Holy SNOT!!!!
TJ Hockenson in PURPLE!?!??!
Is that a good thing? I usually don’t follow other teams, so I really don’t know. But he must be better than glass Irv.
Hockenson is a really good tight end.
This is a very good trade, best part is the Vikings didn’t have to make any cap related moves
Yep, I love this move. Fill a position, don’t sacrifice the future. Smart.
The Vikings can extend him this off-season
Wow. Sad and sobering. I wonder what happened.
No clue, only information is what his sister posted on insta
Trying to remember what his mom died from… that was also a sudden and young death…
heredity can bite you when you least expect it…
Ts and Ps for the Zimmers. Never wish that on anyone…
I think Zimmer’s wife died of cancer. Vicki, right? I think so.
I don’t see the Vikings pulling off any significant trades today, but our GM seems to be all in on this season.
Wouldn’t be shocked if something happens. It sounds like they’re looking at a WR, they must see that Thielen has lost a couple steps. Sad, because I love AT, but he’s not the same player he was 2 years ago, or even last year.
He was due to regress, but I’ve seen a lot of cut ups that shows he’s still getting open.
it’s on our HC to scheme him open when JJ is getting doubled
Sure, & hopefully they can coax another quality year or two out of him, but it sounds like they’re looking at Cooks, going by the tweeter chatter. Could just be smoke, though.
I’m an idiot
Whoops. Just pretend you never said it.
Good morning! I didn’t see 6-1 as a start to the season, could be 7-1 after next week.
The game versus the Cowboys will be our big test. That is a team we need to be able to show we can beat. I am assuming we will handle the Giants, but I could be wrong…… Lets see them lock this up by early December. Hard to see us getting the #1 seed though. Assuming we lose against Buffalo, we would need to go run the table on all the other games AND have the Eagles lose 3 games…….While they may lose 3 games, I can’t see us “running the table”.
Barring some sort of catastrophe by the Bills I don’t see the Vikings winning, have to keep pace in the NFC by giving the Commanders (I liked WFT better) and Cowboys a well deserved “L”
Have to hope the Eagles are like the “peaked in high school guy” we all know and start to fall apart towards the end of the season
So they’ll be wearing their letterman jackets when they’re in their 40s?
I’m sure their fans still do
Hey, I still have mine from the 70’s
I found mine a couple of years ago going through some old boxes that I had packed up in high school before I went to basic training (class of ‘83)
tried it on (still fit)
tossed it in the garage
I lost my high school ring a couple years after I graduated.
I didn’t get one, high school and the people associated with that time period didn’t have much meaning to me
I don’t remember most of my high school years anyway, LOL
Well you’re old so…
That, too. Also, alcohol was a factor. Some blurry nights……..and years.
6-1 is a very pleasant surprise.
Almost as fun as the FTP implosion.
I’m enjoying the packers regression very much 😃
REALLY hoping they sink into irrelevance for a long period of time again.
Yes please
I second that comment.
