Get used to it. He's the antidote for the Viking's curse. Nothing but 219 lbs. of dawg. Don't say I didn't tell y'all.

I had a feeling that both the o and d needed to knock the rust off, so I  kept telling myself to calm down, things would come together.


Whew.

Maybe this is our guy?  He’s 22.  If everything went perfectly he could be our QB into the 2040s. Could you imagine not doing retreads like we’ve done since Fran?

My God.  That was awful, defense.

Not good news but makes sense with shit turf

Vikings already won the offseason without playing a game

Soldier Field turf really sucks today

We have all been waiting for this game since the moment we heard Goodell say JJ McCarthy, so it seems a little surreal it is going to happen in a few hours.  I definitely feel an extra level of nerves for the game.  I think we all know we can't put too much into one road game, but definitely want to see the signs of potential, that he is the guy many of us think he is.  Also just from a personal standpoint, he is such a good kid, you want to see him succeed.
