Oxbow6 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Man did that Jones put on a show against the pack In the NFL how do you let one WR almost single handily beat you? How about a safety over the top on occasion? But this is the Packers and Dom Capers. A couple years back I watched Reggie Wayne single handily beat GB in this same fashion. Even Gruden finally said on MNF...why doesn't GB make someone else try to beat them. FIRE CAPERS! Go Pack Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxScore Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I expected the Vikes to lose to Detroit and they did but they it was a lot closer than I figured. The defense was very good and really shut down Detroit for the most part. Teddy was pretty solid aside from the 2 interceptions although the first one looked like Johnson got tripped up or he would have made a play on the ball, the 2nd one was just a bad throw way behind Jennings. I'm really looking forward to see what he can do with some added skilled weapons and a decent offensive line. Don't know what is going on with Walsh but he seems to really be struggling this year the blocked 30yd fg and missed 50 yd fg were the difference between a win and a loss today.

GDPritch Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Yah, Teddy did not help the cause with back to back int's but overall not a bad performance by a rookie QB. Yah, Walsh not what he's been the first two seasons, numbers down a notch this season. Considering where the Vikes have been the last few years and with AP and Cassel out almost all year, I think Zimmer has done one helluva job. Defense is no doubt dramatically improved. Not a friend of the Packers but they are awesome at home but when on the road they are just an average team this season. I picked the Bills at home today over the Pack and sure enough they delivered. Believe Pack are just .500 on the season on the road and they struggled to win by 3 in Mpls against a determined and gritty but sometimes offensively challenged Vikes team. They best get home field for the playoffs or else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to get AP back with a restructured contract but would take him back with his old contract too. The running game was definitely lacking this year and really didn't have a home run threat. If you add the home run threat through the running game in AP and a #1 WR this offense could be pretty good next year. The Vikings need at least 1 WR, S, LB, OL, and CB I would prefer not having to add RB to that list as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetch Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 I ask this question in the football thread & someone complained it did not belong there - only to try & find out if anyone there had heard this ?

UND-FB-FAN Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 My main reason for disappointment is not entirely on metrics, but rather the fact that I think there were better QBs available at the time the Vikings chose Bridgewater, namely Carr. Of course, I hope he proves me wrong. Some analysts have compared him to Aaron Rodgers, and although I think those guys are crazy/nuts/gone, I hope they end up being right. Thankfully, Bridgewater proved me wrong, and I'm happy for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Says here vikes interested in Crockett ? ? ?http://www.latinospost.com/articles/57382/20150331/adrian-peterson-heading-detroit-lions-vikings-now-keeping-rb-options.htm. Vikes may look at Crockett but it would have to be a late round (6 or 7) or undrafted. I have heard the Vikings are seriously looking at a RB as high as Rd 2, which would include Ameer Abdullah (Nebraska), Duke Johnson (Miami), and, even later, David Johnson (Northern Iowa). Of course, the Boise State and U of Minnesota running backs are both at play also. I think Northern Iowa's David Johnson is easily a better prospect that NDSU's Crockett (better strength and speed). Then again, whether or not Spielman picks a RB may just come down to the how the draft pans out and who's the best player available. Vikings honestly believe Adrian Peterson will be back.

FargoBison Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The Vikings did send a scout to look at him for his pro day, that is about as much as I know in regards to their interest. I expect AP to be traded before the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmksioux Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I ask this question in the football thread & someone complained it did not belong there - only to try & find out if anyone there had heard this ? Seemed college news worthy ? No wonder UND college football has been falling in popularity This has nothing to do with UND Football. Crockett played at NDSU and he never played against UND. Not sure why you are so surprised that no one here has interest in your link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmksioux Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 As for the Vikings RB situation, is the former Georgia Southern RB, Jerrick McKinnon not in the long term plans? He's a bit undersized but seemed to do pretty well last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
