Surprise Opponent of 2016

[HardRightEdge]

If Bridgewater is out, that certainly puts an entirely different paint job on things.

According to several reports Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater suffered what might end up being a serious injury during today's practice.

UPDATE: Bridgewater suffered a knee injury and was taken away in an ambulance. The rest of the Vikings practice was called off.

OH Shhhhnap! Viking fans can't get a break. Ambulance is never good!

Yeah, I feel bad for the Queens. Such harsh luck honestly.

Anyway, our chances of winning the division just went up by a lot. I don't see any reason as to why we can't go 13-3 or 14-2 now.

I dont root for injuries but after Nelson got hurt Vkings fans around kept saying injuries happen and you have to deal with it and you cant make excuses. Well Nelson is a much better player than Bridgewater so I dont want any excuses from Vikings fans

Yeah I am sure they felt bad for us when Rodgers got hurt, or Nelson got hurt

What Viking fans may or may not think should be irrelevant to you.

makes you wonder when an ambulance is called on a non-contact knee injury? i hope the kid is ok, and I don't care what their fans said about Rodgers or Nelson.

Hoping it's not as bad as first indications, and he ends up okay. I hate guys going down with serious injuries; it's all bad. But it somehow seems worse when it's "non contact" in practice or a preseason game.

Apparently they are holding a press conference at 4 so I would guess we would know more info soon.

Mike Zimmer says Bridgewater has significant knee injury, is at the hospital right now. According to the head coach it doesn't look good for the QB to play this season.

 

[bigbubbatd]

This is a pretty unique way of handling an injury. Canceling practice and then holding a press conference while you dont have a lot information. Not saying it is good or bad just dont remember seeing this before

 

[mongoosev]

they sedated teddy to do an MRI?

In another thread, I saw Captain mention that the Panthers, Cardinals, and Seahawks(?) were the teams to beat in the NFC. Not surprising as all were in the championship games last year. However, the NFL mixes it up and Cinderalla stories pop up every season. So specifically looking at the Packers schedule this season, which team do you expect to be much better than they were in 2015. For the moment, let's exclude the Cowboys for obvious reasons. Who's the sleeper opponent, the 2011 Chiefs...?

My personal choice is the Falcons. I like Dan Quinn at the helm, think that they did a good job in the draft with some decent offseason moves (especially at center), and think that Matt Ryan is about ready to really execute Shanahan's offense. They aren't necessarily a playoff team, but I think that they will give the Pack a hard time in Atlanta.

Saints,Falcons in playoffs, Vikings still get Wildcard.
Panthers are done. Jags get wildcard

The Jaguars getting a wild card berth in the NFC would be a huge surprise.

There's no way the Vikings make the playoffs with either Shaun Hill or Joel Stave starting at quarterback.

The Jaguars getting a wild card berth in the NFC would be a huge surprise.

Especially as a third team.

I obviously meant league wide.
the Vikings can go 5-2 with the current line up to start season.
If they end up getting Kaepernick,theyll run all over everyone

The much maligned by Badger fans, Joel Stave still getting gas.

I think it would also be a huge surprise for the Jags to get an AFC wild card. I think it's much more likely that they win their division than it is for them to get a wild card spot. I think that chance is well under 50% also. I'm not buying into all the Jax hype. They're alot like Buffalo imo.

To be honest, with Bridgewater out and the schedule the Vikes have, they might be lucky to go 2-5 to start the season.
