like the title says, we have given up 14 sacks and only scored 13 points against the Packers and Lions. The sacks have killed multiple drives in the last two games and the oline has also been getting stupid penaltys that have halted drives. We are going to have to seriously add some players in the draft and free agency if we want to score points and keep teddy safe.

almost the entire offensive line needs to be replaced, Jennings and Asiata need to go too

This O-line play is costing the Vikings the games. Plain and simple. Any QB needs more than 2 seconds to pass the ball. The fact that Bridgewater did as well as he did is more testament to him than the O-line. I can't imagine what he could do if he had 4-5 seconds to pass the ball. And the tipped balls for interception? Those are charged to the BW but are on the WR's.

Gotta agree. The line has been terrible all year, and against a top flight Defense they got thoroughly exposed.

But Profootballtalk gives them all good grades!
Seriously the OL is the worst i have ever seen. They haven't beed even decent in years. Maybe Zimmer should start the backups.

That tells you more about profootballtalk than it does the Vikings line.

I'm not opposed to that idea. Let's see what somebody else has to offer because we are just physically weak at the point of attack and not able to match up, especially with a line line Detroit brings to the field.

Unbelievable. Definitely grounds for banishment. We don't need that here. Bye-Bye

You are all correct. tarken10 has been :ban:

However, in the future, when you see a blatantly racist post that's obviously going to get someone banned, please don't quote it in your replies! It will save me some editing. Thanks!

Lol sorry Jim, in hindsight that prolly wasn't a post worth quoting.

No problem. I just thought it was funny that 3 different people quoted it!

Thanks for flagging that nonsense. I almost banned him a little while ago. I sensed something like that might be coming.
