I only think the Eagles are truly better than the Vikings. SF is a bad match up for the Vikings, but I don't think they are a better team against the field. I'm not a believer in Dallas. I'm always confounded by the "respect" that Dallas receives. I can understand why Green Bay often gets the benefit of the doubt, but Dallas hasn't done anything in nearly 30 years to warrant such respect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definitely who I'd rather face in the wildcard round. I don't trust them further than I could throw Larry Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the marketing machine that is the Cowboys’ franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell whether their owner learned it from his good buddy that used to be in the White House or his good buddy learned it from him. Just continue to talk and keep yourself in the news cycle and people will learn to believe the nonsense you speak.

JDBrocks Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 One score games are common, and learning how to win them consistently is a good thing. "Winning in the margins" is not a way to compensate, it's a must to compete in today's NFL, for better or for worse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 in a similar vein, the Bengals at 5-4 are at the same W/L record they were last year at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the NBA has been doing it for years...the last 2-4 minutes are generally all that matter in that sport, so why not translate it over to the NFL. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This version of the NFL is a worse product than in years past, while the NBA is improving, IMO. On topic - Bills -6 is a pretty big spread at this point. I bet that comes down over the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Dantzler will likely miss Week 10 at Buffalo, meaning Evans will get a crack at a sequel. His 73.8 Pro Football Focus grade was the second-best on the Vikings defense against the Commanders. https://purpleptsd.com/2022/vikings/analysis/questions-answered-a-keenum-appearance-akayleb-evans-tonga-for-real/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook huh? whut?

JDBrocks Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Pretty good when PFF has your best players as OT, DL, WR, QB, CB. Best EDGE duo in the league, and best OT duo in the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
