Chicago Bears leave Vikings searching for answers

What´s Next


84 million questions to a disaster season
Eagle get a chance to defend title
USPA NEWS - The Chicago Bears rolled into US Bank Stadium on a mission, and that was to put a beating on their division rivals Minnesota Vikings. Leading up to the game everyone felt the Bears would rest their starters after winning the division title a few weeks ago, but come game time that wasn´t the case. The Bears wanted to make a statement headed into the postseason and they did just that by rattling the Vikings offense the whole evening. Starting the game the Vikings could not convert on third down to save their life as Chicago had them 9-1 on 3rd down conversions. The crowd at the near by diner could actually be heard outside chanting as Cousins and Vikes started to move the chains. Even though they started making some progress it seemed that the Vikings receivers could not get on the same page with their quarterback. At one time after a 3 and out it appeared that Diggs and co were blasting Cousins on the sideline after badly under throwing Thielen on a route that he clearly couldn´t make a play. With the loss the Philadelphia Eagles punched a trip to the postseason, with a chance to defend their title. The road to a repeat won´t be easy as a trip to Soldier Field is looming. Go Bears
As the coaching staff looked helpless on the sideline a lot of people are thinking it´s time for a coaching change. We have seen a lot of changes from other NFL teams over the course of the season, now it will be interesting to see what happens in the land of 10,000 lakes. Zimmer has been on the hot seat before, but after missing the playoffs it really could shake up things. The Vikings have tried to make a change at the offensive coordinator position, in which it seemed it worked for the last few weeks, but in the game where it really counted they fell flat on their face. Yes we can blame everything on Zimmer and everyone else but at the end of the day the Vikings made a huge mistake by giving Cousins 84 million and not investing in the offensive line. Cousins is now 4-25 against teams 500 or above but yet the coaching staff has faith in him. The Minnesota Vikings fans who took the trip on the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority felt let down and you couldn´t basically here a pin drop on the way home.
