Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 21 Posted October 21 I'm sure the league will invest another new rule that we've never heard of, cost the Lions the game, and give the bye the win. Seriously though, I feel really good about where this team is at the bye week. They are 5-2 and have shown they can beat good teams and win the games they are supposed to. Some of the things we were worried about as fans, like their offensive line cohesion after losing Ragnow, ability to run block as effectively, their pass rush, and how losing both coordinators would effect this team haven't appeared to have had a significant negative impact on this team. They are hitting their stride on offense under Morton and he's got Gibbs in particular really looking strong. On defense, Sheppard has the pass rush looking strong after a lackluster opener against Green Bay. Had we played a bit better in KC, not made so many coverage mistakes on defense, and not gotten jobbed out of a TD by the league, we could be 6-1. We're 5-2 though and I'm fine with that because I like how this team has been playing. 1 Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Minnesota's season is riding on this next game. If they flop, the season's over. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Glad the Vikings locked in Kwesi. Their lack of draft success is going to catch up with them. Quote
