Sadly if Teddy doesn't get better next year, they'll still stink

The fact they gave up a #1 for Bradford looked horrific at the time. Then they started out the season great and people were applauding the move of course. Now, it looks pretty horrible again of course. It's going to set up Philly pretty nice next draft ****** all.

Not a fan of Bradford, but I'm guessing a healthy Adrian Peterson would have helped their offense an unspeakable amount.

All that talk and bravado from the vikings, the media and their fans all summer and September and look at this team.

Broaddus acted like they were the 85 bears or something.

Mike Zimmer hasn't been on the sideline of a playoff win since 1996, yet bob sturm and others were on twitter in august saying Dallas made a mistake not hiring him and keeping Garrett.

Ridiculous.

The Vikes lost, what, 4 starting OLs, a couple backup OTs, their starting QB, and Adrian Peterson? They weren't overrated. They just got hit by too many injuries and couldn't overcome them. If they've got room to address the OL, they'll be back to contending in the North and the postseason again next year.

Sam misses a pretty easy throw for 6...most QB's in the league make that throw. Then on 3rd down Matthews easily bats his pass down. Sigh.

Every team has issues. Not a single team is sitting here today with it exactly how they drew it up in the spring, Nobody.

Zimmer ran off the offensive coordinator halfway through the season. They gave away their first round draft pick.

I understand they are better when healthy but who isn't? My point was that guys like sturm and broaddus made it out that zimmers style of coaching is the right way and he is a tougher better coach and a real guy in charge. They created a scenario where they said he could handle everything. Not only did the organization not handle the injuries but a long time coach and coordinator quit and they are not making the playoffs.

Eagles have way too many holes, so that pick is not going to solve all the problems on offense.
