Around SBN: Lakers Should Trade Andrew Bynum So He Doesn't Go To Waste

Vikings at Bears, Second Half Thread

Both teams have had plenty of opportunities in the first half of play this afternoon, but the Bears' new found ability to convert on third downs. . .they're 7 out of 10 this afternoon after entering the game as the league's worst third-down offense. . .has helped them to a 14-10 lead over the Vikings.

Jay Cutler has two touchdown passes, a 17-yarder to Greg Olsen and a 19-yarder to Devin Hester, while a 53-yard pass to Percy Harvin from Brett Favre has accounted for the lone Vikings' touchdown. Ryan Longwell is 1-for-2 on field goal attempts in the Soldier Field winds today, while Chicago kicker Robbie Gould is 0-for-1, missing just before the halftime break.

Join us for all the action here, folks. . .the Vikings need this one.

Out weakness (partially due to injuries) are being exposed:

Secondary (missing Asher Allen, Cedric Griffin) and WR (missing Rice and Berrian)

by Ace991 on Nov 14, 2010 1:37 PM CST reply actions  

i think our weakness is no pressure

do u see cutler fluster at all, any qb can rip apart a defense if tehy have time to process teh field. we got to make cutler hurry up his reads which is not happening. he has so much time i even know where the ball is going.

by eltwentyone on Nov 14, 2010 1:39 PM CST up reply actions  

Agree..

He is not even getting hit to give him somethng to think about..if that doesn’t change now, we will chew us up in the 2nd half..

EXACTLY

That is the game right now. Period.

Unfortunately, we have been bad on 3rd down on Offense all year (can’t get a yard or two when we need it on the ground, no consistent WR option to get 5-10) on D we get no pressure whatsoever and our secondary is so soft.

This team is just not that good.

Why don't we go to

the hury up on offense, and the blitz on defense?

by jshep on Nov 14, 2010 1:38 PM CST reply actions  

We need to blitz more

The bears O-line problems come from trying to pick up blitz schemes. We cant rush 4 guys all the time and expect them to royally suck like they have all year. We need to confuse them with blitzes

by uncle rico on Nov 14, 2010 2:41 PM CST reply actions  

so far, not so good

Based on the performance of the special teams (coverage) this game should be alot further aprt than the score indicates. Our defensive pressure has been ok but we need a sack or two because Cutler is having way too much time to find his receivers. Offensively, whoever is calling the plays is not picking his plays very effectively. If it’s Childress, he’s simply not a very good play caller and should be replaced for someone who is a little less pass happy and more pro- ground control. For crying out loud, you’ve got the best RB in the NFL, along with a decent back-up in TG and yet you are bent on passing 80% of the time. Just like in other games, now you find yourselves having to play catch-up and now you HAVE TO PASS!
Not a very good game plan at all and maybe it’s time to pull the trigger on Childress.

Lions – 5-11 and heading for contender status in ’11 (if there is a season)

probably.

I mean, when you can see a constant problem from the start of the game… maybe you should implement changes.

we can safely assume that we are done for the season. After that? We loose Pat. Sid, chad, ben, ray and t-joke are free agents. And worse of all, childress is still our coach

I just don’t root for them because, like you, I wanted to be different. While they’ve won 2 Super Bowls in my lifetime, the Vikings have broken my heart twice.

You Are Correct

This season is done. I’ll still be pulling for the Vikings regardless, but our chances of making the playoffs are slim and none, and slim just left town.

It’s not just losing, it’s how they’ve been losing. Their actions on the field tell me that even they think that they are done. Their effort on the field is somewhere between listless and non-existent.

That is the season. The shots of Berrian, Rice, and Harvin sitting on the sidelines for the last couple drives just sums the entire year up for us.

Sad thing is we will probably suck even more next season. I’m hoping it doesn’t happen but a lot of the big vets that are free agents could certainly leave.

by Galkuris on Nov 14, 2010 3:21 PM CST up reply actions  

Nope.

Most reports indicated that the initial doctors said he did need the surgery but he wanted second opinions. He’s an idiot. His asinine decision very much hurt this team, no doubt about it. He can go fly a kite. Hope we cut his lame ass. He cost us dearly this year for so many reasons.

we need to majorly revamp our o-line

something’s got to give…they’re just playing so inconsistently; one second they can’t pass protect, and can create a huge hole for AD, the next second there’s almost no room to fit a mouse through, and Favre has all day

bench Sidney and the rest of the team

Its time to look to the future. Sidney was only looking out for himself and not the team. The defense is a joke. Special teams is a joke, and our offense is just plain bad. The only thing good that comes for this loss will be the firing of childress. Oh i cant wait tile his butt is gone.

CRAPPPP!!!!!!!!

Woo freakin hoo!!! The Vikings poop another game away!! Wow. It was pretty close to pathetic if not nearly to absolutely pathetic!!! Hardly any pressure at all on Cutler! I get more pressure than that from my shower!!

This game will be the Vikings “slip-n-slide” bowl. Fall down, fall down, fall down. What is the deal with negotiating the turf!!!! Wear proper shoes for the field!

OH FREAKIN WELL. If that is how they want to play. I will say this, though. Apparently good defense (13:52 in 3rd quarter) is taking Viking defenders to the ground! I heard Saragussa say “Ooops, it looks like Ted (official) missed that one.”

Oh ya think??? YEAH, TED MISSED A LOT OF ONES!!!!!

Any way Vikings lose and per near crap away the season. Can’t stand da freakin bears!

Thanks for another depressing Sunday! Oh well, it could be worse. We could be Buffalo!
Vikings hatch an egg against rivals. WOOOOOO HOOOOO! We ROCK!!!!

Hey here’s a thought. Maybe we will have a bad blizzard or snow storm then the whole freakin NFL will let us win a Super Bowl. They will all say how Minnesota went through so much and how winning a world championship eased their pain. Why not?
