so the Vikes are 3.5 point dogs because they cannot win by a bunch of points?  but yet the Packers are a “dangerous team”.  is this the same Packer team who lost to the Same Giants team the Vikings beat this year?  Commanders? Lions?  Since when do they give style points on wins in the NFL?

And, this didn't age well.  SMH
Hey Chuck...Not sure if you're comfortable addressing this on a forum or not?

What are your thoughts (as a player) regarding what happened with Hamlin and how the league has managed it so far? to-date it seems like the league is handling it well, I fully expect them to step in some poop at some point. 



There is no way to handle this without angering somebody.  Terrible thing that happened but I have seen players paralyzed on live TV, Stingley Utley, Shazier, and Byrd same with college games, they never suspended or canceled the game, not sure if that was the right thing to do or not.  It is a tough call but the game MUST be played out, there are too many variables that HAVE to play out for the league here.  It is unfortunate but if it isn't played out somebody is going to rightly feel screwed.  Lets all be thankful Hamlin is alive and at least stable at this time.  


at this point though,  how do you finish that game and still have their games for this coming final week, pushing things back further only screws the teams in week one of the playoffs.
