    As of right now:

    The Bears are way worse than I thought.

    The Lions are better than I thought.

    Packers & Vikes are about what I thought, however I would not have picked the Vikes to be where they are without their QB.

    Matt Kalihl season ending surgery too. Plus if the O line does not unscrew themselves quick Sammy is going to be on the IR as well.

    You've got that right. This week could be brutal if they don't get their act together.

    Then again the vikings shed some weak links Matt has sucked for 2 years and the vikings will be better when they do not feel like they need to give AP 30 carries a game.

    Can never catch a break... First our QB and now our RB/OL.

    Both Matt Kahlil and Adrian Peterson just played their last games as Vikings. My gut feeling anyway. Man this injury stuff sucks

    This I agree with. You guys are cursed. :lol:



    In 1998 I watched the NFC championship sitting there thinking, "oh no The Vikings re really going to win the superbowl this year. This really sucks. "

    I was not looking forward to you guys getting one.




    Then this happened. And I was very happy.

    In order to distract myself from more bad Viking news, I'll focus on a certain packer QB stats -

    Aaron Rodgers' passer rating has been below 100 in 14 straight games, more than 2x longer than next-longest active streak (Alex Smith, 6).

    Yep, something is up, and I don't think it's timing or anything. He's flat out inaccurate on a good number of throws.

    His PFF score against the Vikings was 33. Lowest he's ever earned in his career. Second lowest completion percentage amongst all QB's for week 2.

    AR makes good decisions and has good pocket presence. Knows when to run and when not to run. Throwing the ball accurately into tight places he has struggled with for sure. I will say it just seems he doesn't have anyone open as often as he should. That is on the receivers. But then it seems when he does have someone open he misses it too often. I can't put my finger on it either.

    I was 8 years old. I still remember how devastated I was very fondly.

    Paging Ray Rice with AP out the vikings have an opening in the domestic violence department.
