Sure, the Pats are at home, but they're also down to their third QB and Miami gave 'em almost all they could handle... Should be an interesting week.

Quote:In addition to a torn meniscus, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson also has a torn lateral collateral ligament, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington. Coach Mike Zimmer is not so pessimistic, but it's looking a lot like Peterson will be out for the season. Can a team lose two stars and still compete? I guess we'll see this Sunday when the Vikings' reserve backs face the Carolina defense. By all accounts, in Sam Bradford, we've got a "just okay" quarterback, and now we're depending on "just okay" running backs. Our newly revamped offensive line appears to be struggling. Can we win games with a good defense, and a so-so everything else? I'm hopeful that Bradford can produce in Minnesota unlike he has in the past, but I also think we'll be facing a long season filled with a lot of lost games. Is 8-8 a reasonable expectation now? Dare anyone hope for 10 or more wins? I don't know. It seems the team's entire future is up in the air. ![[Image: extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/zf86M5L7/extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg) RE: NFL 2016 Pick'em League!

I don't consider Bradford "just okay". He's been plagued by injuries in the five years he's been in the league, so I don't think we've really seen him shine. If he manages to stay healthy (a big 'if' considering the poor pass protection he's getting), this could be his breakout season. Yes, everything is up in the air, but I'm actually optimistic (a condition I call The Perennial Curse of the Vikings Fan). If not for the penalties committed by the secondary, the defense effectively shut down Green Bay, which is no small feat. And defenses can win games. Hell, the Ravens won a Super Bowl with a so-so offense but with a monster D. The big question for me is whether the offense will be able to run the ball. After all, so-so RBs or not, that is supposed to be what that revamped offensive line specializes at. If they can pound the ball, Bradford can sell the play-action and get some time. Then? Who knows? In my opinion, they have the tools -- on paper at least -- to be a contender, with or without AP.

We won this last Superbowl with a defense that dragged our offense kicking and screaming the whole way. Defense, as they say, wins championships.

A lot of those penalties in the secondary were purposeful though. Either commit the foul and break up the pass or live with a deep ball. I think Newman was just playing smart defense. 
Right, all the Week 3 picks are in: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing (click "Week 3" down the bottom if it doesn't load the right screen).
The Wisdom of the Crowd picks this week were: Patriots Cardinals Raiders Giants Dolphins Ravens Packers Broncos Panthers Buccaneers Seahawks Chiefs Colts Steelers Cowboys Saints 
If the Bills win... I'm gonna do a dance. I see that I was the only person who picked them this week.
