Vikings open as a 3 pt favorite over the Chargers

[Boltdiehard]

Vikings are 9-4, so this is a very good team. This is not the Jags. This will be a real test of Rivers to see how he plays vs. a good team, especially in crunch time. If he can keep cool under pressure and not make too many mistakes, that's a good sign. Hopefully he doesn't revert back to his "Riverboat Gambler" Rivers style slinging up picks galore.

Phil was driving the ball downfield quite a bit yesterday our guys kept dropping the ball.

This is the only way the Chargers can repay the Rams for the stadium.

Lol! True! If the Bolts win Sunday Kroenke can't complain about the do-nothing Chargers because Dean will always have "we beat the Vikings for you" in his pocket.

[Charge!]

good coaching and good scouting far outweigh draft position every single time.

Give me a group of guys who never give up over losers who quit. You ever notice the same usual suspects are picking top 10 year after year. The culture of those teams is that its OK to quit when the going gets tough.

Why is it that the winning teams never seem to lack finding impact players at the end of the rounds?

That is true...... whether you draft at pick 1, 3, 10, or 25....winning teams can draft good yo great players at any position except QB(because they go high)....... bad organizations will continue to draft so-so QB's just because they desperately need one like CLEV has done so many times and wasted so many high 1st round draft picks)....... great organizations draft a QB ONLY when there is a truly can't miss QB available......and do whatever they need to do to get that player(like broncos did for Elway, and KC did for Mahomes and Giants did for Manning...etc)...... Colts also did it for Luck.... when manning was injured, colts chose NOT to go and trade for a QB like Fitz or McCown ,,,etc who might have won a game or 2 to ruin chances of getting Luck.....

there is no need to worry about our record... even if we lose out, we will not land the number 1 draft position to get Burrow unless we trade for it....... hopefully CIN wins a game or 2 so Giants will hold that spot and a team like Chargers will have a shot at trading for him......but unfortunately PIT, NE, MIA will for sure be interested in paying nearly anything to get him....... and the worst part of not getting him is we will have to compete against him and lose to him for the next 15 years.......any team would be stupid to trade him away, even giants might keep the pick and draft him..... he is that special. He is super talented and is a character guy, who is a great leader and never gives up. Rivers attitude with better skills.......

So bottom line is Chargers can win out and it does not really change our very remote chances of trading for Burrow. The other
QB's in this draft do not warrant gambling a 1st round pick on. The guy from Oregon sucks and will end up like almost all oregon system QB's do...... sucking in NFL.......

The Vikings aren't as good on the road as they are at home. Plus, Cousins doesn't raise his performance when the going gets tough.

Lynn has done pretty well against the NFC. He's 8-3 against the NFC in his career so far. The team has that going for them under him.

For those who are unaware, the Chargers vs Vikings series history always switches winners. There has never been a team who wins 2 straight. Since the Vikings won last time, I think the pattern continues. I like our chances.

The chosen one was on fire yesterday !

In today's NFL more QBs come from lower picks. You use isolated incidence of some all time greats.

Here is where today's starting QBs came from. Its a complete crap-shoot, drafting top doesn't always generate a star.

Interesting stats, thanks Boldarblood. Me thinks we go with the QBs we have and draft the LINES!

[Electric Chicken]

This soccer stadium will look so purple ,,, it will make " DOVES CRY "

[Maniaque 6]

Only 13 QBs out of 32 were drafted in the first 10 !
How many QBs chosen in the first 10 were flops ?

Chargers are winning this. And not because I think they’re a better team, but because in true Chargers fashion, they will give us a glimpse of the “team that coulda been” now that we’re eliminated from playoffs. I’d imagine a 2-3 score win.
