I don't know if it's this year or next year that a replacement has to be found. I think draft value might determine that. I certainly don't think the Vikes need to rush in finding his replacement, I think it's ideal to build up the OL first and then take the QB early. But I'm afraid another year of Cousins starting is just another year missing the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bermuda Viking Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Tough loss. I can't believe the team dumped every single tough game and more. What a mess of a season. I thought the Bears game would be different. I hope Zim stays for another go. Some chat he may retire. I think the team has another good year ahead of them if they address the o-line. I know it is not he only issue but it is a big issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 7 losses: Bears 2x, Rams, Saints, Seahawks, Patriots, Bills. (One of those is not like the others...) We just weren’t good enough this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 8/14 on 3rd down for the Bears. 57% conversion rate... The offense was not good but the defense allowed a 9 minute TD drive right after the offense scored to make it 13-10. 5 converted 3rd downs alone on that drive. Gross. Time of possession was almost 2:1, tough to win ball games that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't move the ball consistently. We couldn't keep their defense on the field or get ours off of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the defense would be less tired and therefore less likely to give up long drives further improving the ToP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the defense followed a three and out with a three and out of their own, they wouldn’t be on the field as much. The offense is certainly not without criticism, but it’s overshadowing a problem with the defense not showing up in big games, and not getting crucial stops. A problem that isn’t unique to this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 C’mon guys, you’re making us look bad. The Bears D is legit. Fine if you have them 2nd but it is not a distant 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMFAO Seriously #1 in DVOA BY A MILE Only defense that is at or near the top in every statistical category. It's honestly not even a question for anybody but you.
