Anemic offense, relenting defense, spotty special teams doom Vikings

In a game that could have vaulted them into first place, the mistake-prone Vikings were totally outclassed by a division opponent.

3rd and 2 then 4th and 2 and let's try two pass plays. If I were Peterson I'd demand a trade.

If I remember correctly we have two other quarterbacks - maybe someone needs to remind Frasier of that fact! Remember Webb -- he is not afraid to throw a football! If we are going to go anywhere for the remainder of the season then we need to change our quarterback - Ponder is certainly not perfect!

Hope y'all like paying taxes for the new stadium.

Why were we running the ball down by 18 in the fourth quarter? Until the Vikings have a franchise quarterback, they won't ne going anywhere in the division. While watching Peterson run may be fun, it dosen't equate to winning games.

Zygi Wilf, please sell to someone who cares about winning, not just profits!

Homer Simpson should be in jail for stealing money that could have gone to a high school kid that could catch more passes. What a worthless slug. I watched him drop three easy catches and then I turned turned to the Weather Channel. Haven't seen that much confusion between hands and brain since troy williamson.

2 weeks off to prepare for a team coming off a short week and you get the worst first half of football ever. When is Frasier and Musgrave going to be called out???? Cutler dont even have to wash his jersey. Did Allen and Robison play? I mean, the Bears o-line got destroyed last week and our d- line did nothing. They are slow and weak just like the lb's. Musgrave calls the same 5 passing plays over and over and waits till 3 minutes left in the game to throw a pass over 15 yards. The Bears knew every play if it was a run or pass. All you will hear is how they will watch film and learn from their mistakes. Same crap different week.

What a joke of a team. We finally find out how our Vikings match up against a real team. This will be a long second half. However, the Vikings will probably muster a few last wins at the end when its over to knock themselves out of a good draft pick. Also, can we please fire Frazier? He's been AWFUL against the NFC North. I'm sick of losing to the Bears and Packers constantly.

Two weeks to prepare and this is what they produce...10 measly points? Vikes had perfect opportunity in the first 6-7 minutes to take control and failed miserably. Outcoached by Mike Tice and Lovie Smith?! Frazier and his amateurish coaching staff need to be let go at season's end.
