I assume 4. They scored 1 offensive TD against GB, 0 against the Lions, 1 against Buffalo and 1 against Tampa Bay. The really bad news is that one of those TDs came in garbage time against GB and was scored by everybody's favorite Vikings quarterback.
It seems amazing that we had even one win during that span. The defense just earned even more respect from me.
They've hung pretty tough against the last 3 opponents, although they weren't exactly facing a trio of offensive juggernauts.

DC George Edwards said the #Vikings are working diligently to prepare for RGIII now, though they still feel there is a chance McCoy plays.
Are you sure you are a vikes fan? You always seem to pick the other team. Haha I say 34-7 Vikes. Barr has another monster game and the offense finally gets rolling. Oh and Xavier has a int!

QB's are Rick's specialty. Should be no problem to find 2 of them. Piece of cake.
I'm a bit off tonight, I had a biopsy done on my finger, and the bastards never told me it would hurt like this. Im in a foul mood and want to go to the Doc's house tonight and cut off part of his finger, and then sew it together like I would imagine Heller Keller could.

Sorry to hear that man, hope everything turns out alright for you.

Thanks. The doctor was sick, coughing all over me, and didn't have an assistant, which made me want to get it done at another time. But he said it was nothing...its a finger I broke once playing football, and the other time, volleyball. So its been all knotted up for a few years, and I wanted to find out why.

I think I picked the vikings last week! didn't I?
Anyway, hope I'm wrong this week. just a hunch that RGIII will have a couple long plays against us and our offense will continue to struggle this week.
I'd like to see McKinnon get at least 1 yard on every carry, average 5.3 or above, and get at least 25 touches.
I'd also like to see Teddy complete 2 passes over 30 yards.

If we do those two things I think we'll win.
I hope Mckinnon gets more than "1 yard on every carry".
Do not mistake KINDNESS for WEAKNESS!
Best to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool rather than open it and remove all doubt.
Griffin's return for Washington should be welcome news to Vikings
Mike Zimmer, the longtime NFL defensive coordinator and first-year Vikings coach, is overseeing a Minnesota defense that isn't great but appears to be much improved over 2013.
Washington's loss in that game to Minnesota last fall came four days after it beat San Diego, 30-24, in a Sunday afternoon game. The date of that victory was Nov. 3. That was the last time Griffin started and finished a game that the Redskins won.
That means if Griffin can't beat the Vikings on Sunday, he will have gone a year without earning a victory in a game in which he went the entire way.
This is likely to be on Griffin's mind when he takes the field Sunday at TCF Bank Stadium. So will the fact that his teammates will be looking for him to continue a winning streak he did not start.
Can Griffin stay on the field? Can he have success? Can he find an identity as an NFL quarterback? All of these questions are unanswered and could cause doubt in Griffin's mind.
McCoy, meanwhile, has no such doubt right now. He actually would be the tougher matchup Sunday. But it sounds as if the Vikings won't see him. For that, they should be very happy.

I see his point too but it's basically a "wait and see" situation. Griffin could easily be rusty or make some mistakes due to a lack of sufficient playing time in Gruden's offense or he could come out on fire, rejuvenated after recovering from his injury and ready to seize the reigns of the team. Maybe it will be a little of both.
At this point, I'm seeing the matchup between the Washington defense and the Vikings "score one TD a game if we're lucky" offense as the bigger concern in this game.

I believe the Vikings offense is closer to being productive than one might think. Once they start connecting with the deep ball (missed at least 3 opportunities the past couple of games), I think everything will open up for them. It's just a matter of time. But they have to stay healthy. It's hard to show improvement when they're always swapping players.
