Really? You have to show another team embarrassing the vikings? This game isn't bad enough? Showing highlights from another era of the vikings getting destroyed... Sheesh. Enough already!

Was thinking the same thing. Thought they'd be out of salt by now.

I know Greg Jennings is pissed. He didn't even get a chance to really contribute tonight, despite all the times he got open

Because I was born and raised in Minnesota and like NFL football. And I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. I keep thinking that when they finally win it all it will be that much sweeter. Then I wake up and realize that I'm in my 30s now so will most likely not live long enough to see the them win a SB.

funny to see people argue about which facet of the team is the one to blame. there isn't one part of the vikings game that's earning their keep, except for maybe the kick/punt return squads. the coaching has been bad, effort has been bad. it's all there. bottom line is, last year's results were the doings of an incredibly talented player who carried a team on his back like i've never seen before. this team is not getting that same output from AP (not his fault) and they've regressed in almost every facet of the game.

there is a lot of work to do and it won't be done quickly or easily. we're just going to have to suck it up and hope that maybe better days are ahead.

We really needed a drubbing. Losing by 13 isn't going to be enough.

Now nobody will get fired.

Maybe he should switch to fullback.

So it's totally all about dedication. The Super Bowl win will come.

Well, other than running his mouth leading up to the game, he did get in Gerhart's way on his TD run. Other than that, he caught one pass for 9 yards. What a bust.

They better do something at deadline...... if not they are either dumb or just want to keep losing for years to come, you have to start thinking about next year and beyond. Get rid of kwill, jared allen and Greenway its time!!!!!!!!!

anyone looking for wholeseason changes, and quickly, is going to be disappointing. some guys may be traded, but at this point of the season, the team/stuff won't be gutted IMO

Actually that works out pretty well. The Vikings are about the worst team in the NFC now. And I hate saying that...
I've told people a million times not to exaggerate!
