Vikes Views: Nincompoop of the Week: Bills at Vikings

Minnesota Vikings discussion Vikes Views: Nincompoop of the Week: Bills at Vikings by Craig Williams Recap of the Minnesota Vikings loss against the Buffalo Bills, Week 9 of the 2026 NFL Season Nov 10, 2026, 4:53 PM UTC Facebook Link The Minnesota Vikings defense came to play last night, unfortunately, the offense did not. In a display of offensive ineptitude, the Vikings were defeated 23-6 by the Buffalo Bills. There’s plenty of blame to go around, so let’s take a look at this week’s nominees. Carson Wentz Wentz would’ve been more accurate if he was blindfolded last night. He consistently missed throws by 10+ yards. He’s had two starts this year and the team has score 15 points combined. The flash against Green Bay isn’t enough to give him another shot. Brosmer is the best QB on this roster. Last night had me longing for the Christian Ponder days. Kevin O’Connell This season is going to be a colossal waste of one of the best defenses the NFL has ever seen. There is nothing being done on offense to adjust. They can’t run or throw the ball right now. KOC doesn’t have much to work with at quarterback, but he’s had a major hand in putting this room together. Flores is almost certainly going to get a Head Coaching shot again this year, I hope it’s in Minnesota. Josh Metellus Metellus has been a weak spot on this defense. It feels like every time the Vikings give up a chunk play, Metellus is somewhere in the frame. Metellus has been a fan favorite for a long time, but he won’t hold that status very much longer playing like this. Wes Phillips Kevin O’Connell gets most of the blame for the offense, but Phillips has a job to do as well. There seems to be no adjustment to the players. He can’t help it when his QB can’t complete a 5-yard slant, but this entire season he has shown little ability to find any kind of offensive rhythm. The offense has no answers and the OC isn’t finding them anytime soon. GA Skol Star 1h Poll Daily Norseman Who is your Nincompoop of the Week?
