I get it. Division game and all. But that was ugly.

Is this thing STILL on?

Skol Vikes!

This is the example game of why Zim's time needs to be over.  You never attack a team where they are weak, its always "play our game." You never can adjust where it counts, look at Hicks fricken dominating.  Cousin's with 87 yards against this team.....just wow.

Glad to win! Nothing I saw convinced me this team or this staff has turned a corner.

Well, we witnessed a team with more coaching issues than the Vikes.  Hicks and the bears DL played great tonight though.

Our o-line looked like boiled crap much of tonight, Cousins basically got mugged...Cook as well.

The D actually stepped up, and didn't give away the farm for a change.  That last TD was...iffy...to me, forward progress be damned.  The zebras did more to keep Chicago in the game than the Bears offense did.

The Bears repeatedly shot themselves in the foot. It was ridiculous. They know their coach is dead man walking.

If elated means underwhelmed and once again not surprised that our team failed to make a statement when it was there for the taking,  then color me elated.

That game last night was absolutely pathetic.  The only thing that kept the Vikings from getting beat was the bears inability to play disciplined football.  

A win is a win,  style points dont count, but thats only in the records and final standings.  Really evaluating that game for what it was that was another example of why the current regime has to go.  Beating a bad team playing with about every card stacked against them is nothing to build on IMO.

Our O strategy was to minimize the Bears deficiency... Horrific play calling from Kubes Jr. 

I'd like to say if we play like this vs the Rams, we'll get throttled. But, we won't. We'll play well enough to keep it to a, say it with me, one score game. 

So over this regime. Well past time.

The game was beyond ugly. Bears had 370 yards offense and we had 193 yards.
Bears 255 yards passing...Vikings 61 yards.
Refs pretty much controlled the game to the Vikings advantage.
Zimmer should really be ashamed of himself.
Next up Rams coming off a really short week.

Meh...
one of the worst offensive game plans I've seen in a long, long while...
one of the worst Bears teams I've seen in a long, long while 

Vikings will probably play better vs Rams. They tend to play up or down to their opponents (most of the time). 

I'm curious to see how this .500 type Zimm team plays vs elite NFC talent the next 2 games.

So far this year we have ran plays where our targets were our FB and TE running deep fade routes. With 3 games left in the season I cant wait for the Fake Punt Hail Mary. SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT KUBIAK

Win ugly is still a win.  Offense struggled but the D stepped up.  Game was never in doubt.

You mean like allowing Jefferson to be tackled and giving the bears an easy INT?

The defense made a lot of great plays, especially on 4th down. Hopefully they have some confidence going into the Rams game...will need the fans to be loud too

Probably. But either way, Viking fans will be pissy. Win ugly, fans pissy, focus not on W, but how we played. Lose pretty, fans pissy, focus not on how we played, but on L. Kick dog. 

This Bears team beat the Bengals and blew out the Raiders. Lost in Pittsburgh on the final play. It's an NFL team. At home. On prime time. Against whom we do not matchup well. MIssing players, but so were we. Offense played poorly, defense played well. Opposite of what we're used to. Either way, Vikings one step closer to playoffs.

The offense left points out there but they got a win. The defense made some key plays
