So we're just gonna sit here and not act like the Vikings aren't 7-2??

[HotCheetos]

WIth the exception of Favre, Peterson has had the following QB's hand the ball off to him:

Tarvaris Jackson
Kelly Holcomb
Brooks Bollinger
Gus Frerotte
Christian Ponder
Joe Webb
Josh Freeman
Matt Cassell

Excuse me if us Vikings fans arent a bit excited by somebody who makes plays from the QB position. He may not put up fancy numbers, but if you watch the games the last two years, this kid makes plays when it counts.

Keep sleeping on Teddy please.

*edit* How the hell could i forget about Donovan Mcnabb!!!, haha.

I've seen plenty of Vikings games, he isn't good. Yes he is tons better than anyone on that list, but that's like being the tallest manlet.

Edit: I shouldn't say isn't good...but hes middle of the pack in the NFL at best.

[BullBoy8]

Sneaky dominating win for the Bears this week. Langford bout to carry that team to a wild card

Ya Bears *should* be 6-3 but choked the lions game, and IMBO, should have beat the vikings but choked that away too. Vikings and Bears are clearly the top 2 teams in the North right now, record doesnt reflect my thoughts though.

That vikings-packers game will be sick though

[HoustonMiscer]

If it meant I could win games I'd take "Not a good QB" Bridgewater srs. The only thing that matters is that the Vikings are winning. If you are a Vikings fan who is complaining about Bridgewater in 2015 then fuk you, you don't deserve a 7-2 team

[NeoKantian]

I thought the Vikings would be competitive in the division before the season began because they have Peterson back. I think in 2012 they rode Peterson and their defense to the playoffs with Christian Ponder at QB.

[Evolutionary1]

all the people hating itt cheer for teams with a losing record.....

[HotCheetos]

I agree that the Viking and Bears are the best two teams in the NFC North right now, but the second the Packers get their crap together (if they do) they are instantly better than both.

What is even wrong with them? Is it their Oline? Defense? Injuries or what?

[heyquikquestion]

The Vikings-49ers was at like 11 PM Central. I'll give them a pass for that one.

Bridgewater is ok. He isn't going to win any shootouts but with the way the D is playing he won't have to.

LOL at anyone who doubted Peterson because he was 30 and missed a year. Dude is a football god.

[BJohnny1988]

lol at Viking fans playing the victim.

You're not a Toronto, Dodgers, Brady, Rodgers, Cowboys, CP3, LeBron, Boston, New York or Kobe fan (I know I missed some) so chill out. People are purely being critical of your QB because there's a bunch of QBs in his class that will forever be linked. You haven't even popped up on people's radars enough for them to be hating on you yet.

[wildchild11]

Fukin lol at the bridgewater critics. At any time in the NFL, there about 15 quarterbacks that are competent enough to compete and win games with. The other half of the league have QBs that don't cut it.

Bridgewater is in that 1st tier, giving the Vikings a useful QB for the 1st time since 2009.


Thats enough.

[Berts]

Best defense in the NFL in points allowed per game. The #1 stat in defense that matters most. Gave up 2 TD's to Carr with a couple great catches, that's hard to defend. Didn't allow any points in the 2nd half. Also left 10 points on the table. Settling for a FG when Kyle dropped the wide open TD pass. Walsh missing 2 FG's hurt. The Vikings are a good team but great teams take advantage of those opportunities. Also the Vikings need to hit some deep balls. That will open up the running game even more. They are progressing every week and only getting better but they have a long ways to go. Their schedule is brutal coming up while the Packers gets easier.

We all will get to see who the real Vikings are in the weeks to come.

I think all Vikings fans have not been this excited since 2009.

Skol!!

Let's not talk trash yet, the Vikings have a long history of losing huge games like the one this coming weekend.

[HotCheetos]

What is even wrong with them? Is it their Oline? Defense? Injuries or what?

Mostly skill position injuries and a lack of confidence from Rodgers (IMO). The new play caller is also way too conservative. I never thought I'd say it, but MM did a better job running the offense, and I'd prefer he start play calling again.

[HamMach1]

Moved to Minneapolis about 5 months ago and the Vikings are 7-2. All they needed was my presence

He certainly has potential to be a good QB, but let's not break out the anointing oil here. He's the 4th best QB in his own division behind Rodgers, Stafford and even Cutler. He could certainly move up that list, but the Vikings have made the playoffs several times on APs back. You give him a legit QB like Favre and the team competes for Super Bowls. I just don't see that happening this year. I'd say Carolina, New York, Green Bay, and Arizona all have a better chance come playoff time. I would certianly love to see AP win a ring, but he's this generations Barry Sanders.

I find it funny that a few years ago that was the same logic I used to say why Kaepernick was a decent QB and several Vikings fans said I was delusional and the guy sucked because he wasn't throwing up 300+ 3TD+ games every week.

I was wrong about Kap...we'll see which way Bridgewater goes. You're right though he's a competent QB who can make plays when called upon but otherwise knows he just can't get in the way of Peterson and the defense.

The major difference is that Bridgewater isn't an immature douche who will let the success go to his head (dead serious).

Zimmer is an awesome person and a solid coach. Vikings are going to be formidable for the next few years.

And neither has Kaep.

[EaglesBrah10]

Vikings are like the mini Seahawks when they first started winning games.

Young Qb with similar skill sets (Goatwater not as good yet)
Elite RB
Great Defense

It's not their year but they're getting there. (Mirin use of all 3 deres?)

I got on record the 2nd biggest vikings homer on this forum saying Bridgewater isn't good so watch yourself Bridgewater homers.

[wickedman]

AP looked like a legit monster yesterday, prime speed for the first time from what I could tell. Was thinking about throwing $20 on him as MVP at 50-1.

Friend emailed this to me, I did not confirm stat but he is trust worthy.

"AP had more yards after contact yesterday than any other RB had rushing period"

Lmao, you guys didn't choke; Clutchwater just dropped that heavy dick at the end of 4th quarter (:

This x 350. Your average neckbeard miscer doesn't see the invaluable plays Teddy makes with his feet in the pocket or the incredible mental toughness Teddy has. The guy just turned 23 and acts like he's been in the league for years.

As long as they're winning Vikings fans are going to just LOL @ all these Teddy haters.

Nobody is taking Matthew "Chubbs" Stafford or Jay "Crybaby Bitch" Cutler over Teddy man, thanks for the giggle m8.

And yeah, AP hasn't done that "several times" ; He did it once with Ponder in 2012 against a very easy schedule. Stop acting like you know what you're talking about.

Don't you ever compare that chithead to Bridgewater. Bridgewater actually has the brains to play QB.

Teddy Ballgame is a winner, has been since his college days at Louisville. Haters gonna hate

remember when this mofo was listed as a QB/WR in fantasy a few years back when he ended up having to step in at QB? Could plug him in at WR or flex and essentially have 2 QBs, lol

Joe Webb is the man haha

[BJohnny1988]

Teddy does nothing all game.

Then he'll use his quick feet to slide away from a sack in the 4th Quarter.
Vikings fan:
YOU SEE THAT? THAT'S WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. HE'S A WINNAR!

lol, foh.

I'm sorry, I didn't see Teddy throw a game ending INT (on top of another costly INT earlier in the game) yesterday ?


Guess that means you should .. Shut the **** up ?

[Poppingtags]

Am I missing something here? Bridgewater has looked like nothing. AP looks like AP though.

This.jpg. Bridgewater has 7 TDs and 6 INTs this year in 9 games...
