Monday Night Football
The Vikings play the Bears tonight and are currently only 3 point favorites, which I find odd considering their respective records and the fact that the Bears GM/HC combo have yet to win a division game currently sitting at 0-9 in NFC North competition, but of course we all know the Vikings love to break records like that. We’ll see what happens, but I would think the Vikings figure out how to pull out a win at home.
Minnesota Vikings Discussion Topic of the Day
Does Justin Jefferson play tonight? Will it really matter if he does or doesn’t?
Minnesota Vikings News:
From a random Bears website, the #1 storyline for tonight’s game is can the Bears handle the Vikings blitz
According to the TC fishwrap East the Vikings have handled the JJ injury perfectly
The Wombat sits down to talk about the career year he’s having in his 4th season
The Bears have not beaten the Vikings in 1072 days

see you guys on the other side.
Oopsie. He missed.
Little Providence there… now let’s get a score!
Surprised they didn’t call roughing the passer there. Good strong hit on Fields.
Pace reminds me of Carlos Jenkins Jr. with his neck thing.
Ok, 3 and 13 time for a stop.
Glad they listened to me.
me too
I’m wondering if the vikings will get the ball in the 1st quarter
It seems like teams are really making a point of having linemen hustle down the field and shove the ball carrier forward. I mean, I remember seeing this here and there over the years, but now it seems like it happens all of the time now.
Expanded the Tush Push?
DJ Moore and Cole Kmet…
Have we fumbled yet?
ummm sorry, PTSD.
This is fair.
We deferred till the 2nd half.
Interesting. I just learned that Dobbs has a degree in aerospace engineering. He is essentially a rocket scientist. These announcers are founts of information.
They are able to convey the Obvious, obviously.
SKOL!
Time to play! Go Vikes!
No game thread?
Thinking this one might have to do.
Unless Brad shows up after the game starts and wants a clean/pretty one.
Apparently this is it.
Haha rg3 is a joke. He just called hunter, DANIEL hunter. You dope
You’re just now finding out Griffin is a joke? Grin.
Oh No!!

The Vikings will have to run an offense that Dobbs is comfortable in. That is, route combinations that feature throws he is good at. Every QB has throws they don’t make consistently. For Cousins for example, he was terrible at the fade to the back corner of the end zone, and Jay Gruden loved that play. It was a bad plan poorly executed. Cousins has since gotten a lot better with that throw, but back in the day, it was not good.
I’m sure Dobbs and KOC have worked through this, and the offensive “scheme” adjusted to take advantage of the throws Dobbs likes.
I say this to make the point that game tape of the Vikings passing attack under Cousins can almost be thrown out at this point. Defenses aren’t going to see the same route combinations with Dobbs in there.
Defense needs to contain Fields and take D.J. Moore and Cole Kmet away. Their #1 RB (Foreman) is out. Gotta shut down the other three and we’ll be OK.
Our Inactives.
See NLNVF I would have lost that bet.
So not so Clever.
Me too.
Curious that the activated Barr but left Vigil inactive.
Injury concerns or just emergency type back up, aka sucks??
Or Barr is just better…
And since Barr was sitting on the couch it would indicate that Vigil sucks.
I’d say Vigil is “serviceable” vice sucks… but that’s just my opinion.
I think if he was ‘serviceable’ he would be active over Barr.
Lingering injury is the only other explanation.
Anyone want to bet that Cine won’t be on the active roster tonight?
I will bet that Cine won’t be on the active roster tonight.
Clever boy
Who Cine?
I am thinking ‘not so much’.
No, you’re the clever one.
Was fun to watch Diggs lose after taunting the Eagles fans. I hate philly, but Diggs is also about as classy as your average Eagles fan, so Karma strikes again.
Agreed!
I think the Vikings win tonight, but it will be a closer game than it should be.
Vikings are a better team, at home. Chicago does have a good defense, but so did Denver and the Vikings literally fumbled that game away.
SKOL
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict a win by more than one score.
24-13 Vikings win.
Sounds good to me.
Skål Vikings!
The Vikings have elevated LB Anthony Barr to the active roster for tonight’s game.
WR Justin Jefferson has been downgraded to out.
‘WR Justin Jefferson has been downgraded to out’
I has a sad.
I think pretty much everyone felt this was going to be the case. Wish it wasn’t so though.
Would have like to see him along with Addison and Dobby and Hock.
Will just have to wait a few more weeks.
yep
I’d rather have a fully healthy JJ for the last 5 games plus the playoff loss….
The Bears have the #1 defense in the league against the run, and are 8th worst in the league against the pass.
Need Dobbs to be a passer tonight I think.
I’ll simply put this in the be thankful for what you’ve got category.
Was watching around the league the last few weeks and the quality of QB play is pretty poor for many teams. Some struggle to score 16 points. Now, some teams are getting some elite level play, but few.
So, all things considered, our level of QB play this year has been pretty damn good. Cousins was probably playing his best football ever, and Dobbs has come in and done a terrific job.
I’m thankful.
‘I’m Thankful’.
That is soooo last week.
#grins
You must be a “closet” Jet fan, or Pat, or Giant fan.
Closest I ever got to any of those was my brother.
He blamed the Joe Namath Poster he had on his wall growing up.
Joe Namath might actually play better now than what they have.
He seems to think he ‘still has it’ with all the moves he tries to put on female announcers/sportscasters.
But then he is usually drunk when he does it.
Through the first four games of the season 8 had 4 INTs and 4 Fumbles. Dobbs through his first 3 games with the Vikes has 1 int and 6 Fumbles. Lets see how tonight goes but the notion that Dobbs is so much more turn over prone than Kirk, on the MN Vikings, is incorrect.
There is no reason to compare Dobbs to Cousins. They are two completely different QB’s. Cousins worked defenses with his preparation, reads, and arm talent. Dobbs is working defenses with his athleticism and experience in the QB room studying defensive schemes.
So far, Dobbs is doing pretty damn good based on his extremely short time with the team. Let’s leave it at that.
Was stated to counter Freezes incorrect statement below. I agree with your deduction.
I will say this, the stats I looked at show Cousins has had 3 fumbles this year and only lost 1.
LOL dobbs has 14 fumbles and 6 int’s on the season.
i was literally saying he turns the ball over.
Who cares?
Both QB’s have played great football for the Vikings this year.
Wont argue that. Just countering Freezes statement that Dobbs is more turn over down below.
LOL
Behind the back interception by a Michigan high school player.
Posting it twice doesn’t make it work any better.

The Vikings blitz 47.4% according to Sportradar. They’re blitzing almost every other down.
That’s No. 1 in the NFL and it’s not even close. Second-most belongs to the Giants at 40.1%.
Since Week 8, the Bears have given up pressures on only 20.3% of plays, fifth best pass protection in the league. The Vikings, meanwhile, have pressured opposing QBs on just 16.6% of passing plays since Week 8—the second-lowest percentage in NFL. If the Vikings can’t get to a QB—like they haven’t since Week 8—and they’re gambling so much to do it, then they are susceptible to big plays.
Watch for the Bears to split their RB out wide and throw quick passes to the edges to beat the blitz and make some big plays tonight.
In Flores We Trust.
Might we be better off to just make Fields stand there and throw. Does he really throw that well throwing from the pocket?
The Bears offense has scored 13, 17, 16, and 26 points in their last 4 games, but Fields can throw the ball when he has a clean pocket. He will run for chunk plays, and long TD’s as well so to me, it’s best to keep him in the pocket with good pressure. His speed to process and decision making is his weak point in my opinion. Make him progress through his reads. That’s where he will struggle.
The Bears will definitely be looking for the blitz, and have plays specifically designed and well practiced to beat the blitz. Unfortunately, we will need to be better at rushing with just four, and using the linebackers to contain Fields tonight IMO.
He just seems like a two read max, happy feet and he’s out of there. Take away his first read and see what he does.
Alex Smith made a career of looking for his first read, then looking at the rush, then either going to a second read or running.
Don’t think Fields is there mentally (yet anyway) where Alex Smith was.
Concur
I love that word. It sounds so measured and profound.
I concur with you appreciation of the word ‘concur’.
That was Denver strategy. Denver threw to the back over 30% of the time, and 14 of 35 passes were at or behind the LOS.
Not sure if link will work to Wilson’s pass chart.
The link worked. If this is the strategy to beat the blitz, the defensive backs will need to tackle very well. One missed tackle could result in a TD.
A couple guys had a high scoring game in fantasy this week: 164.86 to 151.76.
The 10-1 guy scored 151.76 and still got beat handily.
I barely cracked 90 due to guys like Theilen and Kittle combining for a whopping 4.10 points. Still won, though.
That’s low scoring and likely a loss in our league.
Yowza, you must be in a varsity league. I’m B squad!
Nah, just crazy scoring. QBs score 50-100 even with a mediocre day. Defenses can score 50. You get ridiculous points for big plays and points for every first down. Kicker scoring is just as whacky but in the opposite direction.

Sounds like a government conspiracy to me…..
Been telling people not to buy Apple products for over a decade but no one listens. Buy buy buy, consume consume , consume. Some folks just cant get break the habit of consumerism.
The thing about Apple products is they just work. I’ve bought one new iPhone in the last twelve years and one new iPad. Don’t think that will break the bank.
I got my desktop at 25% off as my brother worked there at the time (about 8yrs ago now).
I get my iPhones as ‘hand me downs’ from The Teacher, I have never purchased one.
I did buy an iPad two years ago for reading e-novels.
Totality of my Apple Consumerism.
Remind me, when are you moving to Idaho? And it was Boise area, no?
Boise suburb, Nampa.
Once The Teacher is done with this school year we will move, so about June.
We take back the house next month from the Property Manager and will have a caretaker checking it weekly after that.
Very nice, hope the move is uneventful.
Well it will be a major ‘event’ in our lives by itself.
We will try to make it ‘well managed’ at least.
I was reminiscing, it was two years ago November 22 that we moved over here from Billings and I started working at GMC…the movers brought over our belongings and put them in the shipping container about two months later…and they still sit undisturbed in the container. Will be like Christmas (as in we will be unwrapping presents – will be chronologically significantly later than Christmas) when we open the container and start hauling stuff across the yard.
We will haul a spare bed and a few ‘essentials’ up next month when we finish up with the ‘property manager’.
I remember the Army movers coming in like a swarm of locus and taking everything away.
When we got the stuff back months later there were even full garbage cans that they packed.
Fun times.
Back in my wee laddy days the Canadian army did rotation boxes if you were shipped overseas. This would be circa 70’s. They delivered a pile of unassembled cardboard boxes that once assembled formed a sturdy box and lid about the size of a short comfy chair. All your belongings went into the rotation boxes, when we moved back to the home country from Germany my job was to label each box contents’ with a black marker and type up the originating and shipping addresses on the labels. I believe we had 56 rotation boxes that were shipped and took about two months to arrive and two rapid delivery boxes that were waiting for us when we got to the next posting in Edmonton. We shipped a car as well that was waiting for us in Ottawa and drove that to Edmonton.
We had ‘long term storage’ and ‘short term storage’. You were allowed a certain weight by rank. If you went over the allowance you had to pay the difference.
‘Short term’ was clothes household goods etc and could go with you to Germany (for example) while ‘long term storage’ was furniture/major appliances/etc that waited until you came back stateside to be delivered.
You had an option to move it yourself and they paid per lbs, lots of math but worth it sometimes if you could manage it.
Much ado about nothing. You have to choose to share your name and contact information.
I got a really bad feeling about tonight’s game.
Vikings usually have one really bad loss each year where they let an inferior opponent absolutely destroy them.
Can’t seem to get past the
Simple. – no turnovers, we win.
that’s asking a lot out of Joshua P Dobbs
Remember though, that those turnovers are NOT his fault.
My my. Some people are pretty testy applying the Kirk Cousins rules of turnovers. People would bend over backwards finding excuses that a turnover by Cousins wasn’t his fault.
I’m using those standards for all Vikings QB’s.
Were is the Beating Dead Horse Gif when you need it??
Found and applied it.
i do find it funny when people use downvotes.
i mean i’m jealous for your street cred.
but dobbs definitely turns the ball over more than kirk, even though i’m unsure how this got turned into kirk at all haha
Well, since 2018 I had to re-learn that turnovers were not the QB’s fault. Now that he isn’t playing, I have to re-learn that turnovers are now back to being the QB’s fault.
It might take me some time.
Here I will give a little street cred.
My first downvote of the day.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Gave you some street cred, even if I agree with what you said.
And this came up first when I typed in down vote.
Thanks.
Technology is not a friend of mine.
We have given away several games we should have won already.
We are capable of doing that in any game we play.
If fact I would say we ‘gave away’ every game we have lost this year.
So always a concern, but no more that usual.
I’m right there with you BSF. I can’t shake this bad feeling.
Understandable concerns considering our history. Chicago has traditionally been a tough opponent regardless of record. I don’t feel the doom that you do, but I don’t take them lightly – despite Eberflus’s terrible record against the division. After Reich got canned today, it wouldn’t surprise me if we see Chicago fire Eberflus if Minnesota wins tonight, given his record and them having the bye over week 14.
Nah we’ll be up by four scores by halftime and I can start getting ready for bed yawn.
Stay classy Philthadelphia.

Classy and Philadelphia aren’t normally used together in the same sentence.
Only in jest.
That’s why I hate the Eagles so much. Saw some clips of their awful fans giving Bills players the finger and foul mouthing them. That stadium isn’t safe. I read somewhere they actually have multiple jail cells in the basement.
At least JJ isn’t just standing on the field doing nothing I guess.
Amazing Pit is 7-4 considering they have a negative point differential and their offense is atrocious
I can’t click on the tweet. Anyone else having this issue?
It was like this yesterday too.
Ninja edit. Works if I click on the URL.
Nevermind
Yeah, it’s been like that for a week or so. That’s why I’ve been putting a link as well.
Works going to link, but not here.
Diva
Now the Vikings will lose and everyone will say JJ should have played.
People say a lot of stuff. Most of it is nonsense.
Not on here, we’re a no nonsense bunch
If you would have said “no sense” bunch, then I would have given you a rec.
I resemble that remark

The store owner better not be prosecuted… even if these fuck faces didn’t have a weapon on them how would the shop owner know they wouldn’t pull a gun on him or something like that?
He will be prosecuted.
He started by stabbing the guy in the back and then kept stabbing long after the guy stopped being a threat.
He might beat the charge but if he was in Calif he would already be in prison.
Fuck that, he stops being a threat, lets him go and the guy turns around and starts shooting… that’s a real possibility. When I was doing Jujitsu I love what my sensei always said… survive first, worry about the law later.
I never said I thought he was wrong and should not have done those things.
I am telling you what I believe the DA will do and why. DAs are political animals.
Panthers, lol.
oooofdaaaaaa
Strange, owner wanted Young, Reich didn’t (something about size). QB hasn’t worked out. Guess who gets fired?
This is how business works, not just football. So lame sometimes.
Yep, owners seldom fire themselves.
I’m not sure if Reich didn’t like Young, reports are that he may have preferred a different QB, but either way this owner is delusional and impatient, that franchise will never win with him. Who would even be interested in that job after Rhule got 1.5 seasons and Reich got .5 seasons before being fired.
Some fool will take it though.
Correct, a fool will, but no quality coach will.
You back from the Land of the Mouse? Good time?
The fact that he hired Rhule in the first place was a huge red flag.
Yeah, that was a perplexing hire.
And gave him that ridiculous guaranteed contract.
It probably was an insane amount of money, but most, if not all NFL head coaching contracts are 100% payable when the coach is fired. Just part of the process in the NFL.
Unless you were fired by Al Davis.
He worked hard to find reasons that the coach ‘violated the contract’ so he would have to pay out.
I think the main issue with Rhule’s contract was that they signed him for 7 years. That’s a really long contract for a guy that hardly had any prior NFL coaching experience. The best part is that Nebraska then gives him an 8 year contract to be their new head coach, and he goes 5-7 in his first season.
Sometimes you wonder how some of these guys got so rich they can own a NFL team because they are so psychotic. Maybe that is why they are rich is because they are psychotic.
Their owner is just plain stupid. The end.
He’s terrible, and interferes, which makes it so much worse.
Man, the Eagles look tough this year. I was rooting hard for Buffalo last night, to no avail.
Let’s go, Vikings!
Same.
Eagles have a dominant record but haven’t looked like a dominant team, the majority of their wins are one score games, which tend to even out over time. A fully healthy SF team is better imo.
Go Niners!
I agree, if the Vikings don’t make the SB I’d like to see SF, they’re fun to watch.
Me too. Don’t like Eagles or Cowboys, but if we can’t be there, love to see Niners beat the crap out of both these teams.
Same!
A few of my brothers are Cowboys fans, one used to pick the previous years SB winner and he would be their fan.
This particular brother and I were discussing football on thanksgiving, and he says talk to me when your team has won 5 SBs. My response, how many have the cowboys won since you’ve been a fan, same number as the vikings have won since I have been a fan.
Great answer!
My daughter and family usually come over for the 1st half of the SB (have to get the kids to bed). I don’t think I can watch another Eagles/Chiefs SB though, UGH!
ate lunch at the bloom on friday. not the dispensary, the coffe/cafe.
really good
It’s for sale – the perfect place for freezey, missus and the kids to thrive in Glendive.
it is? i should tell my inlaws to buy it.
i would love to help them with that. they have pretty good cofffee and delicious sandwhiches
I find the food expensive and the service lacking. Mind I am close friends with the husband’s family.
I don’t have your number any more. I was accosting anyone that had a Minnesota-ish accent at the Light Parade, asking if they were Freezey…
yeah it wasn’t a cheap lunch. my in laws offered to pay, to which my brother in law quickly accepted, but i refused. i can pay my way, i’m grown!
Look Mr. Rich guy over here refusing a free lunch.
you’ve seen my many lake houses…
Not yet, I’ve only seen the pictures of other people’s lake houses that you take.
“Take” “borrow” “squat”
it’s all the same
Hadn’t taken the drone up for a while, flew it yesterday…
looks awesome.
my in laws did some reno’s to their house, built a bunkhouse for the kids to sleep in. it was really nice
That’s great!
Now that the GC cut out the exterior wall openings into the addition it is definitely taking shape. Of course that means I was out there vacuuming up drywall dust “because it just ends up in our living area”
Was funny, the GC who fearlessly cuts a big doorway into the shouse was in that sunroom as I call it, working, but didn’t have the lights on (the electricians hooked up some incandescent bulbs and a couple of outlets in each room so the contractors have lights and power). I asked why he was working by the light of a battery powered worklight and he said something is wrong with the switch, it buzzes and the lights flicker. I checked it out and the old crappy switch they had wired in was shorting out. I told him I would grab a spare switch and he could replace it and he was “oh no, I don’t touch electricity”. Took me all of thirty seconds. I could no more have installed that quad panel patio door in a decent manner than the man in the moon but he can’t pop in a new switch.
Could be an OSHA thing. Huge fines for messing with electrical, if you are not an electrician.
I bet you are right. No biggie when the homeowner does it.
Where’s the lake?
I’m no freezeyface.
I like the sidewalk. You should keep it like that.
That thar’s a sidewalk on the flatland side of Montana.
Nice! What a big change since Spring.
My wife goes there from time to time, my granddaughter likes to eat there and it is a way for them to spend time together. The prices for what you get drives my frugal wife nuts.
I (stop me if you have heard this before) am quite stubborn and I got shite service there two times in a row this summer, waited 90 minutes for an appetizer even after complaining to the owner and her in-laws who we were eating with. So I haven’t spent a dime there since June.
I only relented and starting going back to the Gusthauf two weeks ago after a 6 year hiatus because the technologists insisted on eating there at the end of rad tech week…which annoyed my stepkids because they have frequently asked us to go there after a game and I always say my wife can go but I won’t.
If you get too picky in God’s Divine Valley you quickly run out of options, but I refuse to reward crappy service after the price of a sandwich has gone up 250% to pay for the help, and you are still expected to tip the help after receiving terrible service.
wow, well we must have gotten lucky.
we had a party of 12 and got the food in a timely manner, plenty of room of all the kids, everyone liked their sandwhiches and drinks and other than pricey, not a complaint.
fun greenhouse too
Is that some new fangled Montana thing?
am i spelling that wrong? not surprised, i’m an idiot.
Sandwiches. Which are better than sand witches.
It’s manwiches with peppers, I believe.
The Bills pulled a Viking. Lots of turnover. They could have won that without all the turnovers.
Seems the Bills always make their fair share of turnovers.
Penalties, too…lots of penalties.
And lack of flags. The no call on the horse collar is yet another play where a guy can’t help but wonder how much the NFL head office has told the refs how they want things to play out.
That no call was unbelievable. Cost Bills points.
League wants a lame ass Kelcebowl 2.0 and the officiating dictated that.
It is really hard to get back in the groove after the long holiday weekend.
Yup
Gross.
Woke @ 4 with a sandpaper throat and a congested head.
Temp 101
Passed the home Covid test – didn’t even study.
See the doc this afternoon, presumably for antibiotics.
Just dad & the Goose today.
Skol!
Dang, terrible way to start a Monday Morning.
Hope you are feeling better soon, or that you are well medicated by kickoff.
Oof get well!
Accurate.
Oh no, sorry. Hope you feel better soon.
Get well soon mate!
Get well soon. But by all means, don’t pass it along to Goose!
They test you for that dog flu going around?
lol… I think it’s the same bug my wife had. We’ve been watching the mutts closely the last few weeks in light of the recent canine illness outbreak but haven’t seen anything. No loss in appetite, no cough, lots of energy – Goose in particular, I usually take him to the dog run early in the morning 4/5 days a week and always on Monday so he’s a little uncertain why dad is under a blanket.
We’ve got a doggy mystery illness going on at our house. My wife’s dog has had a horrible cough/yack for over a year now.
Vet initially called it kennel cough, but A) it has not been contagious to our other 3 dogs (or any of the dozens he’s come in contact with over the year), and B) it will not go away.
He has none of the other symptoms of the new dog flu either.
Stop testing for the Vid. If you’re sick stay home until you feel better.
I agree wholeheartedly. However, one man’s mancold is another’s typhus. For example, there is no way in he double hockey sticks that I would go to a doctor’s office with 12 hours of cold symptoms. That doesn’t make me morally or physically superior, I just have zero wish to sit in a crowded waiting room with other patients with other respiratory illnesses and lose my shi_ when the doctor is an hour behind.
What if your fever was 102 with cold symptoms?
‘The Bears have not beaten the Vikings in 1072 days’
‘#nojinx’ really should be required after a comment like that. Duh.
If we cannot beat the Bears at home…we have no business pretending to be a playoff team.
Too much positivity about the game tonight. That makes me nervous that we will pull a Monica and lose the game.
The mythical words up top tell us that dabears are 0-9 vs the division under their current regime, and that the Vikes love to break such records. I seriously hope they won’t. #nojinx
Appropriate use of #nojinx.
JJ says “we’ll see how I feel.” I’m thinking he will do warm-ups and if he feels good they’ll play him for a series. If all goes well maybe another.
If he feels any twinge at all they should shut him down and let him rehab another 2 weeks.
if he plays, he is at 100% and won’t have any issues or feel any pain…
if he doesn’t play, it’s because they think they can win without him and want to be OVERLY cautious.
He’s starting to sound like a diva receiver who doesn’t have a big new contract on a team that isn’t going anywhere.
In that regard I can’t blame him tbh. He didn’t hold he came in and took care of business, now he has his first real injury of his pro career on a team that hasn’t given him a new contract and might not be headed anywhere. From his perspective I wouldn’t blame him… PAY THE MAN!
If he’s not fully 100%, don’t play him. We have 52 other guys on roster. If we can’t best the Bears without him, are we really a playoff team.
Bingo
I believe they have to activate him by 3pm today if he is to play tonight.
Considering the Bears let the Lions come back and win a week ago (likely on purpose), I would hope the Vikings can get an easy win tonight. Though I can’t rule anything out, and I wouldn’t put it past a tanking team to get a win when not even trying against our favorite team. We’ll see I guess.
I thought we played in Chicago tonight, so I picked us to lose. I see it is actually in Minneapolis, though. Oh well, I only put one confidence point on the game, so I’m covered either way…
ben, love the gif up top.
what a great way to start monday
I cannot get that to play or expand or go to X.
I can’t either, IDK what happened but tweets don’t work on here for me.
It’s not working for me either. They haven’t been working for a week or so. This was a good one too.
I believe it is Kirk’s fault.
I’m betting that JJ sits it out, tonight.
Stop the turnovers and take the easy win!
Frist!
Good morning, SKOL!
FTB!
Game Day!
FTB!!
I don’t disagree, and I don’t mean any offense, but I refrain from FTB and any team other than FTP and FTS, it kinda cheapens it imo.
And really should it be FTS? It should be FTB, because my issue isn’t with the Saints it’s with Sean Payton ang Gregg Williams…
Well FTB in this case is Broncos lol.
One of my coworkers is a Broncos fan and tried telling me last night that Sean Payton isn’t dirty at all and the fact that the Broncos are now injuring players is just bad luck. I told him Payton is a POS, should have been banned forever and can rot in hell.
100% this.
I hate the whole saints organization
You do you. I hate Sean Payton and Gregg Williams… to hate the whole organization cheapens my hate for those two douche nozzles.
I hate them too, but ownership empowered them to do what they did so I lump them all in together. Also, name of your sextape
I don’t think they’re talking about a team…I think they’re saying Fuck the Ben
Nice typo (unless it was intentional)! Which deadline are you referring to?
Also, Frist auto rec!
