Vikings Message Board.Com

The Vikes don't waste any time! I just received an e-mail from the team titled "Catch Teddy Time at TCF" inviting me to buy a 5 game ticket pack and earn new stadium priority.

All those passes to Wright today were the result of Teddy going through progressions and reading the defense correctly. Impressive for a rookie in his first start.

Rogers is going to be looking to pass 90% of the time. They cant get it going with Lacey. If Zimmer can figure out who/what needs to be in on 3rd downs for the D, we can win.


Teddy has about a million man crushes on him about now. What a poised, control presence. And there nothing wrong with that arm.

He had a 100+ QB rating in his start at GB last year and definitely played well enough for the Vikes to win. If he has to start, I plan to be rooting for him because I want the Vikes to win.

Packers aren't what people think they are. They're not that good....Or as good as people are used to. Vikings are winning. No doubts in my mind.

Lol.

I have another spine surgery tmw, and all I can think about is this win!

Agreed. The 3red down stops are going to be key.

Rhodes played a great game today

I am excited and anxious for Teddy Bridgewater today. The good thing is we are facing a sub-par defense. The bad thing is we seem to struggle against 3-4 defenses and our line has been playing poorly.

Well. I wasn't wrong. Thank God for Harrison Smith. Teddy Bridgewater is exactly who I thought he was - a freaking stud.

That being said, I was very disappointed and angry with the defense today. We won though, so I guess there is nothing else to say. SKOL Vikings.

I'm glad the Vikes took your mind off of it. Best of luck tomorrow!

Can't really ask for a better start for a rookie QB, made good decisions and even plays with his feet. I think he had maybe two bad throws today. I was pretty skeptical of McKinnon but I'm glad to see him step up (along with everyone else mentioned).

I think the biggest area of concern going into Thursday is the D-line, which is weird because it really should be a strength. Ryan had all day to pass and that was with a make shift line.

Oh yeah, and did Kalil get beat today? I don't remember any if he did, good for him.

Hope you have a speedy recovery

I'm really looking forward to rewatching that game!

To start with, gotta say Rhodes and Josh Robinson were awesome. Kalil did a great job. Teddy was great. Turner used my game plan so lots of praise to him!

Brian Robison should have done more against a TE, and Captain Munnerlyn had a few big errors.

I look forward to getting some more in depth film analysis...this one will actually be fun to watch repeatedly, unlike the last couple weeks!

The defense is a work in progress but they came up with some big stops and turnovers when they needed to today and despite the mistakes, I can cut them a little slack because they were facing the league's most productive offense (going into this week). They definitely have to eliminate those mental mistakes, missed tackles, etc.

Good luck, pray for you.

Even though it is WAYYYYYY early in his career, it would seem TB is the QB this franchise has been looking for since Tarkenton retired.
