I should have known better. I really thought that the Queens would be an above average team this year. They are horrible and worse than last year.

As a Packer fan, I love that the Vikings are absolute shit. Still surprised though.

They aren't worse than last year, they are just a bit off, but not worse than last year

Obviously I defer to your opinion. You are the only objective Viking fan that I know. BUT to me, Teddy seems worse. Peterson hasn't really made a difference in the running game. The defense as a whole seems to have taken a step back this year. Not sure about special teams. The times that I've watched them this year they seem worse. Below average team....

Teddy was 15-20 for 189 yards and a TD, with no running game and terrible pass blocking and menial receivers

They played a base defense in first quarter and got shredded, they changed and played much better in 2nd q

Plus you must have only watched the Niners game cause they dominated in the 3 wins and played decent in Denver

First and goal from the 2....

Another field goal.

They just aren't a contender. Maybe they'll sign some lineman and keep the tobacco chew from AP.

Nope. Still fat so I went out for a 3 mile run.

5 field goals after being down 17-3 to the LIONS? If you are ok with that then fine.

Vikings are not as good as I thought theyd be this year. They should trade peterson if they feel that Teddy is the QB of future. Maybe they can get the pieces in place. But they sign WRs like Wallace and waste them.

They will be lucky to get a wildcard. Maybe Vikings fans are ok with that?

Vikes 2nd in league in points allowed.....offensively challenged to be sure however...but young dynamic wr's with a young qb......o-line injuries don't help but certainly appear headed in right direction, esp if Bridgewater continues to progress

Well we don't have a guy like Rodgers to make it all happen. Mike Wallace simply isn't that good and they are about 3 offensive linemen short of being really good, anytime he has time he's accurate. Not happy about the wasted chances to blow them out, that sucks, this team is building, look at the pieces on defense that have been added, I don't know what you expected from them this year coming off last year? They were too many pieces away and when a team loses a starting center and right tackle it makes it very hard to replace. The offense is improving, they have built the defense, now they need to build the O line by either Getting healthy and drafting. The Packers were in this spot not long ago with bad line and injury problems on the line. Stefon Diggs is really stepping up at wf but look at the draft they had this year, their top 6 picks are making big contributions as rookies. Vikes special teams is top 5

Yes the defense is giving up only 17 per game. The Vikes are definitely in right direction, 4-2 not bad, losing to Sam Fran really sucks.

All good points.

I was expecting a solid defense with an explosive offence. I just haven't seen that. Adding a WR like Wallace and a RB like AP should have done more especially with another year of experience for Teddy.

I still think that they will take one from GB this year. They always play tough it seems. AP will probably go for 200 again.

:facepalm:

I think the center Sullivan should be back for that, their offense was good today but the goal line offense was just brutal. They can be more explosive with time
