Re: The positives
Nuts. You're right. I thought it was only two. Wishful thinking I suppose. Let's keep trodding Zach Line out there!Eli wrote: I thought his suspension was for three games?

Re: The positives
Plus more turnovers forced by the defense and a defensive TD for Robison!dead_poet wrote:Week 2 Positives:
-Team health (no significant injuries)
-We get Felton back (in another week)
-Offensive line played the best they have all season in the second half (pass protection anyway)
-Ponder played his best football of the season in the second half
-Harrison Smith
-Patterson is a legit weapon on special teams
-Special teams KR blocking
-Locke had a better game (56.7 average on 3 punts, 2 downed inside the 20).
-2/2 on 4th down
-64 total plays
-Only 3 penalties
There was a lot to like in this game and plenty to dislike as well (but that's for a different thread).

So, after I educated you, and told you that the Giants went 0-2 to the Packers and Cowboys at the beginning of that year, you go back and edit your post specifically just to make it look like you knew in the first place?
Sad, just sad.

Re: The positives
No one edited any posts that I saw.... We had this exchange that was hopelessly messed up from properly nested quotes, but it went like this:
Then no one posts to this particular conversation until Randallio again contributes this about 5 hours later
Since you can only nest 3 quotes, we take that last one and carry on:Purple bruise wrote: Actually the Giants, most recently lost their first two games and went on to win the Super Bowl. I am not sure who those first two loses were against but I think it was Dallas and Green Bay.
And then starting with the last two above we conclude withPurple bruise wrote: I think you are correct and then beat the Packers and went on to win the Super Bowl.
So that's the whole thread. No one edited any posts. All posts are consistent that I can see *except* for this one where RandallioCobb18 was way off base:RandallioCobb18 wrote: Lol, was that the closest feeling you ever had to a Vikings SuperBowl?
Notice how Radallio misattributed my quote as though Purple Bruise said it, then failed to attribute the next two quotes to anyone. The only misquote I had to make above was to remove the close square braket on the close quote tokens, but above is an accurate representation of his post.RandallioCobb18 wrote: Actually the Giants, most recently lost their first two games and went on to win the Super Bowl. I am not sure who those first two loses were against but I think it was Dallas and Green Bay.[/quote
The 2007 Giants lost to Dallas in week 1, and Green Bay in week 2.[/quote
I think you are correct and then beat the Packers and went on to win the Super Bowl.[/quote
Lol, was that the closest feeling you ever had to a Vikings SuperBowl?

Only one sad thing going on here-- Packer fan trying to stir things up.... sigh...RandallioCobb18 wrote: ROFL.

Re: The positives
Thanks for clearing that up. The only thing worse than a Packer fan is a stupid trolling Packer fan.

Re: The positives
Positive: Ponder played a role in a "C'Mon Man" on ESPN. It was when Briggs was going to lay him out, but he let up a bit and Ponder took him out instead. Then, Cris Carter gave love to the Vikings for their effort against the Bears.
We'll get 'em next week. I'm not one to guarantee things, but I can almost guarantee it.

Re: The positives
They played the Ravens tough. It wont be an easy game at all. Esp. if bad Ponder shows up. The home crown will be out for blood if that happens.MelanieMFunk wrote:Positive: Ponder played a role in a "C'Mon Man" on ESPN.

Re: The positives
I hope you are right. I am one of those guys whose whole week is ruined when the Vikings lose. It makes all the other games played just blah. And to a division rival it hurts so much more. And there have been so many the last 3 years. I cant even fake optimism. I am glad you can though )MelanieMFunk wrote: I know this, but it doesn't change my POSITIVE opinion and outlook.
