I think you are risking your good neighbor even for a Packer fan status, and rapidly approaching something entirely the opposite. Might want to consider shutting up for awhile.

You continue at this rate, and I for one, will "Foe" you. I suspect others would consider doing the same.

For stating my opinion? You really think im saying this to rile you up?

Im not understanding what is so outrageous about my perception of the situation, I think the Viking can adequately replace Bridgewater and compete for the division title with the correct course of action, why is this foe list worthy? It seems im more optimistic about the livelyhood of your team then most Minny fans.

It's a big dream but that's about what the Vikings need. Just when there was a sliver of hope about the Vikings improving their passing game, this happens. And let's not forget the offensive line probably still needs some work, which means any replacement QB better be able to scramble around to avoid pass rushers like Bridgewater did. They'll also need to be more decisive and get rid of the ball more quickly than TB did last season.

Whatever the case, this sucks. I like Bridgewater as a person and really feel bad for the guy. I was hoping this would be his breakout season.

I have to say the vikings are on of the few
things I really love. Today was one of the worst
days I have ever had, as a Vikings fan. I was trying
hard to not get to high on this season but the game
against the Charger game got me amped up. Now
the thought of Hill as our best option at QB ..

Let's not forget that even with Bridgewater out the Vikings still have 3 Qb's on the roster..... I don't think they do anything for the next few weeks. I would be surprised if they trade for anyone at this time.

Not the time Jordy. It's just too raw.

While not outrageous, there's a time and a place for everything and this is one of those "can't win" instances for you being that you are an opposing fan. There's a lot of posting with emotion right now, I think once the initial shock wears off people will be more inclined to discuss. Right now though, you're probably better off just taking a step back and letting people vent for a while.

Bottom line is, we need someone to manage a game. I'm not nearly as worried as some. We need a guy that can limit turnovers. We've been in this "we have no QB" position before in 2012 and didnt have nearly as good of a defense then. We have a great running game and a great defense. Sanchez worked wonders with that and so did Dilfer and Grossman. I liked what I saw out of Hill IN SEATTLE against their first team. He managed the game. I don't expect a 300 yard/3 TD game. If we can get 150 and 1-2 TDs, we'll be fine

Teddy didnt light the world on fire last year and we went 11-5 and won the north. And also had a playoff win if Blair didnt choke. Hill can throw for 14 TDS this year. The key is limiting the turnovers.

My one and only worry with Hill......facing pressure. I would LOVE to see Heinecke in action. I've loved the kid since day 1.

A wounded tiger is the most the dangerous .....anyone remember the Arizona game last year when we were missing the best player on every level of our defense? And were very close to beating them? The same Arizona that went to the NFC championship?

Like I said, I'm not nearly as worried as some. More pressure on AP and our defense but I truly believe in Zimmer and this team.

Hey guys RB2 could be QB1. He was in college. Lol. Just a wild idea.

Sparano is there too. Wildcat ftw?

This is just plain daft.
I'd have more faith in Jet replacing AD, than Hill replacing Teddy.
In the scheme of things, Teddy is much more important to the franchise. Especially as we have no depth at QB.
If Jet was the guy at RB, i'd still be talking SB push right now.

I never Hill could replace Teddy, but I think one maybe two back up QBs out there could for a season.

have you been thinkin about comin over to our side, jord? huh? come on, put on that purple, you know you want to deep down...

Praying for Ted to make a speedier than normal recovery: fate is an overall deal, but man do those stretches.

If the unit is fit to go to the super bowl, we will adapt to injuries and set backs like this: just play it cool and don't burn out.

GO MINNESOTA!

Zimmer talked with Parcells

Thanks for the link!

This stood out to me:

“I told him, ‘The first thing you need to know is this: Everyone in the organization, and that includes some of the players and the coaches, are going to think they have an excuse now,” Parcells said. “Once the shock is over, probably 48 hours from now, they’re all gonna come to you and look at you and say, ‘What are you gonna do?’ Because you’re charged with winning games now, no matter what you have on your team. You need to figure out what works—what recipe works. And tomorrow morning, once the shock wears off, nobody’s gonna give a s---. It’s his problem. He’s gotta figure out how to win now.”

That's exactly right and Zimmer knows it, as he demonstrated yesterday:

Zimmer pounded his left fist on the podium as he ticked off names of superstars and leaders he is counting on to galvanize the locker room.

“We have guys like Everson Griffen and Harrison Smith and Brian Robison and Anthony Barr and Kyle Rudolph and Adrian Peterson and Matt Kalil, (Joe) Berger, and Fusco, Andre Smith,” he said. “I can go down the line. I’ll take them with me any day.”

Zimmer’s message and tone were pitch-perfect in the immediate aftermath. The grinding work lies ahead.
