Can someone tell me what is the big deal with this defense? They look pedestrian against this juggernaut bears offense....and while your at it...explain to me how Sam Bradford is still in this league? My 14 year olds legs are bigger than his

Exposed vs Eagles? Shell shocked still after 1st loss? Not sure, but it was a matter of time before their injuries caught up with them. That D can only hold up and cover the losses up so long

When you get no help from your offense you will eventually give in more times than not.

So many hopped on the bandwagon early. This is a an average team that got off to a fast start because their defense,was ahead of opponents offense. They traded alot ofvpicks for Bradford and this will set the franchise back years. I see no talent on offense. The packers young talent offense and defense is far superior which you witnessed the birth against Atlanta.

Just throwing out possibilities.....9/10 times they beat this Bears team. This was just a bad spot for them tonight

I see.but the Eagles score 7 points on.kick return and defense was out on filed doll long against the eagles, they had created 3 turn overs on d in first quarter against them. oh well they are reeling

If they reach nfc championship this year it's a 3rd round and a 2nd if they reach super bowl all for an average qb with 2 acl surgeries. I guess its not to bad of a setback cause i don't see neither of those situations happening.

that's what I'm seeing, Vikings fans are in denial. That offensive line is a joke with no.help in sight, that was my knock on this year's draft.... no offensive linemen early and they knew it was a problem.. they drafted Treadwell and Alexander in first two rounds and neither see the field. they could have had OL Whitehair in either round and passed, Bears got him and he starts. Both tackles suck, the center is average, right guard sucks and the left guard well he's good.but he left the field last night, any super bowl hopes are gone.

Brandon Fusco (minny center) is a slippery rock grad...I spent 2 years there....friendly kid. I only spoke with him twice....but he didn't look like most of the specimens you see on sundays....Doesn't mean anything.... just an observation....but in purple uniform he's been pretty solid so far....he dominated the d-2 level but I wouldn't of guessed he would find success at this level...his college film is pretty impressive regardless the level of play and kudos to Vikings for seeing it....he was great at senior bowl/week...that's what got him drafted

But yes, how they took Treadwell when they already had cordarelle/diggs/Johnson who were similar products shocked me...they need a QB to have time in pocket and they failed to realize that it isn't necessarily that they lacked playmakers but rather a line to protect the QB who didn't have time to get the ball into the playmaker hands nearly often or early enough...such a waste having AP spend his whole career there....if manning or farve or Brady had AP, he would've ran for 2X the career yds not facing 8 in the box almost 90% of his snaps

Fusco has been at right guard he played left guard last year and was dominated, he gets pushed around constantly

You cannot honestly defend that trade. If you could have the picks back, I'm sure you'd take em and throw Bradford to the curb. Is there really a difference between Bradford and Hill at this point?

Why'd they move him from center? His first few years he paved the way for AP

I never would have guessed by looking at him that he was NFL talent....looks like a regular farm boy
