Dead last

This should come as no surprise, but the Vikings offense is the NFL's worst inside the red zone. What's alarming is that the Vikings are worse than the Oakland Raiders.
The Vikings have the fifth fewest red zone trips, and they are tied with the Raiders for the fewest red-zone touchdowns (five).
Their conversion percentage of 25.0 is worse than the Raiders, who have converted 29.4 percent.
Vikings coach Brad Childress downplayed the impact of WR Marcus Robinson last week. But the Vikings are 0-4 without him in the lineup. And given the disappearance of WR Troy Williamson (one pass intended for him, no catches Sunday), the Vikings need help at that position.
Given their play, the Vikings may have the worst set of receivers in the entire league. Anyone dispute that?

Sounds like Childress isn't going to make any wholesale changes to the offense. Sorry to disappoint you all.

I'll dispute that. The Vikings don't have the worst set of receivers in the league, they have the worst quarterback in the league. This was clearly evident when Brad badly under-threw a wide open Billy McMullen in the 2nd Qtr on Sunday for a TD (hey, it's the only way we can score an offensive TD). I can name a handful of other similar pass plays this year. My seven year old nephew has a stronger arm!
