... or perhaps win an extra game to go 11-5 and lose to Seattle in a playoff game without scoring a touchdown. Anything is possible! #perspective

I'm not really sure why you posted that or what you're trying to say but I guess you're right.

Do I really need to spell it out?

"... with Adrian Peterson and a slightly above average defense" isn't much different than what they had last year, except they got less from Peterson than in 2012 and more from a definitely above average defense.

It's the same story on repeat.

Exactly. Welcome to Vikings fandom, where last year's playoff pain prepares you for future playoff pain.

That's not bold, Mondry. Predicting the line won't suck would be bold! ;)

DP thought you would like this. :whistle:

Willie Beavers, who has primarily worked at OG, was working at LT today. #Vikings needed more bodies at the position with Kalil out.

Kalil is out again? Teddy is going to die.

Maybe Willie can just yell incoming to give Teddy a heads up.

I really thought Ponder was going to make it. I was really pulling for him because he's a nice guy and that's all that matters in NFL football. But with this QBR of 5.6 last night I've had to face the reality that it probably is never going to happen for Christian.

One note from this morning on @gmfb: The #KCChiefs have made teams aware that QB Aaron Murray is available via trade. A low-cost option.

late in games...

I'm told the #Chargers have released QB Zach Mettenberger.

Probably another question is will we go with 3 QB's this year?

I'll take him over Hill until Heineke is back.
