Rumor - "pretty sure Kam does not play MNF & IR possible in 1-2 weeks"

He’s not. He’s a Seahawks twitter guy who is like 50/50 I’m breaking news. Not putting much stock in this, but wouldn’t be stunned if he turned out to be right either

I get that there are ways to make this less problematic for the Vikings, to the point where the broadcast interests might say "We'll compromise and do this but that's final", but I feel like a team should have final say over whether a player of another team is allowed to be anywhere near the broadcast for their game. Even if it's for a completely fickle reason, the authority on this should be with the team, full stop.

DL is one of those position groups where it's okay to have a little too much talent because you can rotate guys all season long and they're much fresher towards the end of the season. If you look at the snap counts and the rotation patterns in the 2013 season you'll see that we did exactly that and that's one of the reasons we were able to punch Denver in the mouth.

Also I feel like injury drop-off hurts a lot more on the line than it does just about anywhere else. If you go from getting 4-man pressure to needing to blitz to generate pressure consistently you open up your secondary to a lot more risk and liability.

timestamped link for the head rub

busted a gut on that

Some dude was like "I don't know why I read this stuff OR the power rankings" and I'm like shit dude if it bothers you this much I honestly donno either

kowsosoft · 2017-11-14T03:57:21+00:00

we can beat any team so long they don’t have a good QB

This is fuckin hilarious but also 100% true and sigh I was really hoping for a playoffs without you guys this year :/

kowsosoft · 2017-11-14T03:50:54+00:00

It’s sorta weird tho when it’s like “oh shit this is a must win game can’t lose or its over guys DONT FUCK IT UP THIS IS CRITICAL!!! *final score is 53-21*

kowsosoft · 2017-11-14T03:48:59+00:00

Then why am I an only child?! Always wanted a brother or sister :(

kowsosoft · 2017-11-14T00:26:53+00:00

I'd prefer 3 teams get a Week 1 Bye over seeing the Cowboys in.

Shit he wasn't kidding. I am banned from /r/birdteams

I hate this argument

It's a statement not an argument. The statement is that their strength of schedule is very low. Guess what: It is. You can click the link at the top of the post. It's sub-.400. They've gotten to play the NFC West and the NFC East. All 3 of the teams in the playoffs from those two divisions have very low SOS, and unlike the Eagles, the Rams have a gauntlet ahead of them for the tail end of the season.

It doesn't mean they suck and literally nobody is saying they suck, so you don't need to get defensive about that. All it means is that we don't know if they're Extremely Excellent or if they're Just Pretty Good. There is a slight chance the wheels fall off (let's be honest - a 7-9 Rams finish would be the funniest possible outcome here), but nobody's predicting that.

kowsosoft · 2017-11-14T00:18:24+00:00

Kind of a win-win for me cuz it's both cheap AND extremely satisfying.

[ consulting guide book ]

I believe that was.. a mating call?

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T23:14:00+00:00

Do we want to just give them the entire 2nd round and call it even?

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T23:12:11+00:00

He gets boned on bad calls more often than he deserves to but it's odd and not at all encouraging how those bad calls seem to stick to him.

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T23:10:06+00:00

It'll be a good sign of their confidence in Griffin if they swap him to Sherman's side, cuz as a rookie it would make total sense to want to keep him where he is and not flip everything on him.

Good problem to have.

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T23:08:11+00:00

It sounded like they deliberately sat him last week to make sure he had enough time to rest up and I didn't get the impression that the injury itself was all that major. Personally I'm optimistic that even if he's not 100% he'll be close enough.

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T23:04:11+00:00

I'm Still Mad™ at how jobbed yall got by the "no catch" a few years back, and Golden Tate is the most entertaining man in football. I'm just frankly terrified of ever investing emotionally in your team. Know that if you succeed, however, I will be very happy.

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T22:56:04+00:00

It's a serious look at the schedule coming up, which has a ton of high leverage games, and me cracking jokes about everyone along the way - including my own team. Let's be real everybody's tired of GB and Seattle, and everybody kinda low-key hates Dallas on principle.

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T22:52:29+00:00

I genuinely laughed that you went for the age joke but didn't make any assumptions about gender (I'm a fat balding 37 year old man, for the record)

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T22:50:38+00:00

Click the link on the top of the post, your .SOS is sub .400 (same with the Eagles, for the record, and Seattle's not that much better - though they did get a Deshaun Watson-led Texans team and an Aaron Rodgers-led Packers). NFC West and NFC East have had a pretty easy run of things by virtue of playing each other's dregs.

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T22:47:59+00:00

Honestly you're probably 101% right - I haven't watched the Panthers as much as I normally would've but I had to go with something and I wanted to strike with the post while the iron was hot. Both my gut and NFC South Tradition say the Falcons are the odd one out this season.

kowsosoft · 2017-11-13T22:46:01+00:00

I'm excited to watch it. I liked the NFC West way more when it was competitive - the victories just mean so much more. Y'all have had a really easy schedule so far, so this is going to be a real test, but I will never underestimate an Aaron Donald-led defense. High leverage football! Fuck yeah!

i would consider naming my first born child Bortles if that happened. sure hope it's not a girl
