IIRC, there was a lot of head scratching going on with the Epps pick as most pre-draft analysts had him rated as not likely to be drafted. I figured Spielman had some insider info on him and took him based on that, and while he did make the roster, if he were really a better option, I doubt they would have made a move for Sendejo.
My guess is Epps will remain available and could easily be brought back if Spielman and Zimmer think that is their best move.
Eagles signed him immediately after we cut him.
That's too funny. We get Sendejo after he's cut by the Eagles and the Eagles get Epps after he's cut by the Vikings so they can sign Sendejo...
Other than being a healthy safety, was there something about Epps that you liked?
You have to remember - the coaches who worked with both Sendejo and Epps apparently would rather have Sendejo.

I assume Kearse will start or is he in jail?
Yes, according to Vikings.com, Kearse will start at safety.
I'm looking forward to seeing that. I think the guy is 6-4. Don't see too many S that tall. Will be hard to throw over him. Be nice if it turns out to be good. I just hope we get this win and stay healthy. Then we get a week off before a true test.

8-3 sounds almost too good to be true. I think Denver's D will cause problems for the Vikings offense. A little worried about Brandon Allen. He's decisive, not afraid to run, lively arm, looks really good. I see both teams almost being equal but I have to believe the experience of Cousins will be the difference in this game. I think Cook will be held under 100yds but Diggs goes off. Vikings win with another game ending defensive stance, 20-16.

How do we think Doctson is going to do today, if he's playing?
He'll either make a huge play--long bomb/ TD, or he won't even see the field. I'm guess it's the latter, as he's coming off of an injury and I think he's pretty far down the depth chart.

The bottom line is our team has played good this year overall. Unfortunately we let some get away that will cost us in the end. Everything is pointing to wildcard even if we make the playoffs. That's a tough gig no matter how it's sliced. We need the Pack to lose a few games and we can't lose any. What's the chance of that? We lose one and it's wildcard city for us. We don't even have the ty breakers so I think.
The was the worst first quarter at home I've seen in years, including the Bills game last year. No way they come back from that abomination on offense and defense.
