Prob doesn't matter who is at rb with the line the way it is

That being said it's not a terrible option. Have to assume he's at his WR ceiling so why the he'll not

What a pathetic team. Clemmings is on another level for being bad at his job, it's pretty unreal. What's with Zimmer not going for it early on when we obviously knew it was going to be a shoot-out? How are the Packers WRs NEVER called for OPI, when they do it nearly every ****ing play?

Wow, unreal. When they were following Zim's plan they were doing amazing, why would they go away from it or 2nd guess it?

Still waiting on contract #s and intention to play him at LT vs RT. He will be better than Kalil or Clemmings regardless of what position he plays and sounds like he comes cheaper than Kalil which is amazing since Kalil can't be counted on to be healthy or effective.

Strikes me kinda like the Boone signing. You're paying top 10 type money at the position for a serviceable but averageish player. Could argue Boone was below avg last year. Hopefully it works out better.

Has to be +ev for how bad our line was last year. Clemmings was easily the worst LT in the NFL, and was literally costing us games.

Reiff is about as steady as the come. Think he is more of a RT at this point in his career

at this point our 2016 draft looks like it was a D+ at best?

We've got nothing to show for it right now but way too early to grade. Treadwell showed absolutely nothing and Alexander looked pretty bad in limited action but I still think Alexander was a good value. Hoping for a Waynes like 2nd year jump.

The 3rd rounder we traded for 2 picks this year... So ya

Thoughts on Lat Murray signing? Guess this is the official end of the AP era here. Seems Murray be a nice upgrade to just McKinnon.

Thielen contract 3 yr extension so have hi at 4 yrs ~20mm now. Shocked at how well he played last season. I like the combo of him and diggs. Hopefully Treadwell can give us a 3rd option.

Murray got like 1 yr 3mm with team options? Seems super solid if that's the case. He can pass block very well. Should be a good combo w/ mckinnon and hopefully keeps them from spending a 2 or 3 on rb

Vikings looked great, but we've all an this horse and pony show before.

Let's see how the team is playing in week 10.

So true...how many seasons have we started off 5-0 or better and sputtered? With a full training camp for Bradford to get acclimated, a complete overhaul of the o-line and an actual running game I can't help but to be hopeful. Sure the Saints defense probably is in the bottom of the league rankings but regardless im happy with the effort and enthusiasm shown by our offense and the defense.

The Vikings could be up 21 with a minute to go with the ball in the SuperBowl and most of us would still be convinced they are going to lose. If there is going to be a team to blow a game that they were 99.999999999% to win, it'll be them.

This ****ing team for years can't seem to say onside in spots where it is obvious the other team is going to try to draw them offside. You get paid millions of dollars, how ****ing hard is it to not **** something so basic up?

I don't understand how the diggs catch was not reversed and the cook TD was. They clearly showed a still frame of diggs with both feet down and the ball in his hands. With cook they showed a still of his knee one inch off the ground and the ball ~ on the goal line.

That was one of the ****tiest games I have ever watched. The refs were beyond terrible; is it still replacement refs or what? If every game was controlled that hard by the refs and was that sloppy overall by both sides I would never watch again.
