If you want something to listen to for the better part of an hour, the latest episode of the Access Vikings podcast was pretty interesting:

http://www.startribune.com/access-vikin ... 359665811/
Access Vikings podcast: Are the Vikings legitimate Super Bowl contenders? Is Bridgewater the QB to get them there?

Episode 20: Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins Michael Rand and Matt Vensel as they debate just how good the Vikings are and just how good Teddy Bridgewater can be.

Thanks. I always try to find a podcast when I'm driving for work. Listened to 10 minutes so far. A little bit of praising Peterson and a whole bunch of of critiquing Bridgewater. Not one mention of the offensive line yet.

How many podcasts are there of QB's without 2 years under their belt, that are told the ground game is first, NO mistakes 2nd, are though to THE QB. Other then the almighty CARR. With an Oline and receivers literally twice as good as ours. But I guess there must be a lot of fans that want the blame on Teddy (unlike before when they would chant his name as he went on the field) the the reports keeps making up trash.

Zimmer was asked if there were any positives to take away from today's Vikings/Seahawks game. His response:

"It's over".

Here we go, AP just opened his mouth about us being out-coached and had a "talk" with Zimmer after the game. One brutal game and this season could very well be down the drain. I hope to god we can find a way to turn this around.

If we can somehow get Smith, Joseph and Barr back, then I think we can but who knows if they will be ready by Thursday. I would even take 2 of them back and I think we have a good shot but who knows

Do you disagree? Zimmer has three of these games this season. Most coaches don't have three in a three year span.

No I'm not saying I disagree at all. What worries me is that I don't want bad blood going around now. We gotta keep it together if we want to make it in the playoffs. I'm starting to get a bad sense that we are going to collapse in this final stretch. We recovered well the week following GB. Gotta do the same now

Well after today we are probably dead last in the Leauge in pass yardage. When are they going to adress that?
The offense scored no points today...

Hodges had a good game for 49ers today. 5 tackles

He's already said the same and had talks after Green Bay.

Well I understand him to an extent. When he doesnt get the ball, we lose. When he does, we win. Pretty simple. I'm just worried about bad blood going around and this team collapsing.

Everyone thought our season was out the door after GB and we rebounded. Lets hope the same happens. I'm not sure if we can beat Arizona but we can definitely beat Chicago and the Giants which would put us at 10-6

10-5. Unless you consider @ Green Bay a sure loss.

Which is a viewpoint I personally wouldn't understand. The #### Montreal Allouettes would force us into overtime at this juncture in time.

I mean I think we have a shot to beat them but who knows. We don't fair well against mobile QBs and it depends on how healthy we are at that point in time too. We could still very well make this a 10-6 season, possibly 11-5. So for everyone freaking out practically saying we are the worst team in the NFL right now, just relax. The Giants and Bears are two much weaker defenses than Arizona and Seattle so I would hope we could take advantage of that and win those 2 games being at home
