Why the Minnesota Vikings will struggle in 2011

Long time, no post here at Grant's Tomb.

Anyway, New York Times guest columnist Andy Benoit breaks down the Vikings in his latest preview of all 32 teams in, as Ron Jaworski likes to say, "the National Football League." (Note to Ronnie: I think your viewers will understand what you mean if you just say "NFL.")

It's an utterly depressing read, made even more so by the fact I basically agreed with everything Benoit wrote.

As I weigh whether to drop well over $100 (Canadian, which is worth more than the U.S. greenback these days) on an NFL Sunday Ticket package this week, I'll keep Benoit's piece in mind. Do I really need the aggravation of watching the Vikings get thumped every Sunday from September until early January?
