Vikings up 16-3. The Vikes  defense is playing very well.  (Knock on wood) You were on to something @chad72.

 

The offense is playing well too. And the officials are finally calling holding against GB offensive linemen.

 

The broadcasters shared that the Vikings have led by 7 or more in every game but we are only 3-6. :facepalm:  Hopefully we win this game.

Lol. I know Cousins and my team. The game is tied at 31. We have the ball with a little over 2 min left. GB just committed a penalty. It is First and 5. Why are we throwing a deep ball? All we need a FG to win.

 

Cousins throws what appears to be an INT. But it is reviewed and called incomplete. Thank goodness. Guys, there is no need to rush. Milk the clock and get a FG.

Why are they throwing?? Run the ball. Don't leave time for Aaron to come back.

 

Ok. Cook ran. Run the ball some more.

 

Okay. They are taking two knees. The kicker will try a FG. Definitely not guaranteed. 2 seconds left. This is the game.

figures. They are going to win their division anyway so it really doesn't hurt us. We need the the Steelers, Browns, and Bengals to lose.

 

Did the Titans lose? Colts should try to win the division. I think they have a good chance. 

 

Ya Gotta Believe!

 

Signing out now. Enjoy the late afternoon games.

I’m shocked they won without Lamar and Brown. Half the starting line up is out with injuries. I’ll take it.

I was thinking we probably need Steelers to lose tonight to give them that 4th loss.

Yes Texans beat them. Titans lost brown in the game. Don’t know if he came back in.

I would rather the Steelers win. The steelers do not look good overall, and I expect they will start losing a lot more. I would rather the Charges get the extra loss today

I like Herbert. In college and in pre-draft talk, he was compared to Andrew Luck. He excelled academically. Some were concerned that because he has many interests outside of football like Luck did, he may not commit to a long career in the NFL. We won't know until years later. I like what I see.

Whatever happened to OL Forrest Lamp? He was drafted by the Chargers. Many fans wanted their respective teams to draft him. I know he was injured his first season but I did not hear anything about him since.

 

In that same draft, the Chargers also drafted Dan Finney who was also highly thought of. He is with the Jets now, I believe.

The chiefs moving Jones back inside and less Sorensen has their defense competing at a high level


True. Mahomes is happy to be a game manager like Alex Smith for now, plus the Chiefs OL is a better run blocking unit than pass blocking unit. :)

If you get him beat up without investment in OL, yes I can see that, which is what we did with Luck in the Grigson era. The Chargers seemed to have invested enough in the OL now and Slater is coming along real well at left tackle for them.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
