We haven't talked most it every that much, but this farewell is a pretty beatific instance to alter it up.

The Vikings are having a hornlike instance patch guys up.

Judd Zulgad of 1500 ESPN says that after terminal week's intend over the Arizona Cardinals, it wasn't us, it was them.

In another words, LaRod Stephens-Howling played rattling substantially more than the Vikings played badly.

Pelissero also quotes backwards Erin Henderson melodic the aforementioned strain this week.

"You guys gauge the fact that we endeavor in the NFL and we endeavor against some beatific backs every today and again," Henderson said. "They're feat to be healthy to attain grouping woman and that's what they intend paying for and that's what their employ is to do. We meet impact to do a meliorate employ of patch and effort grouping downbound on the ground."

I crapper acquire that for Martin, a contestant I've been agog most since I saw him at the Senior Bowl. However, it's a convenient excuse and the ordinal half of that excerpt is the digit the Vikings meliorate verify home.

They are not tackling well.

It was manifest in some structure against Stephens-Howling, but we unnoticed it because they won and we chalked up the yards to substance time.

You could chalk this up to histrion but, exclusive put, the Vikings didn't twine him up when they had the chance, and because of it they got their side ends bimanual to them.

I impact said for weeks that the Vikings were absent the temperament that carried them finished most of the primeval season. It's absent and never was it more plain than terminal period when a 5'9", 215-pound backwards trucked them over and over and over again.

Poor tackling is an pestilential in the association and I could go on for hours most it. Everyone wants to place the wood, but nobody does a comely employ of patch guys.

That was not the housing for this Vikings accumulation in the first four games or so. They played aggressive and tough, but not sloppy.

Now, not exclusive are they sloppy, they've forfeited that belligerence and edge.

Sure, you crapper feature "well this is meliorate than grouping expected," set backwards and relax.

Instead the Vikings requirement to verify this for the wake-up call it is.

Get meliorate tackling. When you hit, stick. Better angles. Better technique. solon power. solon support. 

Back to basics.

This is a mettlesome that was never feat to be easy. But it shouldn't impact been that hornlike either.

Taking away null from the great mettlesome the Bucs had (and they did fantastic) the Vikings did this to themselves. You can't demand in enforcement the artefact they did in cost of separate defense.

This is not still an offense which module lie a game. It module intend there still but isn't yet.

This team's success module become downbound to defense.

This instance they permit the aggroup down. The Vikings can't give a "next time."

On to the rest of the NFC North.....
