Unfortunately I would have a hard time challenging this. I sure hope you're wrong but the NFC is tough this year and other than if we face the winner of the East, it's going to be difficult IMO.
Does anyone here know the extent of Cook's injury? Will he be out long?

Zimmer didn't think it was serious, and Cook said he'll be fine for the next game.

In previous years, yes. But anybody saying that this year has no idea what they are talking about. Took a quick look at the stats. Hereâs where he ranks with the top 10 QBs: Completion Percentage-1st, YPA-1st, TDs-2nd, INTs-2nd, Passer Rating-1st, Salary-6th.
Super.
Extend him!
Brak posted:Packdog. You want to end the divisional NFL, OK. No more divisions, no more divisional match-ups. The SB winner gets the toughest schedule per tie breakers, worst team per tie breakers gets the easiest schedule per tie breakers.
I would not like that, but to each their own. Divisional NFL has proven to be mostly successful and popular.
I think divisions are fine as-is and I think all division winners should make the playoffs but I wouldn't be against playoff seeding based on overall records. If the 2 best teams in the conference happen to be in the same division, so be it. Give em both a bye.

Any team can beat any team at any time. Ask the Eagles at Miami.
I just had to quote this post.
Just... because.

Cousins will never be a superstar QB when he gives up 400 yards on defense to Seattle, and close to 400 yards to the Cowboys.
From the article:
"The interception â his first since Week Six â came after blatant defensive pass interference that wasnât called"
Florio, typical Vikings fan
Florio also said "I think McCaffrey scored! We just couldn't see it" LMAO....he never crossed the line & even after his O-Lineman tried to pull him in!
He's nothing but a Viking fan through & through.
I thought Florio was a Bears fan, definitely a Trubitsky apologist.
"They don't know what's going on...Especially Mike Florio, don't waste your time reading crap like that." - Aaron Rodgers
Just combine the 2 and call him a Packer hater.
Diggs should have caught it

That was pretty egregious. Actually interfered with him twice and Diggs was looking for it. At that point in the game, I was shocked that Zimmer didnât throw a flag. Iâm not sure how, at this point in the season, officials donât have a grasp on what PI is. It changes every game.
Pikes Peak posted:Diggs should have caught it
He should have. And the DB did have his hands on him but I wouldn't call it blatant pass interference. That's one you might see called 1 out of 10 times. And one that's not going to be reversed from whatever the initial call was.
....and another thing.
Was Russell Wilson the worst "miked-up" ever ?? Holy shit he is boring. I wonder if his teammates even listen to him....just a hyper spewing series of meaningless fake cliche's !!! Man that was painful.
Made Booger seem insightful.
All about getting him the MVP. From the announcers harping on how heâs been dissed up to this point....,nobody knows how good he is, to not hearing a peep from his âmicâ after he gifted the Vikings a touchdown, itâs pretty obvious what espns intentions were.

Russell Wilson definitely comes off as a bit of a weird guy when you hear his motivational BS on the sidelines, but it must work. I'll be fair to Wilson and say that a lot of guys say and yell weird things during football games, but Wilson just sounded pretty over the top with his motivational rantings.
From everything I've heard Wilson is a good guy, but I think he's a good guy that's a little bit annoying.
No need to mic up anyone. But I have to say that unlike some others in previous weeks I understood what he said.

Bland mic'd up to match bland broadcast team. Booger is awful, Tessitore isn't far behind. They are the fruition of the long term plan to make MNF totally an afterthought. This was even a vg game in relative terms. But I don't know how they can make the case for more games in a season when half or more games currently each week are dogs. More isn't better.

Why throw a red flag and waste a time out. The refs are notgoing to overturn PI calls. When it is a possession type call or an out of bounds they have no choice but to overturn if replay clearly shows it. But on a judgement call like PI, throwing a red flag is just wasting a time out you will need later.
I wish that rule would just go away

I always find the stats that focus on a singular player in a team game interesting. Looking it up, heâs completed 65%, 11 TDs, 5 INTs on Monday nights. His opponents combined W/L record in those years is 76-48, so heâs went up against some pretty good teams. I think #12 is 7-8 on Monday nights.
0-8 vs 0-US Bank
Somethingâs got to give!

You are in the minority pulling up stats 99% of other Vikings fans don't give a damn about. Sipping coffee while relishing in Queens Sports radio this week more then proved that, again.
Is it always fair to Cousins that his reputation is that he can't win big games? No. Sometimes, like on MNF, it's his defense that are key reasons he lost. But the mantra, the beating drum of criticism coming from the fan base and in the media don't give a shit about that.
It's like an oft injured player and his reputation that he's a bust or injury prone. Sometimes it's a fluke injury, not that player being weak or soft that keeps him off the field. But until that player stays on the field, it's the only way fans will shut up about it.
And until Cousins wins a playoff game or a game on the national stage like MNF, no one gives a shit about the quality of opponent's he's faced or any other criteria for those few trying to defend him.
I suppose youâre next gonna spin an 0-4 Super Bowl record into being âthis closeâ to being a dynasty.
Buffalo Bills on line 2.
It isn't ALL on the QB as we've had a front row seat to the many out of reach games we've seen AR ball out it while the D does the opposite. More than 8 games would be my guess. But at some point you have to win one of those prime time games, especially when your D is supposed to be as good as touchdownwhitewaterjesus D is.
OMG this is worth the listen. Perfect!

Cousins/Viks had the ball down 4 with ~5 minutes left in the game. An elite QB gives his team a chance, Cousins and the O went 3 and out I believe.
No they moved it some. Like 25 yards total but most of that was on a dumpoff pass to Rudolph. Kirk went the whole game without successfully pushing the ball down the field except for the blown coverage on Treadwell. Most of his yards were from YAC.

Nobody was covering Treadwell on that play because nobody thought he could catch a pass thrown his way. The guy who was almost cut from the team, catches a rare pass thrown his way, to extend a viking drive. And then they lose.
