Well....

[halfgiz]

Where do we go from here?
Me I would like to see Edwards start calling Defense.
Offense needs better game plan. Kubs and Stef can't figure something out or is Zimmer have say?

Gaints isn't going to be an easy road game.

Same issues same pattern

OLine terrible

Cousins fumbles and wilts under pressure. Didn’t take advantage of a few opportunities he had with little pressure

Defense couldn’t get off the field against one of the worst Offenses in the nfl with their 2nd string qb. 2 offensive possessions in the first half? Seriously? I know the zimmer lovers will point to only 13 points given up blah blah blah. First drive 8.5 minutes and a TD. Couldn’t get off the field in the first half especially. And this was against a terrible O. Pretty good is not good enough when we’ve invested as much $$ and high draft picks in this D!

Zimmer is #### and Cousins is awful.

I’m 45 and have been a fan since I was 10-12 years old. It’s family thing. I grew up watching the Vikes at Sunday dinner at my Grandma’s house, during and after dinner with my entire extended family. My earliest memories are AC, DJ Dozer, Millard, jordan, Kramer, Wilson, etc....

As of today, I’m swearing them off till they have a new QB and head coach. This has to stop. I don’t know what’s next, but I do know that the leadership and team as it’s constructed now will NEVER win us a trophy, and it’s too painful for me to watch.

Sad to say it, but I quit. I’ll be back when things change, but for now I’m checking out.

That was a pitiful performance. Out prepared, out coached, out played on both sides of the ball. Hard to know where to start with detailing the shortcomings of a performance like that. The Bears where missing 3 defensive starters and there starting QB and they still made the Vikings look like D II school.

That's a little much and and a bit overreacting, but I suppose I can try understand though.

I didn't watch a snap as i was harvesting corn, but listening to the game on KFAN. After the first series of the 3rd quarter, it seemed that Paul Allen had basically given up on a Viking comeback.He was right in his assessment,as he mentioned that he could not remember ever only having two possessions in the entire first half.

[Mothman]

I was at the game and it was brutal. If you saw it, you know.

This team needs a change in leadership.

The Bears were the better team today and may be the better team period. Awesome defense. On offense Chase Daniel got the ball out quickly and accurately. Can't lay a ton of blame on Viking defense today. Yes, I know that they allowed some clock chewing drives, but I saw that as more credit to the Bears offense than a discredit to the Vikings D. This was the sort of game where you NEED a winning QB to make things happen. Make the game competitive. Coming out in the second half and coughing up the ball on the fist play is the opposite of that. I made posts in the Cousins & Keenum thread explaining why I wholeheartedly feel why Cousins will never be that man. I still see this team as a playoff team though.

[VikingPaul73]

just looked at their remaining schedule. I change from 7-9 or 8-8......this is a 5 or 6 win team.

Hopefully 5-11 will be enough for Ziggy to make some changes.

[Raz]

Why can't we make defensive adjustments on the fly seems like the get pushed around and give up long scoring drives in the first half then make adjustment at half then play better.

Cousins looks broken he has lost confedince in himself he can't make a read he needs a shrink, an adjustment or to go on a three day bender to clear his mind he is not even playing at a back up qb level.

Have you looked at the schedule I don't see this team making the playoffs theyll be lucky to win 6 a lot of nite games coming up and we no how they go.

I didn't see the game so not sure this is 100 percent accurate -

We knew after the Packers and Bears road game, we would find out what type of team this was.

A terrible road team that has one game plan. If the run game fails, they have no plan B. The no huddle offense was entirely on Cousins, he called the protection, he set where the receivers and rbs lined up. That was the only thing that worked.

Next time Bears and Vikings meet, Riley Reiff better hope Khalil Mack gets sick or injured. Even with help, he still can't handle Mack.
