Some pretty interesting and good matchups for the first Monday Night series of the year. Saints have changed a good bit and we play them in a couple weeks, and also play the Vikings later in the year. Also Ginn and AJ Klein are on the Saints while I believe Remmers is starting for the Vikings, and this is the premier of a bunch of high profile rookies (Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, Marshon Lattimore, Ryan Ramczyk) (second game : Demarcus Walker, Carlos Henderson /Mike Williams, Jake Butt wont make their debut until probably the 2nd half of the season) . Obviously pulling for the Vikings to put the Saints as the only team with a loss in the division, and thus in last place..

2nd game is a bit less interesting since I don't care too much about either team and we aren't playing either of them unless we meet either of them in the Super Bowl . Also a very late game I doubt a bunch of people on the east coast will be watching. Although I will be watching it because I always have monday tuesday wednesdays off from work and have nothing better to do . The Broncos are heavily favored and the chargers were ass last year, Rivers went to NC State once upon a time and I obviously dont like Denver so Ill be cheering for the Chargers to pull the upset.

The Saints beating the Vikings would be a bigger upset than the Chargers beating the Broncos.  The Chargers can get after the QB.  Overall wouldn't bet either way though.  Might as well have dubbed these the snooze bowls between teams going nowhere, all likely to pick between 10-20 in next year's draft.

Gonna be a tough game. Vikings defense is legit. Interested to see how Ramczyk holds up at LT. The offense really struggled to move the ball in the preseason, albeit Drew only played one series and they drove down the field for a FG. The RB battle will be a good one to watch, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Payton feature Peterson tonight. 

The Vikings offense struggled to move the ball last year and should be a good learning game for the new players on defense. I expect Cam to give Remmers a problem all night, but I'll be watching the rest of the line to see if they can give him some help. Rankins has been pretty stout this preseason. Hoping it translates over. Finally some speed and athletiscm in the linebacking corp. Really have enjoyed watching Klein so far. He's not Kuechly, but playing with him sure has helped. Then I pray for no injuries in the back end this year.

Unfortunately, I think the awful offensive line of the Vikings might skew how the Saints defense will look. I'm thinking next week we will see a more true version of the Saints. But who knows? I'll be watching regardless.

The Seahawks have by far the worst OL in football (on display yesterday)-but yes, the Vikings deserve Honorable Mention.

I like the Vikings stadium a lot more than that s*** they have in ATL

Yep, but the Metrodome roof collapsed and the threat of relocation to LA was real.  Still a political quagmire in Minny.  

I say with no relocation threat and multiple cities with far more disastrous stadiums/demographics than CLT, that BOA will remain home of the Panthers for a long time regardless of owner.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
