    As another Viking Fan it hits you hard but mostly because of how we feel about Teddy and you can't help but care about the guy.

    It is too bad about Teddy. I think the NFL should go to 2 pre season games. Players stay in shape year round now.

    Shaun Hill will hold Teddy's spot 'til we can get Stave (3rd stringer) ready...6-8 games.

    Thankfully, the Vikings identity is their defense. They'll be fine.


    Did I convince anybody?



    Anybody?.......



    I think I'm just trying to convince myself. :(

    The news for Teddy is not good... According to a couple reports, he could have bled to death were it not for the efforts of the Vikings training staff providing the exact type of treatment they did on-site before paramedics arrived. I have never heard to anything even remotely close to this happening to another player under these circumstances.

    My prayers to him and his family for a full and complete recovery...

    Sam Bradford is going to the Vikings! There chances have improved dramatically from QBs they had on the roster.

    Looks like Sanchez is going to Dallas. That will be interesting.

    I agree about the Vikes, but the Eagles will now be starting C Wentz long before he's ready, I think. Not that I care, just surprised they made that choice. They had planned to sit Wentz for the season before the trade.

    Thank God I get to keep my Sunday ticket!

    I have significantly lowered my expectations for the season, but if Bradford just needed the right program to shine, this could be a very good year.

    Definitely not a Raiders fan, but their proposed Las Vegas stadium could be a thing of beauty.

    I get where you are coming from. I have been a Viking from birth and will be to the end of my days. I just want a Lombardi or two before I leave this life for the next.

    Grew up in San Antonio as a Cowboys fan...Staubach and company, as well as an Oilers fan till Bud Adams relocated them :'(

    Still a frustrated Cowboys fan :# and have grown to love the Texans :)

    It is doubtful, either the Vikings, or Cowboys will do better than 8 & 8.

    Your statement on the Vikings is based on.........

    Maybe it's that they are the defending NFC North champs?
    Maybe it's that they made significant improvements in their offensive line in the offseason?
    Maybe it's that they have one of, if not 'the', best running backs of all time on their roster and healthy?
    Maybe it's that they have more quality depth at receiver this year than they've quite possibly ever had?
    Maybe it's that they had a young defense with the second least points scored against them last season, or that many 'experts' are saying they are likely to be a much-improved defense this year with the added experience level of said young players?


    LOTS to be excited about this year as a Vikings fan! Yeah, we've been bummin' about losing Bridgewater, but was it really that much of a loss? He had 14 TD passes last year and was 3-of-22 for passes over 30 yards on the season. Sure, we were excited about one 50+ yard pass this preseason and thought he played great in preseason game 3. And yes, it looked like he was becoming the team's offensive leader that we wanted all along...buuuuut, was it enough to hang our hats on there? That, we'll never know.

    Our season, IMHO, totally hinges on the O-line's ability to give Bradford time in the pocket and to play upright and healthy. Bradford can be very effective from under center (Bridgewater prefers playing from the shotgun), exactly where the QB started from on over 90% of Adrian Peterson's runs of 15 yards or more.













    So very happy I'm not a Tom Brady (underinflated) ball washer! ;)

    No worries, John. Super Bowl 52, scheduled for February 2018 at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis will likely be a home game for the Vikings, going for a repeat!

    I understand you don't feel the way I do @gce, but my point of view is clouded by my love for all that is Silver and Black.

    I totally get it that you bleed Silver and Black. The reason I don't want the Raiders in L.A. or the Rams is I'd get stuck with watching the Rams or Raiders every Sunday. For 22 years I've been able to see almost all the Cowboys games because L.A. didn't have a team. I'd like to stay that way.

    @gce you had it good for the last 20 plus years as far as getting your Sunday fix of Cowboys football. Now the chickens have come to roost, time to pay the piper, and any other cliche that fits this scenario.

    But since the Cowboys are Americas Team I'll still get at least half of their games. ;) This Sunday the Giants & Cowboys on Fox game of the week because the Rams are on MNF.

    I can't see paying $50 a month when I know I'll get half the games or more.
