The game yesterday was so disappointing. It wasn’t that the Bengals played well and the Vikes weren’t good enough. It was simply the Vikes shooting themselves in the foot, over and over again. The 12 accepted penalties were entirely too many. I didn’t disagree with any of the penalties called on the Vikes. The team looked ill prepared and lackadaisical. They showed some fight in the 4th quarter, but it wasn’t enough. OL was terrible, worse than last year. DL had some pass rush, but got gaped in the run game. The defense still struggled with allowing big plays.
