After a fast start, the Minnesota Vikings have been reeling the last couple of weeks. The problem? The offensive line is in shambles.

In particular, the Vikings have been decimated at the tackle position. Matt Kalil, Andre Smith, and Mike Harris are all on injured reserve, and Alex Boone is dealing with a concussion.

The defense was always going to carry this team, but they need some production from the offense. Sam Bradford simply doesn't have enough time to find his targets down the field right now.

Over the last two weeks, the Vikings have given up 11 sacks. Bradford won't be able to stay on the field much longer at this rate.

Turning to Craigslist

Taking matters into his own hands, one Vikings fan has turned to Craigslist with an advertisement asking for offensive line help. Here's what it says:

Tackle Needed!!!

Desperately looking for someone to occupy either end of our offensive line to protect Sam Bradford and, if possible, open some holes for our running backs. Experience preferred but not needed. You are guaranteed at least 8 working days, possible more in January based on performance. YOU MUST WORK SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS! Unfortunately, due to salary cap limitations, we will be hiring on a volunteer basis only.

No calls please, emailed resumes and game tape only!

Skol,
