Career game coming.  

Zone shell defense is perfect for a QB with limited abilities, stepping into his first start in the 6 game of his career.

Nam Meme is true, at least it is a rookie named Skylar (Thompson) and not Kyler Murray!  A Zimmer defense would crumble with a rookie QB,,,  Will the new 3-4 defense suffer the same experience or will they shut him down?

Thompson is sure to join the list of 2nd and 3rd string QBs who we have made look like pro bowlers!

Why is Teddy not playing?  Did he get beat or is he hurt?

Concussion protocol hold out for Teddy.

He's in concussion protocol until at least Thursday, if cleared will be backup per McDaniel. Dolphins are extra cautious for obvious reasons.

Vikings catch another break? Commie QB Carson Wentz looks to be out 4-6 weeks with a broken finger, which would include our trip there in three weeks. 

But not so fast. While Thompson isn't the kind of QB who should give us trouble, Wentz's backup, Taylor Heinicke, is exactly that QB. Get better soon, Carson.

McDaniels is a smart guy, he'll have a gameplan set up for Skyler. This game is not going to be a blow out for Minnesota.

I'm worried about the Vikes winning, definitely agree it won't be a blowout.
