And that speaks volumes about the performance.

Nobody knows what the end result will be from all of Howie Roseman’s mind-stimulating moves, but we should all thank the resurrected director of football operations for expanding Philadelphia’s NFL interests far beyond the Eagles. But the damage of that deal will accrue over the long haul; in the short term, Bradford should roughly approximate the production that Minnesota would have gotten out of Bridgewater. San Francisco finished 5-11.
Seahawks will honor flag • Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin tweeted Thursday that the team “will honor the country and flag” in a “demonstration of unity” prior to Sunday’s season opener against Miami. There’s going to be times when you don’t want to do anything. All Vikings fans wish we could tell you.
Despite plenty of questions at quarterback, can the Minnesota Vikings go on the road and beat the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at 1PM ET?
Bradford is Minnesota’s long-term option at quarterback this season and perhaps next year depending on Bridgewater’s recovery, but he’s not ready yet.
“I got a call from the doctor today, and everything was good”, head coach Mike Zimmer said Thursday. “There are 31 other teams feeling the same way right now”. Jarius Wright will also make his share of plays in this offense. “I think the verbiage part of it – because he’s an experienced veteran – and learning the system and learning the plays is the easier part than getting in sync with the guys on the field on a play-to-play basis”.
After this division’s top three, there’s a bit of a drop-off before we get to the Chicago Bears.
Waiting for the Vikings’ passing offense to produce consistently may be what fantasy owners are forced to do before they place Diggs in their lineup. They have to find a way to harness that feeling and expound on it as the season progresses. Read on for our Minnesota Vikings vs. Tennessee Titans preview. I don’t know if he’s a lock to be the NFL’s next great linebacker, but he’s certainly got to be on the short list. The front office clearly thinks this team is capable of making a Super Bowl run. They won. You try not to let it happen again. “I’ve been studying more of our playbook this week, making sure I’m comfortable with what we’re doing”.
Vikings safety Andrew Sendejo said a win obviously would be big in building the team’s confidence. That said, his current cap figure for 2017 is $18 million, which is more than double the next-highest running back in the league.
That confidence could be key with the home opener against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.
Who is going to start at quarterback on Sunday?
While he wouldn’t bite when asked whether the team overlooked the 49ers previous year, Griffen was clear the Vikings wouldn’t overlook the Titans. The phrase “In Zim We Trust” gets thrown around a lot at Daily Norseman, and with good reason.

The 38-year-old is in his third stint playing under Zimmer, which included four years in Dallas, two years in Cincinnati and now two years in Minnesota.
