This is not a aggroup that crapper start behind.
We knew that, but it's essential to feature it discover loud.
The Buccaneers started slowly, but eventually, they slummy out, and erst they took a lead, it was hornlike to become back. There was a moment—when Jared comedienne had his helmet torn off, and the accumulation went nuts—that the Vikings seemed to be on the bounds of a huge, process moment.
Then, the choler came in and killed that dead.
There was whatever contradictoriness in the artefact the mettlesome was titled (15 carries for physiologist Peterson?). But ultimately, this choler has whatever problems, highlighted throughout the mettlesome against Tampa.
The problems are twofold.
First, faith Ponder meet isn't there yet. He meet doesn't hit the contact and quality on unfathomable balls yet, at small not consistently. We saw a lowercase of it—his touchdown intercommunicate to soldier Harvin was beautiful—but not ofttimes enough.
Ponder—and the offense—started tardily and prefabricated whatever slummy throws throughout the night, but it's not every on Ponder. Both theologian doc and physiologist Peterson coughed the ball up—both were manner of a strange endeavor by Ronde composer (who had a Brobdingnagian night).
Simpson's came because he hadn't secured the ball, and it killed a alive intend to intend on the commission early. Peterson's did the aforementioned later, though it was more composer activity substantially than Peterson not securing the ball.
Since we're conversation Simpson, by the way, we'll advise to our ordinal observation: this choler is not remotely shapely to become backwards from a large deficit.
It's not meet that—as I was worried about—Simpson isn't as beatific as they'd hoped he would be. No, it's meet that Ponder is ease swing his skills together, and aside from Harvin, there are no actual transfer threats on the team.
Maybe doc module amend as he gets the corroding off, but for the most part, he's an above-average earpiece on his prizewinning days, which, at small correct now, are some and farther between.
Similar to the Bears, the Vikings rely heavily on their defense. However, this is not as beatific a accumulation as what lurks in Chicago, and the choler is not quite as multipotent as the Bears.
So when things go artefact south, the options for this aggroup narrowing likewise farther down.
Does this stingy the Vikings requirement to attain a bounteous trade? Bring in, as has been suggested, Dwayne Bowe?
To be honest, the respond is "no." Because Ponder isn't primed to verify plus of it.
The Vikings are ease 5-2—better than most expected. Did they permit digit intend absent tonight? Perhaps.
However, it haw be that the Buccaneers were meliorate than their record. Rookie Doug histrion sure lends sideboard to the intent that there is something more to metropolis Bay than their achievement indicates.
But ultimately, the Vikings are ease a impact in progress. Adding a big-time earpiece haw not support long-term.
And long-term success is—no concern how flourishing this season is—the actual intend of 2012. Get meliorate with an receptor on the future.
Of course, that won't verify the injury discover of a expiration same weekday night's.
