Well, I thought they pretty much looked like a team that skipped preseason. No excuses for this ill prepared team, it’s the definition of Vikings insanity…!

I am open to seeing how Wyatt Davis is at center…

DJ Reader is 6'3 347....

IT was going to be a matter of how much Bradbury struggled.

Yep, MB mentioned this earlier as well. Tough matchup. But this happens to Bradbury more often than I think the team is liking. Reader is going to make come centers look bad.

Bradbury turned into Elflein 2.0

I dont think thats remotely possible this season, unless disaster struck.

I used to think it was just The Bears and Ravens that were loaded @ DT.

Vikings lining-up big bodies like Pierce and Tomlinson is ALMOST the norm these days...I think you posted a similar take earlier this week..

Dalvin was down. definitely down. But its good money for the NFL if Joe Burrow can come back and win
I tend to agree, but honestly I also get why it wasn't overturned. Replays weren't 100% solid. Vikings had too many penalties.
this “excuse” that replays were not valid is very annoying. its a cop out (note this is not geared towards you but the NFL). if something is not conclusive the down should be replayed.You cant say something is not conclusive then go with the call that caused the review in the first place.
The review is done because they want to verify that the right call was done. If more than 4 people review something using many views and angles and cant determine that the call was definitive, the down should be replayed. The initial call can not and should not be the fall back outcome. lets not talk about the timeouts being lost by challanging something the referees should have got right.
This is not a vote for Zimmer and co for I have said time without number that the game has passed him by. His philosophy is archiac

The thing I can't stand is when the ref calls the play a specific way that's against their instincts because it allows the play to be reviewed, and then the camera angles suck, so they get the call wrong because it can't be overturned. With replay, they should be allowed to change anything to make it right, so they can call it the best they can the first time round.

If Cincy hadn't went for it on 4th down in their own end it probably would have been worse.

After how bad Bradbury was yesterday, I am honestly not sure if he's better than Davis. I would like to see with my own eyes. Also, we need Darrisaw to get healthy because Rashod Hill gave me nightmares of Samia/Dozier out there
