I idea is that Zimmer is trying to hold on till we can AD in there again. The only hope. Next Week Dallas is gonna Wipe the Floor with us like 42-6. Sad day coming

More than likely we will lose heartbreakingly. Like, a fumble inside the 30 down by 1 with 10 seconds to go. That more the vikings style.

How do you know that Wright is more capable than Treadwell when Treadwell has had such limited opportunities this year?? Hmmmm
Well, for starters, I've watched Wright play for several seasons and he can make some plays. He isn't amazing, but he's capable, and right now we need someone to run some slants and crossing routes and make some YAC.

Treadwell is a rookie and the coaches don't seem to think he's ready, based on his playing time this year.

I'll go with the guy I know can make some plays.

We can't run the ball. 17 yds in the first half. Terrible.

The passing game is dink and dunk.. 13 completions for 93 yds. (7 yd. average).

Patterson hasn't been able to do anything with his touches... the Lions are totally on top of him every time.

With Diggs out, where is Jarius Wright? He's more capable of filling Diggs's shoes than Charles Johnson or Treadwell.

The Defense will need to win this game... maybe the Special Teams... offense is weak.
No sacks either.
Don't pick a fight with an old Viking. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
