*The hard fact is, this team hasn't got a clue right now*. .......and sadly Tomlin doesn't either. No leadership, No direction.

OK, hey, just stick with that, then. Because the rest of us must be blinded by all the times the Vikings threw deep against isolated corners.
If, for another example, Mike Adams can't even serve as a turnstile against the Vikings' terrific Jared Allen — a turnstile at least slows you down — um, why did he play?
I asked Tomlin: “You know, when Ramon Foster went down, Kelvin Beachum was playing guard. In terms of the people that we intended to be prepared to play this week, it's only a certain number who can. Anybody else we'd have put in would have been below the line in terms of preparation.”
Say what?
That's a clear reference to Guy Whimper, the backup tackle who by logical extension must be the world's worst at what he does to live below the Adams line.
But why fuss over Whimper's first-team reps when Adams was flat-out giving up on plays?
He occasionally conceded a path to the franchise's $102 million quarterback!
On the game's penultimate snap, with Allen his obvious assignment just to his left, Adams went to his right to double-team some other guy!
Never mind accountability for a disintegrating second-round bust. How about actual in-game accountability?

Don't worry, the pom pom wavers will come running and tell you how everything is just fine.
