Check Down Charlie is In the House

that was a head scratcher. thats after a good defensive atop and very good return. it will be a LONG day

Looked like O’Neil hit his elbow

Zim ball…! :s  

Great play by Kendricks and nothing to show for it.

Looks like the Chargers DBs currently are squatting on all the routes we are running :-(

They have a 10 point lead, I guess it's time to go conservative.

Zimmers defense didn't used to  give up TD'd at the end of the half and the end of the game.

The 2nd half will be all LA, Vikings aren't good at adjustments.

Just like the season- rinse wash, repeat.

Brutal coaching toward the end of the 1st half. This is how the Vikings lose close games. Just horrible clock management. Lucky the Chargers couldn't take advantage. 

Check downs and run on first down.

This offense is officially offensive

Spot on!

Kirk and the entire offense looks terrible. Again. Not sure why I keep subjecting myself to this pain.
EDIT- Anyone thinking it's 100% coaching and that Kirk would be amazing with some other coach is either not watching the games or is delusional. He has twice the talent of a guy like Heineke, and half the grit.

JJ is a GROWN man. Damn!!

By the way, its the third quarter GB Vs SEA is still 3-0 GB

It is 99% coaching. This thing went pear shaped a couple seeks ago for the players. You are starting to see the wheels come off because there is nobody driving the bus that has a clue what to do. 

Quote of the day….
Mark Sanchez (after the Vikings score to to take a 20-17 lead): “I guarantee you Klink Kubiak is going to save this clip and show the players in the off season…”

I hope that team he is working with during the offseason is not the Vikings.  :s

Disagree. We absolutely need new coaches but we need a new QB too. Not throwing past the sticks on 3rd down has devolved into self-parody. 

And what’s worse, Kirk seemingly has very little situational awareness (pairs nicely with Zim!). Before the half today he could’ve taken a sack on yet another failed 3rd down try, but instead threw it into the dirt. Stopping the clock and giving LAC a chance. Plays like that you don’t have to be an all-world athlete like Kirk is. You just have to be smart. He does rookie type stuff like this every game and it drives me crazy.
