Johnson must go

[mnwild]

Vikes defense finally came back to reality, they looked as bad as the Packers pass defense. Johnson looked horrible, how many more games will he start till the replace him with Bollinger??

[IFallsRon]

I'm in now. Johnson has no arm strength, no zip on the ball. I'll qualify that by saying that the Vikes have no good WRs, too.

[Stratosman]

Havn't looked at any stats but I'd have to believe we have the worst offense in football it terms of scoring.

[tcroz]

Bottomdweller you still feeling that 12-4? We were fortunate to see what a QB with arm strength and mobility could do. I am not blaming everything on Johnson, but 2 people on "O" touch the ball everytime. And the one receiving the snap better be able to get it done. Johnson is washed up and a below average NFL QB at this stage in his career. No arm strength...no mobility...now dumb a#% decisions. Not the greatest attributes for an NFL QB.

When is T.Jackson going to be ready?

How about that call on the Wiggins catch that was terrible!

[Eric Wettschreck]

I just absolutely knew this thread would heat up. The Vikes (who I'm thinking will be nothing more than average for another year) put a smack down on Seattle, on the road, and no one really said anything.

Then the Vikes stink up the place and here we go with the thread gettin hot again.

IFalls Ron....Welcome aboard!

With all due respect Boilerguy the Seahawks without Alexander are not the Seahawks. Granted Vikes played well but I think our heads got a little swollen after that victory!

[LMITOUT]

Oh come on...you mean a win against Seneca Wallace at QB and Matt Strong at RB isn't a quality win???

[mnwild]

Just like when Favre had a few bad games at the beginning of the season everyone bashed him. Now the past 2 games he has thrown no INT'S and about 4 TD'S and you hear nothing.

Same goes when the Vikes play bad.

[tcroz]

Stats

Johnson is 24th in the league QB rating 74.5 (Culpepper 77)

4 TD's in 7 games 7 ints.

He feels he is underpaid I think he should count his blessings!!! Numbers don't lie!

I think it had less to do about them being without Alexander and more to do with the fact that we can play well against the run and not so good against teams with a solid O line and a great QB.... Belicheks game planning was pretty good as well. With our remaining schedule, I still see a 10-6 finish.

[Lip RIPPER!]

Maybe the (Contact Us Please) Viking fan in the stands who threw the beer or pop at the receiver who scored the second Patriot touchdown should try out. He looked like he had a great arm. Tom Brady had every right to be [PoorWordUsage]ed at that loser when he yelled back into the stands. It's bad enough the team is struggling but then we have so-called Viking fans act like that. I thought it was ridiculous and was embarrassed to be called a Vikes fan after that.

Hey tc,I gotta eat a little crow. How about ten and six?

Yes johnson looked terrible, but I think the whole team pitched in to lose this one. How about the pass off of williamsons helmet. Man he cant catch at all, that was six pts. The d and special teams just plain ugly. And dont get me started on the offensive line. But I think theyll put it behind them and finish strong. Maybe one loss to the bears and the rest wins, yeah sounds good. If Brad continues to play bad how soon could Jackson step in or should he? Anyone know why they dont throw to wiggins more, he was huge for us last year.

[bottomdweller]

P.S the officiating really stunk it up a couple of times

[Kodiak]

yes johnson has to go, or at least try some other guys on different series throughout the game to give em a try and too mix it up a little.

say put johnson in the first two possesions and tjax in for the third...do it like spurrier used to do in florida or 90's steelers.

[Bobby Bass]

The thought of every 3rd set of downs letting someone else have a shot is inviting but---we are 4-4 and not out of yet. Last weeks game was not Brads fault, completely. Lets talk to the left side of the line about the two blind side hits resulting in fumbles. The interception was a tipped ball but Brad tossed the ball so that is on his judgement. Already have addressed Williamson dropped balls and should we say anything about the 65 yard td called back because Taylor clearly blocked a player in the back. Plenty of blame to spread around for losses I would like to see some praise spread around for a few wins!

[tcroz]

Not much praise here! I watch football to be entertained. The Vikings offense is not entertaining it is dismal. An offense starts and ends with the QB. The line and backs are sufficient, not great but sufficient. WR's below average. A versatile/mobile QB can make a lot of people better. TIme for him to hang up the cleats!!!

[Kodiak]

i got a tip...THROW THE BALL.. stop holding onto it, run some slants you are always open on a quick slant.
