Why not Eric Reid?

This team sucks and that isn't going to change by signing a safety that nobody else wants.

The defense gave up the most points in an opener in Vikings history. Worst defense performance in game 1 of all time, 60 years!!! IDK if I was being delusional to think they would finish 9-7 at this point. Sure it's one game, but it's still a game. Getting punked at home by GB is never good.

There is a very real chance this team starts out 0-5!

Agreed!

Elfein is on IR so we finally get to see what this team looks like without a complete and total sieve on the interior of the line.

It is a great opportunity for Dru to step up. How bad was the line last week?

Bradbury is the guy I really worry about. He needs to become a stud.

The line overall was fine. We gave up 7 pressures with 5 of those coming from Elflein. This article breaks down the game well.

Thanks for sharing. It is good to hear Bradbury had a good game. I am excited to see Dru play and hopefully we can see if Udoh and Cleveland can play at some point this season too.

It certainly smells like a rebuilding year to me.
