4 sacks today makes us 1 or 2 for most sacks in the league.

That was a game I never had in doubt for the Vikings.

Scherels with the run back, all field goals and extra points made, stopped an onside kick, forced them to kick a 50+ yard field goal that was missed. Great punt and kick coverage! great everything. Fantastic special teams!

After 4 games of Bradford without so many crucial players but able to have that great connection with Thielen, I am sitting here going "Teddy who? Bradford isn't even 30!"

Magnificent game!

Glad to see Thielen step up big with nice support from Wright & Patterson. Did the Texans convert a 3rd down? Maybe on that last drive but before that, I don't think they did. Truly amazing!

One third down conversion

Bradford: 22/30 for 271 yds. 2 TD's

Not too shabby!

Aside from Diggs, Thielen is the team's best receiver. He should be a starting with Diggs from now on.

Patterson should be the starting #3 WR.

That hit me like Zimm's smelling salt.

all those,penalties at home was pretty ugly. Rhodes is a flag magnet. Half of what he does is legal but he still gets scrutinized so hard and hit with everything. The defense penalties are especially crippling since so many of our defense penalties either gave yards for third and fourth down under 5 to be first downs along with sutomstic first down penalties.

We are usually very disciplined and top 10 in fewest penalties, least yards, etc. So that will be a big focus from Zimmer in this bye week I feel.

What Brock will be seeing in his dreams tonight:

Regarding Rhodes just look at the three receivers he's had to cover the past three weeks! You're not going to cover those guys 1on1 for 60 minutes without a flag or two.

almost as good as OBJ and the vikings kicking net man who ever comes up with this stuff is brilliant.

Zimmer at his presser:

Mike Zimmer: We have to clean up these penalties though. I’ve gotta get on these guys and keep them headed in the right direction.

Those two guys in the top left are absolute monsters!

LOL!!!

With the way Bradford has been playing so far this year I don't think there are too many QBs in the entire league I'd rather have playing for us right now. Such a bizarre thought. I'm a Teddy fan but realistically I'd still rather have about half the league starting currently for our team over him. Bradford? Brady, Ryan, Big Ben, maybe Rodgers - that's about it.

I'd take stafford, big ben and maybe ryan.
