No major league sport has consistent refs.

It's pretty bad in the NFL.

It's a catch 22. Play isn't dead until you hear the whistle blow. They seemed to make a bigger deal out of it after Bree's reaction.

It doesn't matter anymore I guess. It's looking like another L anyways.

The lack of running game is killing this team, the passing game obviously isnt good enough to make up for that. Offense still had their chances though, and kicked 3 field goals, unlike the Saints who scored 3 touchdowns. The Munnerlyn penalty certainly can be looked at as well.

It's amazing how we can't stop the run, especially when you know they're running

In some cases but I think he had Brees wrapped up pretty good, and its Brees not Vick or someone who's going to escape

didn't have a lot of hope going in, started out bad, got settled down, teddy comes in and we play well and come back and then it all unravels after that penalty

He broke multiple bones in his foot. Teddy is now the starter.

Good News;

Teddy looked poised. Made the best of a bad situation. Feel a lot better with him going forward then Cassel.

I like this coaching staff. Zimmer makes really good adjustments when it comes to the defense. With not a ton of talent and everybody banged up, Vikings still looked pretty good against both Brady and Brees for a majority of both games. Love to see what he can do with more talent.

Harrison Smith is awesome.

Bad News:

Kalil is bad. Like really really bad. I have no clue what happened to him, but when your an offensive lineman and you stand out that badly, it's not a good sign.

Our D line is really bad too. They can't get pressure and are being gashed by average running backs.

Offensive line. Yes they have been that bad. What was suppose to be a strength, looks like a disaster. The can't run or pass block. It wouldn't of made a difference is AP was there or not

Can't wait for Teddy. Hoping run D improves, and o-line seems like it should be so much better.

What's the deal with Scott Crichton, is he even getting snaps? I don't remember hearing his name called at all this season.
