He basically said the wheels are def coming off of the Vikes this season. The Vikes have committed one turnover this season and have yet to allow an opponent to score over 17 points. The Vikes are on pace for just over 3 turnovers for the season. He said in the same situations Brady has lost one game his entire career with no turnovers and the defense allowing 17 or less. He named off a ton of scrub QBs over the last several years and the record was some crazy 86-6 record. The Vikes OT situation is a lot like the Dolphins when we played them. Once they play from behind and don't win the turnover battle at an unsustainable rate they'll have serious problems. Will be interesting to see if he's right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschool Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 11 sacks in two games after only giving up 8 the previous 5. If they don't correct the pass protection they are in danger of falling off a cliff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't run the ball or protect the passer best of luck to you. Now their defense is playing too many snaps getting worn down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizzyeddie Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 looked like the gave up much like Jax. They are obviously not capable of playing any kind of hurry up offense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Talked to a Vikes fan today. He said the loss was embarrassing, but also that he feels their OL is one of the worst in the league, and it's killing the whole team. I only watched highlights of the game, but Bradford was hearing footsteps. He was ducking while the pocket was clean in some cases, because he expects to get hit. The Vikes fan said he thinks it's pretty rare that he gets 2 seconds to throw, and the interior is just as bad as the tackles, which means he can't step into his throws. It's leading to a lot of bad passes. If they don't get this fixed, they may not even make the playoffs, which is crazy. Didn't the Vikes have a huge collapse a few years back? Like one all or most of the first 8, and the lost the rest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaltitan Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The Vikings weaknesses really showed last night. They can't run the ball. Can't block. They have to beat teams 17-14, 13-10. They look like a team that will struggle if they have to play from behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmer wishes he could have Lewan and Conk. The interior guys got destroyed. On the ground multiple times. OT were terrible too. Who here liked TJ Clemmings? He was routinely getting destroyed.

Alcibiades Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Almost any team in the league would love to have our OTs....or our whole OL, even. But yeah, the Vikes are in big trouble because you just can't do anything if your OL is downright awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
