They went through us in week 17...

And they signed more veteran FAs and had a higher starting drafted spot.

[list]They signed

  • G Alex Boone
  • T Andre Smith
  • S Michael Griffin
  • the OL help them protect and Griffin gives them a smart veteran on the back end.
    [/list]

    The Vikings only real weakness is maybe the DL and their passing game (in part due to their QB). I think teams are going to need to be able to run the ball on the Vikings to beat them.

    Btw, enjoy this:

    Adrian Peterson: Teddy Bridgewater reminds me of Tom Brady 

    “He reminds me of a Tom Brady because Tom Brady is great at those mediocre passes,” Peterson said. “Those short passes and midrange passes and that’s exactly what Teddy does as well."

    Each offseason it's been so much fun watching Viking fan get all jacked up about their "great" offseason with delusions of their 1st SB win in their heads and worse on their lips or fingertips.

    Now, they have an actual player, and their best one in years backing them up and amping up the craziness.

    Teddy is like Tom Brady. Vikes are going to win it all. I'll never spank again. Etc.

    What are your impressions of AD? Is he mentally unstable or do you fear his talk? I would never doubt what he has to say about himself but it ends there. I don't think he has a clue about anything else.

    In any case, he's made it that much more fun and those games vs. the Vikings that much more to look forward to.

    Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

    AP is quite the RB. If he wants to say they will win it all he is free to do so.

    At his age, I feel his mouth will be running more than his legs this season. It was easy to notice he lost some of his burst last season.

    When James Jones said Derek Carr was a mini Aaron Rodgers, it didn't sit well. Adrian Peterson saying Teddy Bridgewater is like Tom Brady, is just as bogus. These young quarterbacks do not need to be compared to the elite of their position. I understand it's a confidence thing, but who the hell wants to hear their name in the same breath as the elite's? That's some unwanted and unneeded pressure if you ask me.

    Let players be player without this saturating labeling bullshit.

    Vikings edged us out for the division this past year, so now they think they're the champs.

    They will come back down to earth.

    I expect every team to "think" they will win the super bowl. Otherwise why even play the game?
    The Vikings have that same delusion every season. That's ALL they have to hold on to, so let them have that.

    I talked to Adrian Peterson, and what he ACTUALLY said was
    "Bridgewater reminds me of Tom Brady because they both are quarterbacks and throw a football. The only difference is that Teddy is mediocre"

    That's what was REALLY said!😁

    Well, If I'm Teddy Bridgewater I'd rather have AP compare me to Tom Brady than to tell the truth about me.

    However, If I am right? Jones' compliment was partly about how Carr handles pressure like Aaron.

    So.. Theoretically.. One can not put "Unwanted Pressure" on a prodigy (Carr) who is known for his remarkable talent and ability to handle pressure.

    beast (7h) : 6 days
    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
    wpr (9-Apr) : yay
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
    Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
    Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
    Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
