anyone have any names yet?

The Vikings decided to keep a guy that is seriously in decline.  He can come in on 3rd and long but he is a liability on the run and the pre-season showed he is not getting any better at it.

That was a bad showing tonight. Big heart and skill by the FSU D. Hope they didn't lose the QB for the year. 

Bama will be tough to beat as usual this season. 

So...  after 4 preseason games, how is everyone feeling about the offense this season?  Quite a few were predicting a top 10-15 offense.

Personally, I saw nothing that has me optimistic we'll be better than last year.  Same red zone woes with penalties and mistakes that prevent us from scoring.  Bradford settling for short throws, even when he has had time and a clean pocket.

Dalvin Cook looks good and the run blocking looks better, but it sure seems like we're trying to throw the ball early and often.  That resulted in no offensive TDs from our starters this preseason...  

Maybe we should get back to being who we were in 2015 and pound the fuck out of a defense with our running game?  I actually think Bradford would be more effective with less passing attempts.

I hate to be a negative nelly, but I think we're going to be in the same boat as last season.  A top 10 defense with a bottom 10 offense that struggles to score 20 points per game.  

Tell me I'm wrong.

They have both become favorites of VikeFans.com.  If you have not heard them talk, you should.  Here they both are after the Dolphin loss(Coley is a bit solemn, because of the loss and a very quiet locker room).  Adams is an electric personality and has a lot of upside.
