The Bears are on top of NFC North as crazy as that sounds. At same time, it’s plausible they could end season going 1-6. Ignoring the Browns, the other 6 opponents have combined record of 39-20 (and some ties). Bears will either find out they aren’t that great and have melt down or truly surprise.

Lions / Eagles game: there really needs to be expedited PI calls. I understand coaches shouldn’t challenge and happy that went away. But booth should be able to see a quick replay and see it’s a horrible call and call down to get it right. Games shouldn’t be that impacted late. Replay tech exists.

Best part of NFL Sunday since Vikings suck is I picked up Steelers defense midweek in fantasy and they have two pick 6’s (otherwise it would have been Lions or Eagles in shootout likely). Vikings might be bad but at least my fantasy team is good!

I would love to see the breakdown of JJ McCarthy vs the Bears by quarter. Both games he’s looked horrible for over 3 quarters and then Chicago doesn’t do enough either game and allows Vikings to come back.

The highlights of the Vikings drive was a Chicago player on the sidelining catching a badly thrown ball. That says everything you need to know :(

JJ McCarthy has 2 more INTs today?? Want to know why Cousins and Darnold had decent years at Minnesota? They, for most part, avoided too many mistakes. JJ is going to have to find ways to cut these down and just focus on moving the chains and checking down. Stop under throwing.

I was busy running errands today rather than watch the Vikings game. Did I miss anything? Looking at the score it appears not.

I can see value of a 50 year mortgage. It’s still a poor investment and your equity on resale won’t be great, but you likely won’t be underwater. But a 15 year auto loan? That’s absolutely ridiculous. Depreciation is so bad that 7yr loans end up always being underwater. 15yrs will rollover forever.

What was that ending? All the running and you end with that throw? That was the best throw after 10 seconds of running that wasn’t even close? This team is just too young and needs lots to learn. Coaches need to focus on that point at this part. Winning games isn’t important. Learning for next year.

I apologize to everyone reading my posts. I said 7 false starts. It’s actually 8. What was I thinking.

Vikings have a chance to get into division race after last week and then put up penalty after penalty, turnover after turnover. Plus, Chicago has come back to take the lead, so double whammy week again. Minnesota just has no identity.

I can understand how you get 7 false starts maybe on road with noise. But how does the Vikings at home have 7 false starts? That’s just ridiculous.

The Vikings seem to invest in defense every year and yet every year we seem to get worse.

Four false starts? Are these players not practicing during the week?

Wasn’t JJ like 8 of 9 or something? Now he’s 12 for 21? Geez.

Vikings fumbled twice on same kickoff after fumbling prior kickoff. Let’s please stop kicking ourself. Oh, and now a false start. Hurting our own chances. Basics, y’all. Back to basics.

Luckily the Vikings have a chance in this game cause Baltimore pulling a Minnesota and kicking just FG. Unfortunately, other than MNs opening drive it’s been not great. Need to get back to basics and move the chains. Stop the deep shot. I like the attempts but JJ’s reads and throws aren’t there.

Hollywood should do a show where they pick 15 different people of varying backgrounds, put them through a short 6 month business school and then throw into a reputable company as temporary CEO and see how much changes. Help validate if CEOs are worth $100’s of millions or not.

Switching from AT&T to TMobile and so far this experience from testing and research to buying has been 2 out of 10. Sure hope their service is decent or I’ll be leaving as quick as I started. So far, i highly recommend not joining.

Good morning to all those forced to celebrate time change in the US. Arizona doesn’t and now all my events are off an hour :) Can we ban DST everywhere yet?

Watching end of this Cincy / Chicago game on Red Zone and oh my word. Cincy with two TDs in a few minutes with onside kick to take lead (with 2pt conversion). Then Chicago getting decimated on line forcing Williams to run all over and completes deep ball and YAC for TD. Geez.

JJ and offense have some communication issues to figure out this week but great game back. SKOL!

Ok KOC and JJ. Here’s where you make your money. Right play calls. Need first down. End this game without our defense. Stay in bounds. Protect ball. Don’t force issue.

Vikings need some defensive backs. Can’t get burned like that. Absolutely can’t.
