Re: Thoughts Week 2

Really? You think Newman did a worse job then Waynes? Waynes had a key INT, but the kid has no idea how to turn his head when the ball is coming. And I'd bet a lot of money hes going to be the main target of QBs when hes on the field. Newman had two bad plays in a row, but other than that he was pr...

Re: Packers @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 2

Clemmings may have actually been an upgrade over Kalil in this game. So sad.

Re: Thoughts Week 2

I don't think Rodgers is the same guy we saw a few years ago. Hes still one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but a few years ago he was head and shoulders above the other QBs and MVP caliber. He still shows flashes, but overall his play has fallen off. Packer fans will blame it on Jordy's inj...

Re: Does Peterson make the offense way to predictable?

Peterson may not call the plays, but his reputation and superstar status demands that we give him a certain number of touches. He and everyone around the organization expect him to be one of the most heavily used running backs. I don't blame Norv for this because he just plays his role in this. The ...

Re: Packers @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 2

Congrats guys, good game. You were handed the game on a ridiculously, inexplicably bad PI call, but that isnt your players fault, they played hard tonight for that W in Minny, see you later at Lambeau. We got called for several of them that had the same amount of contact, and yet you and many other...

Re: Packers @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 2

Waynes just turns around too late. The contact on some of these is pretty weak. If he just turns a little earlier he won't get called on those.

According to Around the NFLs tweet Mike Zimmer said Bradfords injury is just a bruise.

Could you post the link to where week 2 picks 4 is posted? I played last week, but can't find where week 2 picks need to be posted on your website.

Re: Vikings vs. Packers on SNF

It will be interesting to see the Packers defensive game plan. How much respect will they give Bradford? Will they sell out to stop the run like Tennessee did? I think they will because they trust their Dbacks enough, even if Shields is out, to pick up the slack. We are gonna need our WRs to be phys...

Re: Vikings vs. Packers on SNF

I've watched every packer game the past few years and admit that Mike Daniels is a fine player, but he's only a borderline pro bowl type guy. After he got his new contract last year his play dropped off a noticeable amount. Maybe it was injuries, but either way he has nothing on Linval. Linval consi...

Re: Vikings vs. Titans

Hearing some buzz on Twitter that Rhodes knee may keep him out. That would be a pretty big blow, but at least they don't have an elite WR that we need him to cover.

Re: Brian Murphy: Vikings have all their chips on the table

I'm fine with bottoming out every once in awhile if it is necessary to build a true super bowl contender. Look at all the young talent we have because of the rebuild after the Farve year. You need to pick your spots to go all in. Especially when you don't have a Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers to make yo...

Re: Rate my team 2016!

Yeah I didn't have much of a strategy other than to try and get some moderately priced guys (~$30, our total allotment was $200) rather than drop $60-$70 on one big superstar. That, and I was trying to bid people up on guys I didn't want. What I didn't realize is how many guys are left at the end t...

Re: 2016 Season Prediction

My predictions for the year: - Vikings finish 11-5 on the year and tie for the division with the Packers and get a first round bye based on tiebreaker. -Our oline is a pleasant surprise. The Boone effect makes Kalil look at least average and Smith is average on the right side as well. That's three o...
