I have barely paid attention to the Vikes this year, in part because the Wolves soap opera has been very attention grabbing but football seems to be losing it's luster in my life. I'm kind of shocked at the fan reaction right now, Defillipo may have been terrible but we had a good offense to start the year and to me it seems our O-Line, for the 2nd time in 3 seasons, has completely sabotaged the team. And this was the most predictable thing that could have been made in July for how our season would go south. That's on Spielman and partially Zimmer, not Defillipo.
This team should spend it's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounders on O-Line at this point. We keep passing the buck on the position that if you don't have it, it ruins your season from the inside-out.

Couldn't agree more but one thing to notice is that we were predictable with this coach. Seattle sniffed out many of our plays.

Yep, the off-season has to be about improving the O-line. Take picks en masse and see if there is any way to get a FA. It is difficult to get FA O-linemen but we need to do it. The highest rated player on the O-line is O'Neil and he was supposed to be a rookie project needing a year or more to develop. Outside of Elfien and O'Neil we need replacements at all the other line positions. We could keep one if other spots are resolved and it may help.
DeFillipo was fired because the offense has not worked well for several weeks now. The Seattle game was very predictable.
