If you don't have any interest in clicking on the link, this pretty much sums up this enigma of a season better than anything else I've read.
We’re at the point in the NFL season where we know basically what every team is. The Saints and Chiefs are offensive juggernauts. The Packers are a mess. The Chargers are frauds. The Steelers are rounding into Steelers-like form, as they always do. The Jaguars suck. The Bears are the new Eagles. The Eagles are the new toilet. And the Minnesota Vikings are a talented team that pathologically commits HORRIBLE turnovers and spends entire games frantically trying to clean up their own messes. They are infuriating and they are, in every way, emblematic of the quarterback they gave $84 million to this offseason.

I would much rather hit full stride a little later
Outside of Thielen and Diggs, we have nothing else that is working on offense and teams seem to be doing a better job of taking those two away now that they have more film of Flip's offense. As much as I blame Spielman for the state of our offensive line, I think I put even more blame on Flip and his scheme whatever that even is. By week 12, we should be seeing an offense running on all cylinders. That has yet to happen. We have not developed a consistent 3rd WR who can put pressure on defenses, especially when they continue to force reps to Treadwell. We have completely ignored Rudy and the TE position in the passing game, and we don't seem to understand how to use Cook. Running him time and time again between the tackles is absolutely foolish. He needs to get the ball in space. That is how he was used in College and that is how he should be used in this scheme. Shurmur was way more creative in using the pieces he had to cobble together an effective offense. I have yet to see that with Flip and we are running out of time.
