Has Shedeur Sanders been playing the whole game for Cleveland?

Yes. 

I'm starting a sign up for his HOF induction ceremony. I'll bring a cooler and bring some road trip snacks, but everyone has to chip in for the gas money.

Yeah I think Watson had a concussion last week

Sirius XM hasn’t gone to that game all afternoon until the last play in OT

Patriots can’t even do us a favor? They’re overrated 

[Parfigliano]

Barf....hope PATS win today.

[nicksaviking]

Yeah, somehow the Packers are getting Drake Maye and the Patriots from the first three weeks. 

[Vanimal46]

Sophomore slump in full effect for Maye

[Aggies7]

Vikings sure better win tomorrow the way these results are going

It’s a good thing we won 5 meaningless games in a row last year so we could play a stronger schedule this year 

Strong concur. Just awful it happened..

But at least this years draft cpass is really helping..... Sigh..

Meh, finishing third got us to play SF instead of Arizona, but also Washington instead of the giants

It's about the draft for me.

Something about the way Brady talks makes me think he's actually cheering against the Patriots.

That would not shock me for some reason.

The early goings are doing nothing to make me think I was wrong in saying the bears are the best in the north

Agreed. The Vikings should be sellers. Serious sellers. But they won't, just like the Twins, they won't face reality.

The bears are better as is. Does a different quarterback make the Vikings better? Someone merely average?

[Aggies7]

Never know which Tampa team you’re going to get. We got the bad one tonight

who can they get in 2 days that is average?

It’s certainly not likely they’ll grab someone. But the reality is every team has some kind of issue or weakness. I was down on the Vikings this past week and rightfully so but we’re victims of the moment. SF lost to the falcons, Atlanta’s only win in their last 5. Now, I could easily feel a lot worse at this time tomorrow if Buffalo comes in and slaps us around. As I type, Tampa is giving the bears a bit of a game.

Impressive job by the Bucs

Good defense. Good offensive line too. 

You can tell Mayfield still isn't right. But if he's healed up after their bye week, they probably just need to beat up on their division opponents to win their division with 8 or so wins. I guess if my favorite team was the #5 seed, TB would probably be the team out of the NFC South I'd least want to play. But in any case, having the chance to play the NFC South champs still sounds like the best draw outside of the #1 seed.

[Vanimal46]

I would take any team coming out of the NFC East or South in a playoff game. The Giants have just as much trouble scoring points as the Vikings. They'll get to coast to a division title because Dallas and Washington are terrible football teams... and the Eagles are in tank mode after losing Hurts for the season.

Agreed. Much easier than the North or West winners.

Yeah, I'd take the NFC South over the Giants solely because of John Harbaugh. Otherwise the Giants offensively are probably less frightening than the entire NFC South. Except maybe the Saints.

No way Vikes get #1 seed.  Even making the playoffs is still very iffy having QB being weakest spot on the field.
