So, I don't know how this will end...

With Darrisaw in there now starting, there aren't any glaring holes on the O-line (center gets inconsistent at times, but not glaring IMO). To me that means the Vikings can come back at the end of games like they did to set up game winning FGs (JFC Joseph) or get the ball in overtime and just sling it. The Viking's D isn't any worse than other team's defenses (look around the league and see what was given up yardage-wise, crazy) and probably better than average. 

I don't know: the Vikings haven't been blown out by anyone. They probably can even play with the good teams. Whether that means wins or not, I really have no idea. But maybe it'll be an interesting stretch run.

This team has to stop playing to opponents level and figure out ways to put teams away. There is no reason either of the last two games should have been close.

The Vikings last two series on offense in the fourth quarter were first down...run, second down...run, third down...incomplete pass, then punt.  Zimmer and/or Kubiak called this TWICE.  Of course, the Panthers used this opportunity to tie the game.  So how is this game and clock management since this only took a minute of so off the clock?  Everyone knew what the play calls would be, including the Panther defense which they shut the offense down.
When we need to move the ball, then the offense opened up and was clicking.  Why does Zimmer wait to the last minute or when it's dire straits and on the verge of losing the game?
Changes must be made after this season.  No doubt.

Completely agree...

I think this team can beat anyone on a given week, or lose to em too. I do think coaching (especially offense) is holding this team back from reaching its potential. 

I have no idea if Big D will roll the Vikings @ home or we win in a thriller. I'm glad to have a bye week as a fan. 

I have big doubts re: Bradbury, but that OL on paper is the best they have fielded in some time. Now those guys just need experience and to stay healthy. Its a really young OL -- reminds me of 1996/97. Before those guys blossomed into an awesome group in 98.
