Bridgewater Down

[Mothman]

I don't understand the hate for Sanchez. He has one bad play that seems to stick with him for his career. If we can get him, i would be thrilled.

Like Ponder, he turns it over too often. I think that's the source of a lot of the criticism.

Cold is temporary. Purple Pride is forever.

Thrilled?

Who hurt you?

I've been generally positive about Spielman but my biggest criticism has always been a complete and utter lack of any sort of contingency plan at QB. He gets his guy and then refuses to draft anyone else except for a very late or undrafted FA. It's ridiculous how many times this has come back to bite him in the #### and he still doesn't change.

So now it's a scramble to grab McCown, Sanchez, Yates, or some other castoff to play behind Hill.

I agree with you a 100%. It frustrates me....

So if we get McCown, and have Hill would they be considered grumpy ole men?

He couldn't beat out Siemian for the starting job in Denver. He hasn't shown to be anything close to a competent starter other than 2 seasons with the Jets that were about 5 or 6 seasons ago.

The key word is Zimmer says injury is "significant" says it's non-contact

Zimmer: possible it's season ending

I hear you. It's aggravated me for almost a decade now. I've argued passionately about the need for the Vikings to dramatically change that approach since the early days of Tarvaris Jackson's stint with the team. I know you've been in favor of changing it too. It amazes me how often it's been met with resistance when the consequences are so obvious and so significant. Now here we are...

... and we still probably wont see a change in Spielman's approach.

Man..

Mike Zimmer said he talked to Teddys mom a couple times.

[dead_poet]

Mike Zimmer said doesn't look good about Teddy playing this year

[dead_poet]

Zimmer is really, really emotional.

On what he draws upon in times like these, Zimmer says he has talked with Bill Parcells, and "in spirit" his late father today.

[dead_poet]

Zimmer: they sedated Teddy and he is having an MRI right now

[HardcoreVikesFan]

I/we cannot know until later, but it is sounding structural damage of the tib-fib joint.

EDIT: Also could involve a dislocation of the tibiofemoral joint

Not pretty.

Keeping you on my mind Teddy.

Is this career threatening?

.@RapSheet just said some Vikings players were throwing up on field at how gruesome Teddy's Knee Injury was. Sounds like def. more than ACL
