NFL 2016 Season Thread

Vikings the only undefeated team now. PG_AB would be bragging if he was still here.

He also probably have complained a lot about trading for Sam Bradford given his love of draft picks.

I root for Oklahoma in college fb.. I bet on Bradford to win the Heisman preseason the year he won it.. He's one of my favorite QB's ever.. That OU offense was the best I've ever seen in college football (Which I don't watch as closely as NBA/NCAAB/Boxing) ..




70.4% completions thus far, and in my estimation were going into the easier part of the schedule..


Between the Jazz and Vikings I watch a lot of good defense these days :cool:

What was your initial reaction to the trade though? Hard to be mad at anything when your team is undefeated, but I can't imagine you were thrilled with how much you gave up.

Speaking only from an Eagles fan perspective, but even at the time of the trade I thought it was a good deal for both sides. Sam Bradford's numbers were impressive throughout the latter half of last season, and that was despite playing in an offense with a non-existent running game, subpar O-line play, and possibly the worst receiving corps in the NFL. He completed 65% of his passes with us, and 7.9% of his passes were dropped (highest in the NFL).

I thought he was very underrated by the public perception, and the Vikings were legitimate Super Bowl contenders in all aspects outside of their QB problem. Bridgewater might miss the next two seasons and who knows how his injury will impact his game after that. The way I saw it at the time was the Vikings traded a first rounder for, at minimum, a 2 year window and potentially longer to compete for the championship.
 
We are blowing out the Vikings.

Pretty good for a team with only one good player. :D
