I'm probably considered a "Zim Basher". His team exceeded my expectations today and I'm happy to admit it and happy for the win.
He better win the next two, of course...

What's really great is the ESPN headline about the game:
http://www.espn.com/blog/minnesota-vikin...-nfc-north "Vikings beat hobbled packers team..." Yeah, the Vikings weren't hobbled at all. No Bradford. No Bridgewater. No Cook. No Diggs. No Easton. Barr left early with a concussion. So, you know, two starting quarterbacks, (arguably) their two best offensive players, their starting left guard, and then one of their key defensive players. The Packers were without Rodgers, Bulaga, Bahkarti, Taylor, and Rollins. Yes, it's tough to have good line play with a bunch of injuries and shuffling, but that's something the Vikings dealt with the past three or more seasons. I guess I don't have much sympathy. Further, Rollins is absolute garbage and there's been talk of him losing playing time in the slot... except they don't really have anyone better. So, yeah, I guess it's really just Rodgers. And, based on how aggressive the defense was today and how many times Hundley got immediate pressure and was hit the remainder of the game, maybe Rodgers should be happy he left Minnesota with just a broken collarbone.

Great win. I am pleasantly surprised. The defense actually dominated like a top 5 D should, especially at home and against an unprepared back up ( although they did give Rodgers a hard time, too). But 6 games does not a season make.
Plus, we still dont know who the QB will be in 2018 despite all of the draft picks spent on that position between 2011 and 2016. That's NOT good no matter HOW you choose to spin it. But, I know you tough guys enjoy crowing after individual wins. I'll reserve my final comments on the 2017 season once the 2017 season is over. But there are NO EXCUSES going forward. The division is there for the taking and with all the talent on the Vikings' roster, as I've been hearing for 3-4 years now, the division crown should be a cake walk. Enjoy bashing me this week.....I sincerely hope you can continue to do so in February of 2018. We'll just have to see what ACTUALLY transpires. Nighty nite!

I am pretty sure we were without our starting QB, WR, RB, S, and G.....

For this game, yes...

Pretty astounding being 4-2 right now for the Vikings considering everything. Could be 5-1 without that sleep walk episode against Detroit.

Starting backfield gone = no excuses...gotcha...

Quote: @njvike said:You really must live a miserable life. They just beat the Packers to go to 4-2 in a division (and, honestly, a conference) that has no real favorite. The offensive line looks fixed. The defense is humming. I guess you can sit around and wait for 2018 to see what actually happens. Maybe you could also just sit around and see what actually transpires in 2019 and 2020 as well. Or maybe 2021. Or, better yet, maybe just stop watching all together and buy an almanac in 2030 to look back on what actually transpired. I'm not too worried about the quarterback situation. This is the deepest roster they've had in a long time and they've built it despite using all those picks on quarterbacks. They have an offensive line, supporting cast on offense, and defense that are capable of winning games with just an average quarterback who doesn't turn the ball over and can make most of the NFL throws. Most importantly, they seem like a roster built on team-first guys. But, yeah, just wait it out and run back here at the first sign of trouble to say you told us so. Because celebrating in your misery is really a healthy practice... |
