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.
