Steelers @ Vikings, Thursday Night Football, 12/9/21

[NFLfan]

 

Dalvin Cook is going to play with a shoulder that was dislocated a week and a half ago. I don't like it. I have dislocated my shoulder and I was advised to rest it and keep it in an immobilizer for 6 weeks. I can't believe we are allowing him to play. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Good luck to the Vikings. Hopefully Watt doesn’t wreck the game with Darrisaw out.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If that has been Reich and most coaches they would of went for it there. 

[NFLfan]

I like going for it on 4th Down, especially if we really don't have much to play for.  We play too conservative.

Hi @Dunk 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Uhg.. can't be getting this mad on a weekday.. I hate letting up big yardage on 3rd and long.. come on vikings!!

[Dunk]

Hi NFLfan,

I am watching and for sure hoping your Vikes take the Steelers out tonight

[NFLfan]

How does a Steelers loss or victory tonight affect the Colts chances at the postseason?

[Dunk]

Nice missed it

Helps us in the wild card race. We would have one more win than them.

Helps. Right now Pitt is in the 8th spot, and the Colts 9th. 

Really, I'm cheering for any NFC/AFC matchup to go the NFC way right now lol....

 

Go Vikes!!!

[EastStreet]

holy cow what a bad D call by Pitt.

I hope the Colts win their division and won't need help from other teams. Both the Colts and the Vikings should have better records. The Vikings have led in every game this year -- I think by at least 6 points each each.

Hey, East Street, I was going to summon you. 

 

TD. 

[EastStreet]

JJ totally smoked that DB. The picked helped lol, but so great off the line on crossing routes

[NFLfan]

This kicker is killing me. 

[Dunk]

There we go, but what's up with the kickers tonight?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wow. Another missed kick.

 

I have nor watched MN play much but wow Cook can fly. Nice balanced drive by Vikings.

I am wondering the same. This is a dome stadium. They can open it but I am sure it is freezing in MN. 

[JediXMan]

Did they swap in college kickers for both teams lol.

[Chrisaaron1023]

That kicker needs some milk

Yup He already had him beat, but the pick added a step or two of openness.

He is doing it with a dislocated shoulder. I dislocated my shoulder in college. It is so painful. It dislocated many times afterwards. It hurts for at least 6 weeks.

[NFLfan]

Harry the Hitman!! Is it out??

[Dunk]

That is close. Hope they can't overturn it

I thought about you this week and was definitely going to pop in for this one. You know I have a little Vikes love lol.

And looks like you just got forced fumble by one of my ND fellas vs one of my other ND fellas...

I gotta cheer for all the ND guys, but definitely cheering for a Vike's W

How did you dislocate it?

[NFLfan]

Any of you Notre Dame fans? Harry the Hitman is from ND. Have they replace Coach Kelly?

[EastStreet]

He's just so darn clean off the line on those slants. 

DBs don't really stand a chance unless they get help. 

That's the kind of routes I wish they would let TY and Dulin run. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That ball came out right when his knee hit. So close.

[JediXMan]

Claypool is having a awful game lol.

Yup. Promoted DC Marcus Freeman. Good promotion. Liked BK, but he had done all he could for ND. 

 

Harry is from ND, and the guy that almost fumbled (Chase Claypool) is from ND too. I don't really like it when those two are going after each other lol.

I was swimming, doing a back float. The orthopedist called it an "atraumatic" injury, which means that it may not have been corrected with surgery. He said I would most likely dislocate it at another time. My dad had a weak left shoulder too. 

 

It has not dislocated in several years now.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Steelers defense does not look good.

[EastStreet]

Another slant. MN will kill them all night if they don't give help. 

Could be a huge night for JJ.

He seems to do a lot of dumb immature stuff.

Wow! Glad it hasn't and hope it never does again.

I have a bad (not horribly bad) right shoulder. Between a couple broken collar bones and too much sports when I was a kid, I have various issues with it from time to time. Mostly just soreness when lifting weights. The more consistently I work out though, the better it is. Doc said the best thing to do is keep the muscles in that area good and strong. I still play racquet ball, but likely going to give up softball unless I can just play 1B. No more 3rd or outfield for me, that's for sure.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The announcers are right. Steelers played a really physical game Sunday. Hopefully that helps the Vikings.

[NFLfan]

Let's not sit on this lead.

I agree.
