    I agree with Worm that I think the Eagles being the home team is the advantage this week. They are bringing out the Kelly Greens too which should give some extra excitement, for what it’s worth.

    As far as Hurts… it’s hard to say. I think not playing in Preseason was a mistake. I do think he makes some great passes and decisions and other times he does look like he’s regressed. He is slipping out of the pocket a little early in my opinion but overall I think he’s fine. The OC change is more of my concern. The play calling is leaving them in 3rd and long more often and that’s tough on an offense. And Red Zone offense has been terrible. I’m optimistic they will figure it out but if we are still having this convo week 9-10, I’ll be a little more concerned.

    The referees really pulling for eagles to win this one. Some extremely suspicious calls so far.

    i'm excited because we usually lose and sometimes even get killed by the elite teams. not gonna get ahead of myself but hopefully the vikings can build on this and keep winning games

    Told you Addison was going to be legit and a redzone threat. Had him, Pickens, tyreek and Mostert for a 4 leg td scoring parlay. Addison is always in the +185 range usually worth betting on him for a td.

    No you jinx my f---ing bets. I quit posting bets before games. Tyreek is just an easy add to a parlay when dolphins play s--- teams. You f----- me over big time on last years Vikings vs Cowboys my Vikings upset pick. Vikings started a historic season but folded. That was an extremely rare loss. I’ll just purposely bet on the dolphins money line so they lose.

    kirk going down for the season is a big loss especially since they looked like they were starting to put it together. I don’t know much about the backup. Is he any good or do you think they will try to find someone to bring in?

    our backup is jarren hall. he's a ROOKIE 5th round pick. i'm not sure if they'll try to bring someone else in.

    i hope i'm wrong, but i don't see the vikings doing much without cousins. we don't have the type of run game you can lean on. kirk is a free agent after this season. if the vikings don't re-sign him, (as of right now) they've got NOTHING at QB. you know how the packers have been grooming jordan love and getting him ready to be the starter? well, we don't have anyone like that waiting in the wings. so it'll be interesting to see where they go from here.

    Looks like they just traded for Josh Dobbs. He’s had a decent enough year. I don’t think he’s a long term answer for anyone but could help them make a push. Do you like the trade?

    I do like it because the Vikings only gave up a 6th rounder to get Dobbs. It’s a low risk move. Hopefully he can pick up the new offense/system quickly so we can beat the Dirty Birds :grinning:

    Bills at Bengals on Sunday night

    @Detroit24 vs. @King of Kings

    well king of kings your bengals got off to a slow start but lately they've been playing some good football. will joe burrow outduel josh allen in primetime and lead the bengals to antoher win? or will the bills offense prove to be too much? who wins this one? thoughts?

    Dallas at Phildelphia

    @KnobodyKnows @Enigma vs. @The Product

    well, the eagles have been slightly better than the cowboys thus far but this division is still very much up for grabs. will dak's tendency to turn the ball over doom the boys? or will the eagles suffer a loss in front of their home crowd vs the hated cowboys? who wins this one? thoughts?

    I feel Pickett for Cousins would be a fair trade tbh Vikings would probably have to give another guy up for Pickett’s potential vs Cousins who already peaked. Or Johnson for Addison.

    d--- bengals are looking good now..,this is the time of the year they get rolling…I think bills are all over the place so I’ll take bengals to win this one…before last week I would have said bills would taken this win as a revenge game but now I’m on the bengals…27-24. Should be close regardless…

    bills secondary is beat up and looking old…bengals passing attack is on point…

    I know you guys lost cornerback White for the year which sucks because he’s very good when healthy

    did you like the trade you guys made for Raul Douglas to help bolster the beat up secondary?

    How on god’s earth is this still a narrative when Dak has 5 ints (3 in 1 game vs SF) while Hurts has 8 ints lol.

    Because Dak is known for choking in any big moment. Looks decent against s--- teams. Crushed by decent teams even the cardinals. If it comes down to Dak needing a td at the end of the game, I’m definitely betting an interception that drive. It’s that obvious to non delusional cowboy fans. His stats in crucial moments in playoff games backs it up.

    i do, don’t know much about him. But like that he is a veteran…and looking at his stats he will be needed asap…our first rounder from couple years ago…CB Kaiir Elam has been healthy scratch this year…disappointing as he is learning this formation and doesn’t fit unfortunately…

    hope the trade makes a difference…I do like the Lenard fournette pick up…I think he will be a big boost in Buffalo backfield..

    @TimmyT do you like the Dobbs trade?? Vikings get into the playoffs? What is the management deciison making for making that trade…I feel like they feel they are good enough to be a playoff team

    @Enigma dak has done a better job of taking care of the ball THIS season. all i'm saying is in general he's been turnover prone.

    @Detroit24 i like the trade for dobbs because we only gave up a 6th round pick. the vikings are doing the best they can to try to keep winning. jarren hall (the ROOKIE 5th round pick) is playing this sunday probably because dobbs hasn't had enough time to learn/familiarize himself with the system/playbook.

    i don't see us making the playoffs. there are rare exceptions, but for the most part any team losing their starting QB is a huge blow. but i hope they somehow prove me wrong and keep winning games. :grinning:
