Re: Post Bears Game discussion

I found myself way less intense during this game than previous ones, especially the GB game. I think it's because this game made me realize that there's no reason to care so much about the outcome, because THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY this team does anything significant this year. Hope has left the bui...

Re: Post Bears Game discussion

I place most of the blame on Cousins. The defense didn't play great but they played well enough to win. A better quarterback would have made this competitive. Cousins looked like a scared rookie. We will probably be .500 and be stuck in QB purgatory unless they make some kind of big trade to get int...

Re: Early Bears Pre-Game Thread

A little off-topic but are the Lions...kind of good? I honestly don't know. I think they might be though?

Kyle Long is a stud when healthy. That's an advantage for the Vikings on the defensive side of the ball.

Re: Crucify the OC as well

Are we really still debating whether or not the Vikings offensive line is a liability in pass protection? Wow.

I'm not even mad at this point. I'm impressed.

Re: 2019 Pick 4 Schmoozing

Sorry about the tardiness guys, my dog passed on Wednesday and I was very close to her. It's been a very rough couple of days and I just haven't been able to focus. Plus we've sold our house and our moving into another one ... we're also helping some friends move. I should be back on track next wee...

Re: Crucify the OC as well

[ They have given up only 3 sacks this year and have the leading rusher. I don't think the Oline has been a significant issue so far. It isn't a good enough line to stop the Bears from getting to Cousins, but it has been good enough for the first three games. Prior to last week the Vikings allowed ...

Re: 2019 Season General Thread (News, Notes, Interviews, etc)

Makensize back at practice (individual)! :thumbsup:

Barr back (groin) and anticipates playing

Josh Kline not (consussion protocol) :gone: If he doesn't play, we get Elflein, Bradbury and Dozier in front of Cousins, who will die.
