  Zim Goes Vanguard in Presser

“If you’re going to the ground the ball can’t move. Period,” Zimmer said. “I don’t want to get into it, but I kind of know what a catch is. I’ve been doing it for a long time. If the ball moves this much, it’s not a catch [even though] the guy caught it. Hey, I don’t care.”

  ReWatching the Panthers game. Or.. The things we do to ourselves.
Posted by: Poiple - 12-20-2017, 08:41 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (1)

Over all it wasnt a terrible performance but those key plays, usually a mistake by one player changes the course of a pretty good game.
Rudolph dropped pass, Kendricks miss a gaping hole with Stewart going through it to the EZ.  Hill at RT whiffing on Peppers on 3rd and 2.  A TD catch the coulda shoulda woulda.  Mostly I am surprised how Newton had his way with these guys most of the afternoon. Is he really that good or did the Vikes call a bad game or repeatedly make mistakes?
But even with all of that there was some very good football.  A luxury we have come to expect after so many years of mediocrity.

Id like another shot at these guys on our turf.

snippet - The Minnesota Vikings play the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, and if the Vikings lose, the Eagles will clinch the top spot in the conference. If the Vikings win, then the Eagles will have to beat Oakland to clinch the top spot.

The Eagles, however, should be treating these last two games of the regular season like preseason games No. 3 and No. 4.
The third preseason game is considered the dress rehearsal for the regular season. So give Foles and the key starters the first half against the Raiders, then pull them in the second half.
None should play in the regular season finale against Dallas, which is what happens in the final preseason game.
As devastating as Carson Wentz's season-ending knee injury was to the Eagles, an injury to Foles would be even worse. Nate Sudfeld is the only other quarterback on the roster, and he has never played in an NFL game.

  Vikes Go From 1.5 to 9 Point Favorites
Posted by: HappyViking - 12-20-2017, 03:13 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (12)

Rogers makes quite a difference in the point spread, eh?

Looks like the Vikes need to stay focused this game.  Now the betting world thinks the Vikes will take care of things in a big way Saturday night.  In past years, games like this always made me nervous.  Not this year, with this team and coaches.  I expect a Viking team primed and ready to "bring it" for a fun Saturday night show.

  ESPN's Courtney Cronin Profiles the Viking Pro Bowl Snubs
Posted by: Tom Moore - 12-20-2017, 01:39 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (19)

Courtney is our beat writer for the Vikings at ESPN and she is very good at her job and has great takes on our team, and not always pro, she sees the flaws too.

Here is what she said about the 4 players she thought should have gotten the Pro Bowl nod from the Viking squad (we think Pat Elfin deserved a Pro Bowl selection too)

SNUBS

Harrison Smith, S: Um. How? Smith, who made the Pro Bowl the past two years, is ranked as the No. 1 safety by Pro Football Focus and has made his case for the NFL’s defensive player of the year award. This snub leaves many, including this writer, very confused.

Case Keenum, QB: His name has been thrown around as a possible MVP candidate but Keenum didn’t crack the top 10 among quarterbacks in voting. The Vikings are one of two playoff-bound teams with quarterbacks who weren’t starting in Week 1, and Keenum has been a major reason the Vikings have been able to maintain the success they’ve had this season. Keenum has the third-highest Total QBR among eligible quarterbacks and is completing a career-high 67.9 percent of his passes this season.
Eric Kendricks, LB: You know who has more tackles than Anthony Barr? Eric Kendricks. The third-year linebacker has 60 tackles, a sack and the Vikings' only pick-six of the season. His coverage skills have improved immensely from 2016 to now and Minnesota is essentially set at middle linebacker for the foreseeable future.
Linval Joseph, DT: Find a better run-stopping nose tackle in the NFL. You know why teams are terrified to run on the Vikings' defense? Because of the 329-pound anchor in the middle of the No. 2 run defense in the NFL. Joseph is an athletic freak. He has a rare combination of high-powered athleticism, power, strength and technique. He made the Pro Bowl last year and should have been a sure bet this season. Just ask the guards and centers whose lives he has made a living nightmare this season.
