Metellus should drop in there every play. It's a huge weak point in the zone.

So I guess this means I can't bale before the 4th quarter because we may not start balling until then.

Ha! I was so close to flipping over to Hudson and Rex reruns, but decided to stick it out. Glad I stayed.

A lot had to go right for us to win today. Nice win against the Pack. Wentz looks like Joe Kapp back there. Decent floor but what is his ceiling if Murray is out for more than a game or two. At Chicago next week.

Turner had a breakout game. Dude is just so strong and fast.

1 sack and SEVEN of our FIFTEEN QB hits.

From the eye test, seven almost seems low. Turner was the main reason Love got less accurate as the game went on.

THIS. Turner was all over the place. He was close on a few more sacks. also had a strip. Just disruptive.

If Murray is out next week, I guess I’d start JJ.

He’s probably worse than Wentz, but he has theoretical upside…

Interesting. Maybe that's what KOC is thinking too.

100% it will Murray next week

He wasn't that rattled.

And even if he was it would be Wentz for sure. You don't go to your 3rd when your #2 just had a huge win.

Use your head.

I posted that when Wentz was struggling.

Carson deserves the start.

OK, Wentz will start if Murray can't go.
He was given a game ball.
The Vikings won with him leading the offense.
He beat out JJM for the 2nd string job.

But let's not call his performance HUGE.

He only threw about 16 times, for 133 yards, Addison and Jennings had no catches, He checked down too quickly at times.
On the positive he did throw three TDs...and realizing the free play was a biggie for me. and the one to Hockenson was a dart. the third was a dump and JJ did the rest....

It was a good game in the end, but it left a lot to be desired.

Lots of people have backup QB itis. Wentz was rusty but he didn't hit any 5 yard short passes early. Next game is on the road at Chicago. Who gives you the best shot to win?

Who is calling his performance huge? Err, "HUGE"?

Like I said a month ago, call him down from the buffet and he'll be ready to go before the injury timeout is over.

And 'ready to go' is very relative. But considering he had next to no reps with the 1st team offense and was shitty out of the gate, he did ok.

Very few backups get tossed into a game and produce 3 TDs, 0 picks.

Todd M did.

And Like I said, it was a good game.

I just took exception to the "huge" part.

I wouldn't get any aspirations of dominance by this team if Wentz is running the show long term.

REally wouldn't get that way with either Murray or JJM either.

I read it. He didn't call Wentz' performance huge. He said "You don't go to your 3rd when your #2 just had a huge win". And the post was pro-Murray.

He can speak to it, but it looks like he is saying the order is Murray, Wentz, JJM. There are certainly no aspirations regarding Wentz.
