Well done KAM [:-] Cine is in a tough place. Being a healthy scratch is concerning. but we have Bynum who is good, Smith the veteran future HOFer type guy who can still bring it, and Matellus who's been a revelation in this defense. He can't get on the field because three guys are outplaying him Having him contribute on special teams is a GOOD idea.

Question is why did he draft a S? We had much bigger needs.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/23/2023 11:19:26 AM)
Assuming the Vikings lose tonight, I must say Green Bay is due for a win, especially at home I don't know. Love looks talented, but either is inexperience his showing, or he isn't very smart.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/23/2023 11:21:49 AM)
When McConnell was with the Rams, did they usually win or lose to the 49ers ? Just wondering if he's used to being on the winning side, or on the losing side when playing against the 49ers.

Well done KAM [:-] Just think of the pressure he's going to be under to pick the right QB next draft. He'll be in the 3rd year of a 4-year contract.

As long as he at least takes a stab at it - that's all I ask. People say he's not capable of picking the right QB. I have no idea if he's qualified or not. I know this much, even someone who's never watched a game could get lucky and randomly make the right choices. Theoretically a person could meld all the consensus mocks into one list and just pick from it. You'd get some awesome picks and some duds - much like we see from every team, every year.

And the frequency of a dud is greater for 1st round QBs than for other positions in the 1st round. Probably around a 1 in 3 chance, I'd guess, of hitting on a quality QB in the 1st round. Plenty of Blake Bortles types out there.

He can pretend he's working with ETFs and just use the NFL Mock Draft Database. Spielman feasted on those "Sleeper to Watch" and "Best of the Rest" types in those draft magazines.

In Vegas right now, thinking the Vikings will probably either score a TD on their first possession, or turn the ball over.

Be sure to ask all of them.

The bet I always thought was a "lock" was the touchback on opening kick. But they have so many anymore that you don't get very good odds on it. edit: for the year, SF is at 62%, Vikings at 75% -- Maybe it's lower than I thought. Washington is at 100% for the year, Detroit at 32 with 53%

I usually work all that out in my own mind. Sometimes it can spur a nice conversation in the sports book with a complete stranger, and sometimes they (or I) share an interesting related story.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/23/2023 3:36:08 PM)
Thanks Ricky. I am thinking the game is too hard to call. I want to have some action on the game, and am looking for some bets on individual players. Gotta see who's all playing, and who's not.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/23/2023 3:38:04 PM)
If there’s a bet where Calvin McConnell burns all our timeouts with plays getting in late take it.

Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/23/2023 4:34:08 PM)
VikingzFanPage @vikingzfanpage The #Vikings “heavily pursued” Brock Purdy leading up to the draft last year, per @SeifertESPN . Minnesota was one of three teams that Purdy was considering as an undrafted free agent, before the #49ers selected him with the last pick. Now, Purdy will face the Vikings for the first time in his career tonight.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (10/23/2023 5:03:20 PM)
I don’t really care bc I think he’s a game manager in the perfect situation but don’t tell me they heavily pursued a guy sitting on their hands waiting for him to fall to free agency.

Come on. You really think ANY team would pass on Vederian Lowe, Jalen Nailor or Nick Muse - even if they had the hots for Purdy?
