Embarrassing effort all around by the Vikings. Losing Smith & Barr in the first quarter hurt big time but the whole team laid a big stinker for the whole game.

That was a beat down by the Seahawks who abused every weakness the Vikings had. I don't have high hopes for Thursday nights game but I will watch it from the comfort of my own home, rather than out in public.

That being said the Vikings are WELL AHEAD of my expectations of this season.

I'm a closet fan, since my son is a huge VIkings fan. I like the direction. The defense is really close to being dominant. Harrison Smith might be the most underrated player in the NFL.

I'd like to see a little more fire from Bridgewater. He's not very intense and just a little too cool for my taste.

And, they need to get some receivers. Diggs is a keeper but beyond him they are awful. Wright is an ok option as a 4th or 5th guy. Patterson is nothing more than a returner now and his celebration yesterday was shameful. The Vikings are OL/WR as much as possible in the upcoming draft I think.

49ers/Bengals flexed out of the Dec 20th SNF.

Instead, Cardinals/Eagles will be in the prime time game.

If they rule Jackson down by contract, he's the luckiest man on earth.

This game ended up being pretty good after a pretty horrendous start.

Can't wait to see what the spread for the Seahawks vs NFC East champ first round playoff matchup will be. 10? 12? Whatever it is, take my money!

I agree with you 100%. Bridgewater has been playing scared all year and that's because he's facing the most pressures of any QB in the league this year.

The Vikings biggest area of need is OL/WR/SS. They need someone to play with Harrison Smith who isn't a total liability.

So after seeing the field only 14 times against NE Demarco has spoken to the owner ostensibly voicing his dislike for how he's being used. I believe he's still a great RB, think the team may move on from him in the offseason via trade? I'd sure love to see him lined up with Brock.

Do the Broncos have any players with multiple knee surgeries? Chip likes them type of players.

Just broken down old man Ware. I'd happily swap DT for DeMarco though.
