I miss Eric Kendricks, among my favorite recent Vikings players.

He just did, with a catch & fumble!

 

Still a great player.

[chad72]

I don’t know about you guys. When they play their best, I’d say this year’s best version of 49ers and Eagles are better than this year’s best version of Chiefs and Ravens. Those are the Top 4 to me.

Man I really prefer the powder blue colors for the Chargers over the dark navy. 

 

41 minutes ago, NFLfan said:

Me too. But the dark navy is the traditional one. No?

Actually, the Powder Blues are their more traditional uniform from their days in the AFL.

Ah. Okay. I only remember the Chargers from back when Stan Humphries was the QB. I remember the dark uniforms. But I prefer the powder blue ones. They are among the favorite of uniforms in the NFL.

The Powder Blues have always been their "throwback" uniforms, and perhaps the best looking ones of any NFL team as some of those throwbacks are absolutely hideous!

Buffalo can win this game but they are making so many mistakes. The Eagles are not playing well.

 

How did Denver suddenly become good? They beat the Bills, Vikings and are beating a very good Cleveland defense.

Denver beat the Chiefs before the Bills game.

 

They've always been ferocious defense, not afraid to injure players or themselves, fitting for Payton. That produces some turnovers, they're good in coverage too. 

 

Russell Wilson has been playing very well in this stretch, he's started to rush a lot like old days too.. so, both of their units are working well. 

 

Vikings could've beaten them if they had rushed often as it was working, Vikings just made more mistakes themselves. 

[VikingsFanInChennai]

Ravens offense is sulking in the second half...

 

They've lost all 3 games of this season when their offense went silent and collapsed making mistakes in final quarter. 

[VikingsFanInChennai]

I have less Lamar, Keaton Mitchell and Beckham in fantasy... Was going well, now going through a lull

Losing Andrews really hurt them.

[NFLfan]

I hope the Vikes beat the Bears tomorrow. We can't go to the bye having lost two straight.

That light blue with the yellow just pops. One of my favorites besides the Colts of course. 

Herbert with more yards than Ekeler right now…

[Lancer1]

Tucker misses the 49 field goal attempt, giving the Chargers good field position.

Even the best will miss some for sure. Still over 90% I think.

Yeah, and the Ravens defense held, forcing the Chargers to turn it over on downs with less than 2:00 remaining and still trailing by 3.

[NFLfan]

The Chargers have some good skill players. They should be scoring more points than they have.

[RollerColt]

Turn out the lights, the party’s over. Good night all, Ravens are in the drivers seat. 

[Lancer1]

The Ravens cap it with a long touchdown run, now they lead by 10 with a minute & 1/2 remaining - the Bolts are about to be 4-7, and on the verge of elimination from postseason contention.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I believe this win for ravens puts them at 1 and moves KC to two. Which means as of now colts would be in a matchup with KC.

They should, and Kellen Moore may be the next OC to be fired.

They had high hopes for him. Some thought Moore should have gotten a head coaching job.

I'm sure he thought so too, and he probably figured that going from Dallas to LAC and switching from calling plays for  Dak Prescott to Justin Herbert would probably lead to that.

For sure.

 

I was just thinking about their team. The WR from Clemson is out. It made me think of Vincent Jackson, a long time Charger. I was watching an interview with his widow. His life really took a downturn after retirement. He was found to have CTE.

That would be Mike Williams, he was their best deep threat and real good on 50/50 balls.

Yeah, I forgot his name. Is he out for the year? I really wonder why that team has not played better. I guess we can table that.

I will call it a night. Have a good night/day, everyone.

Yes, he has a history of being injured and has missed games in most of his seasons but he did record an interception in 2020 against Denver on a Hail Mary play.

He was one of the main reasons Herbert had big day in beating Minnesota in week 3, and looks like he went to IR after that. 

[NFLfan]

Fields looked really good in that first series but the kicker missed the FG.

Sacked, 3 and Out. 

[RollerColt]

The Chicago Chipmunks have 0 NFC North wins in 2 years…

Yes, Vikings went 3 and out after the Bears had a long drive.

 

Fields looks good in this series too.

Playing for his life and career. I wonder where he’ll be next season.

[Arodgers12]

Vikings might be having a hangover from that Broncos loss.

[NFLfan]

Bend and don't break defense.

The Colts lol just kidding

He is a lot better than some of the QBs playing now. He will have a job.

There were some wanting us to trade for him. 

[NFLfan]

The Vikings will need a QB but I want us to draft one.

Would you want him in Indy?

[NFLfan]

Picked by my guy Jaylon Johnson. I wanted the Vikings to draft him.
