Guess the OL doesn't shoulder all the blame, such a rare statement for this team

Defensive lapses, conservative play calling and missed FGs have made this team worse than it should be record wise.

That sums it up pretty well imo.
I am far more concerned about the D vs Dallas than I am about us putting up points.
If I'm Dallas? I'm salivating at Dantler and Breeland in the secondary and the Vikings run D giving up over 120 a game.

Wait, is that the same thing as saying "we're better than our record?"

I don't argue that possibility. But what does it matter? It will matter if the Vikings go on a little win streak here against good competition. Otherwise, it's useless.

Agreed. So far, Dallas is the most efficient offense in the NFL and when you watch them it shows. Vikes will need to score at least 30 to win this one I think
I get all my happy purple talking points from the Viking p.r. department. They told me we're gonna be champs... Again!!!

There was an informative link posted last week with a film breakdown on Darrisaw. Over and over the reviewer pointed out errors made by Darrisaw, however he kept talking about how Kubes has schemed to consistently get the ball out at the top of his drop. Less than 2 seconds.
This is excellent coaching and scheme to cover our Oline deficiencies.
We need to run the ball better against good teams. Dalvin is having a down year in my view, but we certainly are not opening huge gaps in the run game either

I don't see the down year for Dalvin. IMO, he's running as well as he ever has when he's been healthy.
However, that piece on Darrisaw showed how the Vikings were scheming to help him out. Mostly, having Cousins get rid of the ball quickly on timing routes, after short drops.
So it begs the question: why were we not doing this before? Especially considering how poor our OL has been up until this year. I sort of WANT to believe that Cousins just wasn't very good at it before, and now he is.
Because if you combine that new-found internal clock with a little bit better protection and you could get a phenomenal year out of this offense.
