Vikings GM Rick Spielman says coach Leslie Frazier's job is safe through 2014.

"Leslie Frazier is not going anywhere," Spielman said. "I am telling you that we are very committed to Leslie Frazier and this coaching staff. And we’re committed to our players, and everybody is working extremely hard to get this thing turned around." Minnesota exercised Frazier's 2014 option back in February. They may regret that decision now after the debacle that's been the 2013 season. Spielman's words hold little weight because his job may also be on the line. The Vikings are 17-28 since Frazier took over partway through 2010.

I would hope this is just smoke in the mirror, I really cant imagine Frazier coming back next year. Being he isnt smart enough to see the play calling from the OC is what is killing the offense, and the defense just needs a an over haul. Can Ziggy really put up with this? Or is he content now that he is getting a stadium?

[harvey lee]

He got his stadium so it may be the same ol.

SAD team to say the least and I would hope they would make some huge changes.

In the past decade I have maybe missed 1 game, I hardly even bother to watch them anymore, they are in shambles.

So can anyone think of any positives from this season so far?

All I can think of so far:

1) We won at least one game.

2)

[Hester]

We know we don't have a QB or a coaching staff.

That could be a positive as long as the right people also recognize it.

+1 million

[DrJuice1980]

Look in the mirror and take the 3. Fusco needs to go, but what a bad call to pull the guard to the side your running on 4th and 1 against a goal line D. Just invited the D tackle in for a stop. Nothing to lose but your jobs coaching staff

Lol, we knew that last season.

"We" as in the editorial "we" and most of the Viking fan base.

[JAfish]

The fumble in the end zone just now was either a terrible audible or just one stupid play call. Way too slow of a play to use in that situation. 3 steps and throw it or just hand it off. Sounds like The halftime crew just exposed the real reason this team is not winning (besides the injuries and poor defense).

[JAfish]

3rd qtr interception was really bad. Ponder can't even throw a hail mary pass 50 yds. he's gotta be done.

[Abndoc]

We almost gave Tampa and jasksonville a cushion for the draft. Yikes

[Bryce]

Obvious qb issue.

On record somewhere here questioning lb play back at training camp time. Too small to stop the run. Too slow to cover the pass. Don't know how to fill the gap (could be scheme or lack there of). Add in that they can't tackle when they do get in the way and you have the demise of our historically over rated defense.

[Hester]

So who starts at QB next week?

Cassel?

[Scott K]

I almost thought the coaches were that dumb and were going to win the game. I am glad they game to their senses and lost.

[fishersofmen]

Had to be Ponders best game of the season but that isn't saying much. The hail mary at the end was pretty funny...

The td run by Peterson was sweet.

[Hester]

I almost thought the coaches were that dumb and were going to win the game. I am glad they game to their senses and lost.

The coaches are coaching for they're jobs.

Unfortunately they were trying.

I know, its sad!

[greebs]

Typical. Offense does nothing special and the defense can't stop em when you need em to.

[LMITOUT]

The hail mary at the end was pretty funny...

Don't you mean the Hail-arious Mary?

[Glock]

I didn't a good look at it. Could you even see a Viking jersey even near where it landed?

[Hester]

Yes, it was another 10 to 15 yds down field.

[YiGGiN4SLoBS]

Just shaking my head watching undrafted Kase Keenum throw seeds all over the field and look better in his second start then ponder has in his entire career.

No way do I trust spielman to make the right pick next year

[LABS4ME]

So who starts at QB next week?

Cassel?

Game in four days... No way. They will go with Ponder and the same game plan.

Good Luck!

[FISHINGURU]

Keenum is lookin pretty good but he also has Andre and Hopkins, our QB's have Jennings and Simpson LMMFAO

Blunder looked like Blunder today, even when he plays at his best he's still bad. He's probably the only QB in the league that throws 10 yards short of the end zone on a hail mary.

[zepman]

ANY win the Vikings have from here on out actually hurts their future...

I can't get myself to cheer for the Vikings to lose during the game but it sure hurts less when I know each loss leads to a higher draft pick(s).

Was cheering for Tampa big time this afternoon.....

[FISHINGURU]

It's pretty easy to cheer for them to lose when you want a new staff and top 3 draft pick.

My buddy texted me right after we scored to take the lead and said "great another garbage win say goodbye to Bridgewater or Mariota. We do this every year win a couple games we shouldn't and miss out on a top QB". I responded with " It's not over yet, we rule at ****ing things up."

Thankfully I was right but it was pretty easy to see what would happen. Tampa let one go that sucks, they had it but that's what bad teams like the Vikes and Tampa do best.
