I wonder if Cleveland will open up some new holes for Dalvin on the left side.

Status: offline 		The Vikings have a new OC, changes on the OL, and many different players on the defense. Not just Cousins, but I am guessing other anti-vaxxers on the team has made a little bit of a schism.

Looking forward to the game, even though I have some reservations on the Vikes.

OK Marty, put your money where your signature is:

If we lose, my signature line is, "I'm going with whatever Marty says"

With a win we could just reverse that to '... whatever Tom says' but, obviously, you should be doing that anyway ...

so if we win, your signature line is, "I'm going with whatever my cabana boy tells me to say"

Deal?

I don't feel that strong about Cincy. Burrow looks good in highlights, but the Vikes should apply plenty of pressure. Could end up being a great game.

I didn't expect you to ... I'm just messin' around.

Trying to kill time. Can't wait to see the latest version.

Vikes will be behind at halftime, but will make adjustments and win the game by a FG.

Instead he fell apart after about the 3rd snap

I loved the play where it looked like he juked the defensive guy and just let him by

Since the starters didn't play during the preseason, it was hard to figure out what this team was going to look like. It only took one game to give us a good indication of how the year is going to go.

I think we can beat the Lions at home, and maybe beat the Panthers and the Bears on the road, but otherwise this team is sunk. After watching a lot of football today, it's apparent that the next two weeks are going to be particularly brutal as Arizona and Seattle are going to destroy us.

According to Zimm, they just got to figure out how to play the C-gap. Then everything will come together!
