This defense is the worst I have ever seen. Simply pathetic.

Donatell running two deep safeties on a power running offense...this is not going to work.  If he stays with this, we will lose for sure.

I told you all when he was hired he was a shitty hire. The Brad Childress of defensive coordinators. KOC can eat this one because he was his hire

If KOC brings him back I might be done. I have been a diehard Vikings fan since the '60's but this is downright embarrassing.

It's like they have no awareness of Jones running. Another Donatell failure.

They knew what the Giants game was and apparently didnt skeem anything to stop the back and QB from running

Agree with your list for most part.  Why bench Chandler, I must have missed a big error

Chandler is awful. Also 45 seconds is a long time for this defense to hold before halftime.
