There’s not much doubt that this Vikings season has been disappointing.
Minnesota finds itself in a 1-5 hole during its bye week. Despite that, the Vikings have plenty of assets that could make it a playoff contender in a short amount of time.
But Bleacher Report thinks it’s time to blow it up. Here’s what the outlet said:
“The Vikings are 1-5 with a minus-37 point differential and in a division with two teams possessing at least four wins. Franchise passer Kirk Cousins, who has a $21 million cap hit this season, has thrown 11 touchdowns and a league-high 10 interceptions. Last season, he only had six in 444 pass attempts. He only reached the double-digit mark in 606 attempts in 2018.
It’s hardly all on Cousins, though. The line play has been bad, the offense seems to miss wide receiver Stefon Diggs and the defense ranks bottom-five in average yards allowed (413.7) and points allowed (32.0) per game.”
That’s hard to argue with. I think with the way things are going, the Vikings will have to consider letting go of some big names before the trade deadline.
