I guess giving rides, even if it’s to a second stringer, is still impressive.
When Kupe comes back (Hopefully 100%) and the others at 100% our OL is to 5 OL in the NFL if not the best.
AND THE ROAD TO THE SUPERBOWL WILL GO THROUGH DENVER..BRONCOS COUNTRY STAND UP
Only reason I’m happy for that ‘bye’ week – everybody healthy for the Pats Game in Denver!!!
OK – Good Day – Daddy out!!!!
Im all for manning for mvp, but he has put numbers up like this before. Most of us on the blog knew he would put up these numbers. Being from central canada, I got to see every vike game on tv and what he did this year with that qb, o-line, no receivers 9 man fronts every game was unbeleivable to watch. The NFL almost always gives it to a QB but this year they have no choice. If the vikes dont make the playoffs then its a different story
anyone think they can Rex Ryan
The way I like to see it, is a rematch of the Texans at New England. The Texans being victorious and coming to Denver for the conference title.
Manning has put up numbers like this before….when he won the MVPs. This year is actually better than a couple of them. Many people didnt even think he would come back then when he did many wondered at what capacity.
What AD has done has been amazing. Dont get me wrong. But he isnt the MVP. Without him yes they would do worse. But so would we with Manning. Vikes pulled out a 6th seed by winning some big games. We got the #1 seed and a 13-3 record and top 5 offense. Vikings OL is one of the highest rated run blocking units in the NFL. Also Harvin is quite the receiver. When he went down it went even more to AD.
Manning makes everyone better. AD doesnt do that. He doesnt make those around him better. A real MVP does just that IMO. Not only must he lead the team but must make those around him better not carry them. AD isnt leading or making them better. He is carrying the team which is great for OPOY but not MVP.
Texans or Patriots is fine with me. Like to get a rematch with either one, and go to the SuperBowl and give the Falcons their payback as well.
According to Ryan he was assured his job is safe.
Oh now he said he hasnt been assured. Lol early in the week I saw a report saying he said he was.
Last thing. Manning has broke records and made history. AD hasnt done that. He almost did. But just missed on one record.
Im not 100% sure about this but I believe Manning is the only QB to go 13-3 with 2 different teams and get the #1 seed with two different teams.
Blair Walsh of the Vikings has one heck of a leg. 9 FGs of 50+ yards.
Daddy, If we play the pats its in week 3 of the playoffs. They are 2 seed and have a bye as well. Which will be the afc championship. One game at a time.
I know Socal…it’s that 3rd week against the Pats that worries me.
