Everything You Want to Know: Bud Grant's Vikings

I did this for Redit and thought I'd share it here It has been said that losing hurts more than winning feels good. Most of the time Winning doesn't feel remarkable, it feels like the natural flow of events, something that should happen. Victory is weighed by it's absence. The loser of a contest ca...

Re: I was wrong

This season has been an odd one. At some point a fan of each team has said "My team is absolute garbage" and they were correct at the time.

Re: Another Ponder Thread

Was playing Madden (MUT) and decided to play Vikings versus Vikings. Matt Cassel was the starter for the computer (well, Ps3) version of the Vikings. He got hurt and I thought "Oh, good, it's Teddy Time". Ponder came in instead and I called a blitz. He immediately threw the ball to nobody ...

Re: Xavier Rhodes: May not be that good?

On another message board a fan familiar with Cincinnati in essence said that Zimmer would make the CB's play like all pros in a short time. It might happen.

Atlanta is crawling downfield and the Vikes are flying downfield. So far, advantage Vikings.

Re: I believe the Vikings are a playoff caliber team

I would put some of the lackadaisical play down to the Peterson story. The heart of the team wasn't there today, with AD being gone and more to the point, being involved in troubling circumstances. Week one the Rams were dealing with losing a star player and the results were similar. If Tom Brady ge...

Re: Why two fullbacks? Zimmer says they're hard to find

One of the nice things about having an offense that is contrary to the crowd is that nobody will really be practiced in stopping you.

Re: Vikings v. Raiders Game Thread - August 8th

I don't see the point of having Ponder in other than to use up trash time. I would have kept Bridgewater in. They may have decided they have enough teachable moments and to not get him hurt. My wife asked me how it was going and I told her it was first day of school on a grass classroom - a bit roug...

Re: Sidney Rice retires

I really, really hate to admit this, but when I posted the thread I momentarily got Sidney Rice confused with Percy Harvin.

I will now find some way to do penance.

Honestly, that would only encourage him. He's an ex-player doing this slow evolution into Social Justice Warrior and media whore.
