Dolphins 37, Vikings 35

The Vikings lose another heartbreaker, this time 37-35 to the Dolphins in Miami.  The Vikings fall to 6-9 on the season.  It was another game they could have easily won, they just can't seem to close things out late.  That part is frustrating, but on the bright side, it is a much better product than we saw from them last year, there are certainly signs that they have finally found their future quarterback and they didn't hurt their draft positioning.  Better luck next week Vikings.

Observations:

• I continue to be impressed with Teddy Bridgewater. 
• The Vikings have now blown early 14-0 leads two weeks in a row. 
• This loss assures the Vikings of another losing season. 
• Matt Asiata is a touchdown machine.  He runs so hard.
• Mike Zimmer's clock management skills need to improve.  
• The Vikings 3rd down defense really struggled.  
• That Harrison Smith interception was impressive. 
• The Vikings offensive line is really shaky without 3 starters.  
• Greg Jennings sure does look much better with a quality quarterback.  
• I can't recall the last bad snap by Cullen Loeffler. 
• The Vikings defense appears to really miss Anthony Barr.
• How that Chase Ford catch wasn't ruled a touchdown is beyond me.  
• Justin Trattou has caught my attention several times the past 2 weeks. 
• The Vikings need to cut down on the stupid mistakes.  
• The Dolphins were 5 for 5 in the red zone, that's not acceptable. 
• Why isn't Joe Philbin high on Ryan Tannehill again?  
• Viking draft needs:  OL, WR, LB, DB, CB
• My thoughts and prayer go out to Chad Greenway.  
• Cameron Wake is a monster of a defensive end. 
• The Vikings conclude their season next Sunday @ home vs the Bears.
