I would say the Vikings look like ass right now, but I have too high an opinion of ass to make that comparison.

Same team/GM that gave big $$$ to Captain, traded the Bene pick to us, drafted Trae Waynes in the 1st, then trot out...old azz bum Terence Newman at CB.  Same team/GM that drafted Ponder.  Most cursed franchise in sports.  Joke.

And toothpick Teddy has been a joke and a half from the start.  31 other teams passed on him, for good reason.

I missed this thread last night but watched the game.

The Vikings looked like they had Shula back there calling plays. I thought Norv was supposed to be good.

We again saw what running read option and shotgun every play can do to an offense. Their running back had zero momentum when he got the ball and their quarterback was constantly throwing bad passes off of his back foot..... sound familiar?  The only good run that I saw from AP came with Bridgewater under center. The read option is something to be used sparingly with select personnel and unless you rely on 3 step drops and quick passes on short routes (a la the Pats), running out of shotgun every play is useless.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
