He could've lost his leg...

Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater may have lost far more than the NFL season if not for the quick action of on-site trainers, according to injury specialist Will Carroll. A tibiofemoral dislocation is a traumatic dislocation of the knee which often causes vascular injuries and permanent damage if immediate action if not taken. Bridgewater's tibia and femur reportedly separated at the knee, causing the catastrophic situation.

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."

Sounds like what happened to Brian Noble. Only with Nobes, it included nerve and vascular damage iirc.

Noble was on the sideline with the doc and he wanted to know what his timetable was for return. The doc was like WE HOPE YOU CAN WALK AGAIN SOMEDAY.

Not specifically speaking of the group here but why does it seem like there are a lot of people writing off the Vikings season because of this injury? Vikings revamped their offensive line with one of the best RBs in the league. They have one of the better defenses in the league as well under Zimmer.

All they need to do is find someone with the same abilities as Bridgewater and that can easily come in the form of Sanchez or Kaepernick. All they need to do is add a QB that can manage a few dink and dunk passes to keep a defense honest.

Bridgewater was trending upwards but there is no way this ruins their season.

Injury sounds devastating and they seem optimistic about a recovery but I wouldn't be surprised if something like this hampers his career or doesn't allow him to play again. Sucks.

In stepped a castoff from the Green Bay Packers. Former 4th string camp arm under Ron Wolf. That guy turned out to be pretty good. Won some games that year.

As Kevin Seifert of ESPN rightly pointed out...Vikes need to plan as if Teddy is not coming back.

This just makes what they might do that much more interesting. They might be trading for who they think is their next franchise QB. Could be a Kurt Warner or a Ryan Leaf. Kinda scary that they might actually find a star. Any QB is going to win games there, a great one could get them where they've never been.

Here's the problem: McCown in Cleveland! If Minny gets him, this team could be better.

beast (1h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (3h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (3h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (3h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (3h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (4h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (4h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (13h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (13h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (23h) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
