Good lord Addison.
-
About time! Roll him out!
-
They already turned to him. He got hurt and Dobbs flashed genius. Two flukes were all that worked against him.
-
This game sucks. And I bet the Vikes end up scoring two TDs here somehow and they continue on with Dobbs.
-
They’ll have two weeks to get Hall up to speed.
-
Bootleg every passing play
-
If Flores gets a HC job and the Bears get a new HC, I call dibs on Eberflaus as the Vikings DC next year.
-
Pick was better than incomplete.
-
O’Niell is getting eaten up tonight. And Hockenson seemed like he could have fought for that yard if he’d turned upfield right away.
-
Just like I said
-
I'd move him out of the pocket for sure. Not sure I want to see much more of Mattison though. And they don't trust Chandler for some reason. I guess if we want to discuss handing it off to CJ Ham, I'm willing to listen......
-
Not sure what happened here, but there are enough threads to discuss Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda. I've hidden a boatload of posts, please stay on topic. -
If the Vikings are going to make the playoffs with a terrible QB, it's probably going to have to be a terrible QB who can do some damage with his legs. Got to be Hall or Dobbs.
-
Maybe his early celebrated success gave him too much of the gunslinger mentality.
-
If I can take any solace from this, it's that Joe Buck is stuck calling a game more disgusting than Randy Moss' mooning celebration.
-
This seems like a missed filed goal situation coming up....... Ha, sniped!
-
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but what the hell is going on with this Bears defense. They are ALL over the receivers. They usually have blown coverage willie nillie.
-
They're throwing way more than I thought they would. I just think Fields is a deer in the headlights unless he makes up his mind to run right away.
-
I think Cousins on crutches would only be a minimal improvement though.
-
I mean I think they are HALFWAY. Dobbs has stunk, but Chicago's defense is all over the receivers and backs somehow. The Vikings defense is going to score sometime soon though.
-
The Vikings are shooting themselves in the foot, but since when can the Bears play good defense? The receivers are well covered and they're swarming to plays at the line of scrimmage like a professional team.
-
Seems like a trap game, but maybe losing last week will mean no one overlooks this one. I think to lose, Dobbs would have to have multiple turnover's handing Chicago easy points and Fields would need to have the best gave of his season with his legs. He does not make quick decisions, so Flores' blitzing should crush his confidence. He'll escape some of them and make some big plays I'm sure, they just can't let him get away with it constantly.
-
Even without Yamamoto, they still have Castillo, Kirby, Gilbert, Woo, Miller, the rookie Hancock, the (gross and untradeable) Marco Gonzales and a TBD Robbie Ray. So I'd be just fine trading for one Mariner pitcher before a Yamamoto signing and should the Mariners pull it off, another pitcher after!

Most starter-turned-relievers don't find success until their first full season away from the conversion, so the Twins would be missing out on that test with all of these guys. They really need to start this transition with the fringy starters earlier before they start to see more Liam Hendricks' pop up on other teams rosters. Balazovic should be the first to go though since he isn't able to continue the experiment in St. Paul.

Joe Mauer Should Be a First Ballot Hall of Famer
nicksaviking replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Based on the historical comments on this site, I'm not sure Mauer would meet the 75% threshold if ONLY Twins fans voted for the HOF. I absolutely expect him to get in, but I'm expecting it to take some time and I'm fully expecting TD to erupt in outraged indignity once the results are revealed showing Mauer still has a long way to go. I mean, the anger will be real, but will anyone really be surprised if he isn't behind East Coast favorite newbies Utley, Wright or even Jose Reyes? Or long time elite players like Adrian Gonzalez and Matt Holliday? That doesn't even include East Coast holdovers like Jimmy Rollins, Andy Pettitte and Carlos Beltran or the remaining steroid era players who still have their die-hard supporters. Add in the near-locks Beltre, Helton and Wagner and he's going to struggle to find room on most voters top-ten lists. Carlos Beltran seems fairly similar to Mauer in terms of candidacy. They played premium defensive positions, had a fantastic peak of their careers, but didn't meet those 'counting stat' milestones. Beltran didn't even reach 50% of the votes last year and it was much weaker class. I think we should be hoping for something like 40% vote totals this year, but expect even less. I'll happily eat crow if it turns out otherwise though.
