Or kenny stills, or well any of them that are actually on the team to play WR.

As for the game, I think RG3 is incredibly overrated. To me, he's basically a christian Ponder (one read QB that prefers running) that can't really run all that well anymore and his poor play is a big reason they're 3-5 in the dreadful nfc east division.

OF course we have the real deal christian ponder so that sucks for us and we're going to get out coached by shanahan pretty hard so overall I still think the Skins win this one pretty easily but we'll see.

Should be another ugly night of football with two incredibly poor teams battling it out.

Skins 27 Vikes 20

I just wanna see AP run wild at this point.

What's the longest losing streak in Vikings' history?

Minnesota is #31 in the league for passing TDs this season, with 6. Jacksonville has 4.

Anyone remember our Thursday night game last year? Yeah I wish I could forget it too. (Bucs 36-17). For whatever reason we blow extra hard in prime time games so ....

Washington 33-17 ... RG3 has only 1 rushing TD in his last 17 games, 0 in his last 8, so that means he'll get at least 2 tonight. 18 games ago he scored twice against us (the last time he scored 2 TD in a game), including a back breaking 76 yarder in the 4th. AD will score his 1st 60+ yard TD since week 1. Washingtons defense is just as bad as ours, not quite as bad as Dallas, but pretty bad, so no excuses for Ponder.

Crazy fact, we play AFC teams at home more often than Washington lol. We've played Buffalo, Miami, Jacksonville, Oakland, and Tennessee 3 times each at the dome since 1999, Washington only once. It's only their 2nd trip to the dome since 1998.

And don't forget that Ponder only has 3 passing TD's (and 6 INT's). Ponder has more rushing TD's (4) than passing TD's.

Well today is about to start an 8 game win streak!

The 1961 Vikes lost 7 in a row under Van Brocklin

Place your bets.

I want this action.
Passing TD's (1) -- you have these two mixed up. Ponder has more running TD's than passing this year. I'll take the under.
Running TD's (.5) -- This is a little low. I'll go over.
INT's (1.5) -- I think he'll toss only one. Under.
Yards passing (220) -- No way he gets 220 yards. This is national TV. My O/U would be 160 yards. Under.
Lost fumbles (.5) -- Almost guaranteed to fumble on at least one Orakpo sack. Over
Overall QB rating (75) -- You hit this one on the nose. I'll say just a tad under.

Thanks for letting me play.

Passing TD's (1) Push
Running TD's (.5) (Seriously?) Over
INT's (1.5) Under
Yards passing (220) Over
Lost fumbles (.5) Over
Overall QB rating (75) Under

Really sad in light of memories of John Gilliam, Amahd Rashad,, Sammy White, Anthony Carter, Jake Reed, Chris carter, and Randy Moss to see us this Low
