Looking at their schedule, I think 11-5 is very attainable. But it won't get any better than that until they fix this truly "offensive" offense. The defense cannot do everything by themselves; all these three and outs are killing them.

I said this weeks ago and you got upset. The Vikes are far from a great team and everyone knows it. The line is horrible, the WR are playing mediocre, they have no running game and now other teams know how to play against this defense.

Why don't the best Athletes play the whole game 

I played both defense & offense in high school - lots do

But in pros u have to be a specialist ? ? ? 

Do college players ever play both ways ?

I can't help but think some of the big better defensive guys on the Vikings would have to be better than who were playing

To me, Blair Walsh with the issues he has had should be doing everything to show his teammates that he will do anything to gain their respect.  Twice in the past 3 weeks Walsh was one of the last men back on a kickoff return, and he basically got out of the way to save himself.  I would think that he would sacrifice himself to try to prevent a touchdown right after your team just scored.  I lost a lot of respect for him at that point.

Unless they want to go for two after every TD and go for it on every 4th down, they better have a replacement ready.

I'd think that Jeff Locke can handle the 4th down scenarios, but yes...that's what I was getting at as well.  I hope they have someone in place and they're not just going to wing it this week!  I know they brought in something like 6 punters last week, so I'd assume that they have one of them pretty much signed by now?

I meant if they are in field goal range and it's 4th down and they have to go for it because they don't have a kicker because they didn't have a replacement lined up. But I think we are on the same page on this. I imagine they have someone they want and haven't announced it yet.
