Blanton sucks.

Walsh was clutch.

Agree on the QB sneak, bad call.

Hope Teddy can go Thursday.

Except on the FG he missed. I was so worried that between that and the 10 second roll-off that prevented us from taking another shot at the end zone were going to be the killers - but it was all good in the end. Yep - Walsh is good.

We seem to have the worst luck about stuff like this. It's our turn to have the good luck that comes with a healthy return to the field on Thursday (and the best day of an NFL quarterback since the league began).

I remember that happening to someone a couple weeks ago.
Just an incredibly stupid rule that BETTER get changed, before it screws guess who ..... US

CPatt has said he hopes it can be him, when it happens.
So, if we are all giddy as geese right now, just think what'll happen when he starts throwing some of those "TD pass" thingies.

I'm actually serious.

If Teddy throws for 4,000 yards and the TEAM scores a lot of TD's, fine by me. That's how I feel about RBI's/runs too. I care about them, a lot. They're EVERYTHING. I just don't care which individual on the team gets the shiny trophy at the end of it. It's honestly kind of like saves to me. What human decided those matter? To me I like looking at what correlates most with points. In football, that's usually yardage, turnovers, etc.

Why not just Teddy?

@SouhanStrib
Teddy 2 Gloves? We can do better. Best suggestions from readers: Teddy Big Time, Teddy Touchdown, Steady Teddy.

And my favorite phrase is already "In Teddy We Trust"

Seriously, I've never felt so good about the Vikings' QB in my lifetime. Ever. Culpepper was very good for a short while but I just never felt all that comfortable with him because of his carelessness (NFCCG vs. Giants as a perfect example where he had to be betting money against us in that game). I always liked Brad Johnson, I always liked Moon/Randall, but they were temporary. I just feel so damn comfortable with Teddy already. It's a great feeling.

Hopefully he's not "Teddy dinged upalot".

Berman would have said something more like Bridge Over Troubled Waters.

Anyway David, I am enjoying seeing the previously skeptical fawning over the guy you Todd, Karl and I were chanting for on draft night.

Once it happens to Manning, it'll get changed. They're all huddled up in NYC trying to figure out how they can get him his "last chance in OT" from 2 weeks ago. That was not meant to happen to him.

He also would have had another TD if he could have hit a wide open Wright down the sidelines. That was horrible.

That was slightly over thrown. It was not a horrible pass.

While I agree, I would like to see OT changed. The game should not be decided by a coin flip, and it still essentially can be. I'd like to see them go to more of a college route. Maybe start at the 50 instead? That at least gives each team equal chances.

That was slightly over thrown. It was not a horrible pass.

He was open by 10 yards and a sure TD if the throw is anywhere near catchable. We apparently define horrible passes differently.

I like the new system. The game is only decided by a coin flip if you allow a TD.

And if you allow a TD, you deserve to lose.

I define it by the fact that no matter how far open the guy is, it's still a long way in the air. There is a reason passing % goes down as the passing range gets longer. Throwing it 5 yards short and getting it picked off would have been horrible.

Status: offline 		Teams are set up differently though. So if you have a weak defense but a great offense you are going to lose when the coin flip doesn't go your way every time. I'd prefer both teams are guaranteed a chance with the ball. So at the very least a "you get a chance for a TD too" approach.
