NFL 2017

[Midwest Spy]

We don't talk college football in this thread Clang.

A lesson Ramsey learned the hard way.

What are your thoughts on the current Vikes power rankings MS?

I believe I've seen them anywhere from 9^th-12^th.

You know, statistically our defense has been Top 5 the last 2 years. That part of the equation is solid.

Obviously, the offensive performance the other night was awesome: 477 yards and 4 TD's, BUT it came against New Orleans, pretty much dead last in D last season.

So, I think for now, it's probably accurate.

Going on the road against PITT this week should give me a pretty good indicator of where we are.

If Bradford stays healthy and your o line can keep him off his back I think you guys have a shot. Those are pretty big if's though. I'd like to see Bradford do well there.

Last year, Bradford set an NFL record for completion percentage, but hardly any of those throws went farther than 10 yards.

So, Monday Night's game was great from the standpoint that I believe 7 of his completions traveled 20+ yards.

I always go back to: the guy was a #1 overall draft pick for a reason. He must've had SOME upside.

By the way, our new tailback, Dalvin Cook, picked up the blitz beautifully a couple of times, something AP could never really master.

Everyone around here is afraid to get too excited and we all want to see what happens in the Steel City.
