McLeod Bethel-Thompson is your QB for Toronto in the Grey Cup. Former Viking training camp great.

The Vikings now have a -2 point differential. At 8-2.

They're frauds.

 

[Gophers_4life]

Put in the backup QB and all other important position players.

Concede now and rest up for the short week.

You won this week. Kudos

It’s downright comical how every time a MN team has a big win and is getting a ton of national recognition they completely lay an egg the next game.

It's our brand and we excel at it.

My Raiders/Cowboys parlay hit. Thanks Nathaniel Hackett. Enjoy your firing.

OK neat ... so you're saying one 3-40 loss negates a bunch of close wins?

 

[Ope3]

Good thing the Vikings are not in the NFC East, probably would finish no better than 3rd, perhaps worse.

However the Purple still have a 2 game lead for the #2 Seed in the NFC. There's your ray of hope for the weekend.

But back to the topic at hand:

..... it can't be that Darrisaw gets hurt .... and then the entire thing comes tumbling down like a house of cards ..... can it??

One player?


Dalvin Tomlinson missing probably hurts too.


Booth Jr reminds me of Mack Alexander. Same school

 

[howeda7]

12-5 will still likely be good for the #2 seed. This game likely means nothing.

Booth Jr did not play well, but I'm not ready to judge him yet. But down our 2nd and 3rd CB's against a good passing team was not good. And Brendl trying to block Parsons was just a disaster. Not that Darrisaw was doing much better. We would have lost in any event, but with Dantzler and Darrisaw it's probably something like the Eagles game and not an epic disaster.

 

[Gophers_4life]

How did the Packers beat this team??

I didn’t say that at all. It’s just very unique to be outscored overall but 8-2.

It shows the Vikings are very overrated. Point differential is heavily correlated with how good a team is. The Vikings are 8-2, butnare closer to a .500 team in terms of ability. They're not going to achieve much beyond winning the division.

 

[Gophers_4life]

Each game/week is almost completely independent from any other.

There is probably some 4-7 team that has more points. Good for them

He said they were going 5-12 or so. So he's relishing this and ignoring his embarrassing face plant.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

apparently after the game, O'Connell said Darrisaw will NOT play Thursday.

I am imagining Bill Belichick watching the film of this game and drooling as he schemes to go after the Vikes' O-Line.

expect every stunt, twist and gimmick known to man.

Why would you need to stunt or twist, when any NFL starter can go around Brandl like he isn't there??

Just straight rush 4 and ... yikes.


Is there a chance Darrisaw was rushed back and could be done for the year?



This would be the most Vikings ever. Go from 8-1 to 8-8 because your starting LT goes out for the year.

LMAO!

It sure is. Educate yourself on advanced metrics.

Judon against this o-line sans darrisaw has a chance to ruin my thanksgiving.

You would've posted the link, so we could all get that good good that you're on

The difference is the Pats don’t really have the ability to pile on points like the Cowboys. Even if the OL is getting rag-dolled in pass pro, the score should hopefully be low enough that they will be able to continually run, which they were doing at least competently today before they had to completely abandon it.

Always unlikely to get an injured guy back on a short week, especially a concussion. Hopefully he's back in two weeks

Exactly why they could easily be 2-8

 

[Gophers_4life]

Is there any possible way we can pick up someone who can actually play tackle?

Would we consider moving O'Neil to LT?

Play rookie Vederian Lowe (6th round from Illinois)? Can he possibly be worse than Brandl?

Grandma could easily have balls. Then she'd be Grandpa.


GTFO with that weak ass trash
