Leslie Frazier - Week Five

Vikings - Eagles

I agree with Pacifist Viking - the Vikings have no chance in this one.

As bad as the offence has looked all year, the defence hasn't looked any better of late. The Eagles should shred the Vikings defensive unit.

The Eagles do give up some points, so the Vikings only chance in this one is to outscore Philly. But with Joe Webb probably starting, that's not happening.

I don't expect the Vikings to beat good teams like the Eagles, Bears or Giants with the kind of season they are having. But I would like them to be competitive and make their opponents work for a win. That hasn't happened the past two games. I don't think it is happening this week, either.

Leslie Frazier's future

We've been told the Viking players respect their interim head coach. But they haven't played like it the past two weeks.

If they want Frazier to be their head coach next year in Minnesota, I think the team's performance Sunday against Philadelphia might determine Frazier's future.

Another uninspired, turnover and penalty-filled blowout for the Vikings and Frazier won't get this job.

If the Vikings somehow play well, even in a loss, Frazier might stick around.

And that's all I've got today on Christmas Eve.

Sorry for the short post. Much like the Vikings, I'm already in offseason mode.

Happy holidays everyone.
