No, they've been beaten by better teams the years they haven't gone. It wasn't good enough those years.
Football is the team sport of all sports. A great QB does not definitively make you better than every other team.
Not really. They've gone to the playoffs nearly every year and, aside from the year they won the Super Bowl, they've always lacked something major, be it a solid defense, running, or OL.
They've haven't had a Super Bowl caliber team aside from that one year. That falls mostly on Ted Thompson...
Listen, I want Teddy to play at some point and show that he's got the guts to sling it downfield. You can't be a game manager with this Vikings offense. There's too much talent. Being strictly a game manager means that that talent isn't being used to its full capacity. Case may not be what...
Xavier, Elflein, Smith, Barr, Kendricks, Hunter, Stephen, I'd even throw Waynes in there at this point because he's playing quite well, Rudolph, Diggs, Bridgewater (you ca't foresee that knee injury), McKinnon, signing Thielen, signing Joseph, signing Reiff, signing Remmers, signing Murray...
Rick Speilman has been outstanding everywhere as a GM. The Ponder pick is arguably the only disaster pick in his tenure, though I'd consider Willie Beavers pretty bad, too. Other than that, his draft picks have only ever failed due to unforseen circumstances. You can't predict Shariff Floyd's...
I didn't want to believe it, but after the past 4 games, I'm starting to think Case Keenum might actually be a good quarterback in this offensive system. With these weapons around him. With this offensive line in front of him. I don't think he's successful at all in a shittier environment, but...
I thought maybe Fells had control of that ball from the top with his hand as it hit the ground. Kind of a funny bounce. Not sure if that should have been a TD or not
As much as I want Teddy to come in and morph into the intermediate surgeon that he really should be, I don't believe he can do the downfield stuff that Keenum can, and I like Keenum's short to intermediate velocity more than Teddy's. What remains to be seen is if Keenum is simply on a good...
Taking a shot here--Treadwell scores his first NFL TD tomorrow. He keeps blocking very well. He keeps getting snaps. He keeps getting targets. With no whining. Tomorrow is the day.
