Re: Contender or Pretender: Next 5 games

@mansquatch i was more probing for you to add to your post, im more of a lurker than a poster. But I posted about the Carolina game above, not much more to add. As far as us being top of the NFL by week 13, tonite game could have a large influence on that. It will be good to have a solid win going i...

Re: Contender or Pretender: Next 5 games

Apologize, my comment was not meant as a slight. you just said yourself that the Browns are irrelevant, so maybe you should have done the next 4 games after the bye. Those are the games that your post is truly about. And I agree with the premise of your post as it pertains to those 4 games. I am exc...

Re: Contender or Pretender: Next 5 games

I think this should be for the 5 games after the BYE. 4 tough road games and probably our toughest home game. Next week should be a win, good teams beat bad teams, but we have already been doing that this season so next week shouldn't show us anything as long as we win convincingly. I think by the t...

Only saw it once but it looked like he was hurt pretty bad.

Re: Week 7 Reaction Thread

Murray had an alright game, eh PHP? I enjoyed the game. The wiff thought it was boring, with all the field goals. (She was distracted by some of her family that was over). Forbath... excellent on FGs horrible on PAT... Sendejo needs to learn when to hold up a bit. Keenum is serviceable only because ...

Re: Week 6 reaction thread

Honestly, I think Murray is still a little hobbled. He looked good on his 2 decent runs on Sunday. He runs straight forward and seems to go down upon first significant contact. I cant argue against that. Hard to say if it is because he is still hurt or if he is just hesitant to push himself out of ...

Re: Week 6 reaction thread

As far as Mckinnon vs Murray. I have to lean towards agreeing with PHP on this. Many of PHPs points have been things i have thought about myself. It has only been a couple games that we have seen the Mckinnon and Murray show and Mckinnon has been hotter and has had the better stats and bigger plays ...

Re: Biggest surprise player so far

Reiff, he went from RT the last couple years to LT and his name doesn't get said much (a good thing if you are OL)

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,

Also, @ Grasshoppa: I think it's highly unlikely that we will have our top 3 QBs ready to play in a few weeks. I was more looking forward to 2018. (couple weeks jsut being when Teddy was available again) AD is an exception, not the norm. I'd honestly put the odds at 50-50 on both Bradford and Teddy...

Re: Week 5 Reaction Thread

Could have been a blowout if CK started. Safety never would've happened and who knows about the trick plays/ luck that the Bears had on their side. Reffing was a wash or in our favor. The bears had a TD and 2 or 3 other big plays nullified by penalty. 2nd half was more enjoyable that the first half ...

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,

Several teams are hurting at WR. (Giants, Bears...) I wonder if we should be shopping Treadwell, Wright, Adams.... (not Coley, I like him).

In a couple weeks we are going to have 3 starting QBs, i cant recall the vikings ever having that problem. (in the past 25 years at least)

Re: Week 4: Detroit Lions VS Minnesota Vikings discussion

I just want to see Harrison Smith blow up Golden Tate.... I agree that this is our biggest game of the season so far. This is the game where we have to "prove it". I am looking forward to all the divisional match ups coming up in the next few weeks, in 3 weeks it will be more clear who is ...
