Everson Griffen being evaluated as Vikings concerned about well-being

Sucks...this guy is awesome, hope he gets better soon, but this doesn’t sound good.

Man I’m looking forward to Thursday night football and cousins getting killed. This Minnesota team could be going down the implode path.

I like Kirk in that game TBH, and Minnesota

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

I'll start with the caveat that anything can happen in this league and the Vikes could very well win this game and Cousins could light it up.

However, I feel this is the same Cousins from last year and before, a QB that can put up numbers but not enough to carry the team and its deficiencies. He threw the typical game ending pick towards the end of the GB game, but was saved by the Clay Matthews penalty. And the Bills just manhandled him last week.

The Vikes defense doesn't seem as elite as it was supposed be and Dalvin Cook appears to be banged up.

Despite losing their CBs, the Rams D is still super talented and I feel their receiving group is much better than Minnesota's. I just don't seem how the Rams lose this game.

But I know secretly you want to see Cousins embarrassed....I know I do. :)

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

I still don't understand the bitterness towards Cousins around here (and other places.) People just need to let it go...

Anyways, one interesting thing I saw on ESPN is that the Raiders are being outscored 37-3 in the Fourth Quarter alone. Those savvy veterans can't seem to hang for the duration of an entire NFL game. Obviously this is random speculation but I do wonder what the root cause of that would be.

Anybody paying attention to the Raiders this year and have some insight/thoughts?

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

I don't get the Cousins hate either. It just didn't work out. If any of us were Cousins we all would hate working for Bruce and Dan. But anyhow Rams are just the better team right now. I wish we had McVay as our coach.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

1st time in a while I'm actually excited about a Thursday night game. Got my popcorn ready. Go Rams!

That already happened last week. I was giving my unbiased opinion though.

However, given how the league has been lately, it would not surprised me if he and the Vikes tear it up. They got embarrassed last week by the Bills, and we all know how the Redskins played after being embarrassed by the Colts.

I don't think Rushskins was hating on Cousins, he simply stated a fact about Cousins.

I feel bad for my good friend, who is huge fan of Raiders. Even he knew that there is good chance that the Gruden hire will end up making Raiders worse and Raiders seem like they are going down that direction based on last 3 games. The issue with Gruden is he is so set on following only his strategies.

A week or so ago I went on a rant against Cousins, so that's where people are coming from with the comments.

However, I think for this Thursday Night, I was trying to state the facts about how Cousins has been in the past, and what I've seen from him and the Vikes in the first three weeks.

He couldn't beat the Cowboys or win big games and to me he came off as a phony weasel. Fuck him. Its not like something I dread on every day but if they're on I'm rooting for him to lose. Go Rams!

that rant was awesome...you are correct.

This Rams team is fun to watch from what I hear...Im just looking forward to see them play...but I will slighty smirk if I see Cousins effing up. I just hope the Vikes get run off the field.

Cousins was all about the money...their consequences to that decision.

He's going against a Sean McVay team. If any coach in the league knows KC it is McVay. I will be amazed and impressed if on a Thursday night game, KC has a stellar game against McVay/Phillips and that front 7.

I was more referring to Chico's strange obsession with Cousins. Although I see the same attitude across the internet in various places.

He has the weapons around him, but speaking of QB's (ours)

Alex Smith #s so far.

Avg time in the pocket 2.81 Seconds (11th)
Less than 2.5 Sec's in the pocket = 39 of 49 (79.6%) 2Tds 0 ints
2.5 Sec's or more = 27 of 45 (60%) 2tds 1 Int.

When he's pressured he's pretty dang good as it shows above.

I know it's early,but I'm looking at a[Rams-Eagles]NFC Championship game..just a feeling.

The situation with Cousins was handled poorly by both sides.The thing that bothered me about Cousins was seeing {I think it was NFL films production}where it was inside look and Cousins was talking about how he was so disappointed the day after the Smith trade because he wanted to stay with the skins,I call major major bullshit on that.And I don't blame him for wanting out,just dont believe the bullshit.

Snyder poisoned the well for Cousins when he gave RGIII the key to the city and meddled when Shanny wanted to move on from him. Maybe someone like Alex Smith would have let that go, but most people would not.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

Lets go Rams! I want a forty burger dropped on the Vikes tonight

I say Rams and either Da Bears or the Panthers . I think Tampa will run out of steam....

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

I think the Eagles are a Giants/Ravens in their past Super Bowl years. Got hot at the right time, but nowhere nearly as talented as some other teams. Their defense is still great and sometimes that's all you need, but I just don't see it.

Chicago is solid...but Trubisky has been what I expected. He isn't good and is being lifted with good coach who gives him short/easy completions and a solid run game.

Couple key things to look at with Trubisky...Great Completion %, Ok QB rating....but he avg 5.7 YPA (terrible) and has more INT than TD.

They aint going nowhere with Trub...Bears gave up Draft picks to move up to take him....meanwhile they could have had Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

go rams

He is an Avg QB kinda like Dak, needs a lot of help to look good

I can see it because they were able to win a Super Bowl even though they were without their stud QB. Now, they have their outstanding QB to go with their bad-ass defense.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

Screw you Ram fans, I went double or nothing on the Vikings + 6 1/2 with a friend I won all 3 bets with last week. I figure with the two starting corners out the Minnesota receivers and Kirk will tear them up.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

I just can't root against Cousins. And I the same goes for McVay.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

Told u guys Kirk would ball out tonight, he always does after a bad game. Love seeing it too, I don't wish anything but great for him. Httr

I benched him today thinking the rush would get to him. Feel free to point and laugh.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

Aldrick Robinson and Kirk having a love connection.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

both QB's are just dropping dimes.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

Minnesota defense just overrated.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

I feel like the Joe Buck on tv is a midget imposter of the real Joe Buck and Fox is just fucking with us.

I was just going to say the same thing. The last two times I've seen them they're getting abused.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

That brainfart at the end of the half by the Vikings was classic Cousins.

Re: Around the League Week 4
 

Jesus Fucking CHrist. I sat Goff down on the bench in FF this week thinking the Vikings defense would be formidable. :madani::frustrated:
