You know, after losing Teddy Bridgewater the way the Vikings did before the season even began, it was foolish to assume this season would come free of drama and anguish.
The same exact story played out again last week; the Vikings blew another game. Because of this, the Detroit Lions are now in first place in the NFC North via tiebreaker. Frankly, the only good thing about the past few weeks for Vikings fans is that the Packers are also going through their dumpster fire phase.
The question is, when do the Vikings snap out of it? The great bounty hunter Spike Spiegel once said "I'm just watching a bad dream I never wake up from." The past month of Vikings football has felt just like that; a continuous nightmare as the team falls from grace faster than Ken Bone after the internet found out his thoughts on the Trayvon Martin situation.
The NFC North is now a three team race, but two of those teams look like hot garbage. There is still hope, though. If the Vikings can sneak out a pair of wins in the next two games, it would serve as a nice little bandage to stop the bleeding.
7-4 is still a realistic possibility, and it would put the Vikings back into first place no matter what Detroit does in week 11.
Aside from hoping for the future, I really have no answers for the last month. I don't think any of us do. These next two games are must-wins if this team hopes to make any noise in December.
If the Vikings can slow David Johnson in any way, there's a chance they take back their momentum with a win.
Otherwise, the only celebrations on tap for USBank Stadium in 2016 will be had by the 7 high school champions to be crowned when the Prep Bowl concludes next weekend.
Skol Vikings!
