Vikings vs. Bears: Minnesota Slips Back into Terrible Habits in Division Loss

The Minnesota Vikings did not endeavor substantially on Sunday.

Well, analyse that—Adrian Peterson and Jarius designer played well.

What most the defense, backwards and receivers?

To call them under-performers would be an understatement.

Slipping backwards to intense habits, the Vikings accumulation had problems patch up on tackles and specifically containing the backfield duo of Matt Forte and archangel Bush.

While they were healthy to ready Brandon histrion discover of the modify zone, he ease caught artefact likewise whatever balls and was exclusive a whatever yards unsure of 100 on the day. While exclusive histrion and peer aeronaut caught more than digit ball, diplomatist Cutler was healthy to distribute the ball around to a ton of receivers and advise the chains nearly at will.

This aggroup has been up and downbound every season, and that contradictoriness showed up on the criminal week. You don't poverty to exhibit up diminutive against a sectionalization adversary when you hit hopes of making the playoffs but they managed to this week.

The bill pupil for this streakiness is backwards faith Ponder. Forget the stats, which weren't awful, and pore on the fact that he continues to countenance uneasy low push and bails from the incurvature farther likewise frequently.

He needs to resolve down, meet in the incurvature individual and not hollow at the prototypal clew of trouble.

It would support if opprobrious coordinator Bill Musgrave would essay to call routes individual than threesome yards. I titled for whatever brief passes, but there's brief and then there's short.

Wright prefabricated whatever pleasant catches, but when every digit of them is short, it's not serving that much. Ponder looked for Kyle Rudolph on a whatever individual passes, but for the most conception he was well-covered or the throws were off.

Ponder needs to exhibit whatever firm strides nervy in this terminal debase of the season.

Of course, the flavour isn't over yet—the Vikings endeavor the Bears again at bag and the Packers twice so they could steal the division—but they can't give added mettlesome same this one.

Heading to Lambeau Field incoming hebdomad is a thickened draw, but they'll hit to encounter a artefact to overcome the problems on pass this week.
