2017 season game thread

well that stunk, turnovers killed us

felt like it was within reach the whole time we just couldn't take it. defense was great, offense just couldn't get going and when it did some dumb thing would stall it (turnovers, sacks, etc)

hopefully the injury wasn't anything serious with cook

Doesn't look good for Cook. And we gave that game away with all the fumbles, dropped interceptions and a missed FG.

crap, torn acl - out for the year. feel bad for him. he was off to such a great start

guess its good we got murray, now we really need bradford to come back

forgot floyd was active this week, we'll see how he does i guess

heard that bradford practiced this week, game time decision

I forgot about Floyd, it's good to have him back

sounds like bradford is going to be able to play, here's hoping he's effective

Bradford has looked brutal. It's a miracle we're not down more.

case came in and turned it around, weird ugly game but we escaped chicago with a win which is more than we can usually say

on to green bay, with our qb situation only going to get murkier with teddy getting close to getting off the pup list

Post #29 » by **Worm Guts** » Tue Oct 10, 2017 11:51 pm

Yeah I don't know what the Vikings should do. I don't know at what point the Vikings should feel comfortable putting Teddy in a game or if they even should consider it while Case is playing capably.
And Bradford with his mystery injury, who knows when or if he'll be back to 100%.

i think we have a few weeks before they have to start thinking about putting teddy in, but it still would seem weird throwing a guy in during the middle of the season - everyone has been going game speed for weeks and he'll likely have plenty of rust to shake off

Post #31 » by **Worm Guts** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 5:47 pm

Teddy is eligible to be off the PUP list next week. I would assume he would need a few weeks of practice before they consider playing him, but I would also assume if the Vikings think he's the best option and that he's healthy, then at some point he would play.

bradford, diggs, and easton are all out, so that's not great

great time for floyd to break out, and hopefully an injury on the oline doesn't throw off continuity

man i really hope we beat these guys

big win, and with rodgers out for several weeks (at least) the division is there for the taking

defense played great (circumstances aside), but case continues to look solid - and treadwell is even contributing!

Post #35 » by **Worm Guts** » Mon Oct 16, 2017 12:24 am

Obviously the door is wide open for winning the division now. We've got to win the next 2 weeks with games against Baltimore at home and against Cleveland in London, then we get a bye and some time to evaluate what we want to do at Quarterback.

Post #36 » by **Worm Guts** » Mon Oct 16, 2017 4:15 pm

Teddy has been cleared to practice

hermes · Post #37 » by **hermes** » Tue Oct 17, 2017 12:12 am

that loss to the lions is big now

hermes · Post #38 » by **hermes** » Tue Oct 17, 2017 12:14 am

yeah need to win these next two games

i'm also fine with riding the season out with keenum if he proves up to it. doesn't need to be spectacular with this defense, and there are some weapons around him

i'm really appreciative of the team that rick has constructed, there is a lot of depth - we've had major injuries but here we are in a position to compete, the packers have lost rodgers and it might be over for them

Post #39 » by **Worm Guts** » Tue Oct 17, 2017 12:17 pm

Whether we ride the season out or not with Keenum, it's pretty important to get either Bridgewater or Bradford back in some capacity. Right now we're an injury away from Kyle Sloter being our starting QB.

We couldn't afford to lose to both the Lions and the Packers at home, luckily we were able to beat the Packers. At least now we have a 1 game lead on the Lions.
