    Without Taylor the Colts are a 3-14 team while the Packers are probably a 10-7 team without Rodgers mostly due to the horrible NFC North. Couldn't disagree more with this statement, primarily because with all the injuries there is zero chance this year's Packers are a postseason threat without Rodgers (maybe they back into a playoff spot because the rest of the division stinks, but I'd doubt it with the schedule they played), and with him they're the best team in the conference. And Henry is the best RB in the league, with Taylor being a distant 2nd. Don't get me wrong, he's had a great season and is largely responsible for the Colts being a potential playoff team. However, for a RB to be in contention for MVP in this day and age, he needs to be having a historic season statistically. Taylor's production through 16 games ranks 29th in terms of single season rushing totals, and is tied for 20th in terms of total TDs with 9 other players. Taylor's 2021 season is 50th all time in terms of all purpose yards from scrimmage. A really great season, but not historic to surplant any of the top quarterbacks for league MVP in this day and age. Of the skill position players, Kupp should probably rank higher in the MVP race than Taylor, actually.

    I think you'd have to put Tampa at the top of the list just because they did it last year - however I think they may have their hands full in the 1st round if seeding stays consistent and they play the 49ers, and they aren't peaking headed into the postseason. San Francisco could win a cold weather game, especially if conditions neutralize GB's passing game advantage. Dallas would be a tough game with their defense, too. Honestly, this year's playoffs are a total crapshoot and it's tough to predict how matchups play out, because any of the teams seeded #2-7 in the NFC can win their 1st round games. Having the bye is so huge to get as healthy as possible but also to avoid having to win 3 games just to reach the Super Bowl.

    Again, they are $40+M over the cap almost entirely because their star quarterback was in the midst of having some sort of principle spat with the front office headed into this season and now has a theoretical cap hit of almost $50M dollars for 2022 because of his current contract - which both parties know isn't a contract he will be playing under in 2022 either in Green Bay or at whatever team trades for him should things go that way. If Rodgers stays in Green Bay, his new deal probably finds a way to shave off $30M in 2022 cap savings and then Gute goes back to the restructuring well another time along with making a few necessary cuts before dealing with the Adams situation - if that all happens and Adams is insistent on being paid close to $30M a season in a deal that the Packers can't sign, then they tag him and send him to a team that does have that kind of cap space like Miami or San Diego. To me, it's either both Rodgers and Adams are in Green Bay longterm in 2022, or both are gone. Of course there comes a time when can-kicking can't happen any longer, and some players will be cut or traded to make it work. But their cap situation isn't impossible, and I'm not sure why people are overly concerned about what posturing from Adams' camp or the Packer front office means for things longterm at this point the morning after they locked up the top seed in the NFC playoffs for the 2021 season.

    I think it's ironic that MSG is also the one venue that the team who plays there is probably towards the bottom of its perceived iconic status. I will say that "the Garden" has actually been several different venues at difference locations across New York - the current location has been around since the mid 1960s....so many of the boxing matches and other events that helped make this venue famous actually occurred at a different building and address than the current venue.

    All of these moves still put you about $20 million short, FWIW. And if the first move, trading Rodgers, happens - it doesn't even matter because that also probably means both Smiths are cut, Amos is cut, and eventually Adams is franchised and traded. That then opens up plenty of room to extend Alexander and turns 2022 entirely into a retooling season. Restructuring Rodgers' contract if he sticks around would be job #1 to get the cap into a tenable place to try and resign Adams. There will be tough personnel decisions made to get Green Bay in a friendlier cap spot no matter what, but it all hinges on what happens with Rodgers. There is zero chance he stays in Green Bay for 2022 and plays under a $46M cap hit, which is currently on their hypothetical 2022 books. As we saw what happened last offseason across the NFL when basically 2/3 of the league found ways to get their rosters under the cap without having to release tons of quality players, there's always a way to make it work.

    The Bakhtiari contract is even worse moving forward because it had already been restructured to limit his cap hit for 2021 - he's a $22M cap hit for 2022 but is structured as a dead cap hit of ~$40M, which means he's not a candidate for an obvious restructure anymore. If he's healthy and on the field performing at an elite level, ok - otherwise it's a disaster. If Rodgers wants to force his way out after this year, even without any restructuring on the front end GB saves $20M in cap space by trading him away, then cutting his buddy Cobb trims about $7M and even just picking one of the Smiths to cut shaves off another ~$12M - that brings their cap situation into a much more tenable spot around $195M to franchise Adams....but that may be an initial strategy to warrant ultimately working out a trade for him, too if they can't work out an extension. The other more preferable option at this point would be for Rodgers to stick around with the intent of retiring a Packer, and signing a contract extension that takes his 2022 cap hit from $46M down to something much more manageable and resolves nearly all their cap issues with just that move.

    This is just too perfect... Vikings leading rusher - QB Mannion Vikings longest reception of the game went to their center SKOL....lol

    If he is the MVP he would be the least deserving of it in a long time. His stats this year are not MVP level for a QB. The TD's are not there and the passing yards are not either. If Herbet threw 5 less INT's he would be walking away with the MVP award. JT should be the MVP without a doubt. There really isn't a QB this year who is putting up MVP numbers. Like it or not, Rodgers is the best player on the best team in the NFL, and that team has also been riddled with injuries at key positions ( including his own toe) - making it all the more impressive what he's done. I agree with you on Herbert - he should finish in the top 4 IMO. Taylor would be a candidate for offensive POY, but he's not MVP of the league.

    Tonyan is a big loss in the passing game, too....I think much of the focus on the other guys out is there's a chance they get some of them back for the playoffs. But yeah, it could be argued Jenkins is their best o-lineman even with a healthy Bahktiari.

    I wonder if he'll get that surgery done stat since he won't play for another three weeks. I think you stick with what's got you through this season and don't risk any weird complications/setbacks...if it still needs surgery it can happen in mid-late february.

    I don't think they have much choice with the guy behind center - he would make any gameplan look like "roll over and die" Possibly true… But their effort thus far displays all the creativity of a wet stick. Living in MN, I've seen too much of the Vikings to basically expect as much on offense - and that actually goes up to Zimmer...I think Cousins is actually quite underrated in how much he improves their offense. He's not great, but he is really good.
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    They can't get a 1st down so they can't feed him constantly - he's getting like 2 yards a carry. Cook also has a bum shoulder and is coming off a week he was out due to COVID. So the game plan should be rollover and die, with your playoff life on the line? I guess the Vikings’ staff agrees…. I don't think they have much choice with the guy behind center - he would make any gameplan look like "roll over and die"

    Adams' footwork in tight spaces makes him HOF-caliber
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    I think Cousins being out at the end of the week and having next to no practice time really is most of this...its obvious their QB has no idea where guys outside his 1st read are. Then why aren’t they just plugging their all-pro RB? Cook has 7 carries. They can't get a 1st down so they can't feed him constantly - he's getting like 2 yards a carry. Cook also has a bum shoulder and is coming off a week he was out due to COVID.

    I need to listen to Paul Allen the 2nd half....just to make this even sweeter

    Honest question - is Mond really not that ready that he isn't the Vikings starter tonight? He was a third round pick last year...

    Nice play by Lazard on a total jump ball toss

    I think there's also something to Dalvin Cook not being a great cold weather, on grass field back. Some of his worst games have come at Chicago. Cook was great in Lambeau last season, but that was in October, not january.

    Its also obvious their QB wants nothing to do with throwing downfield if it means reading coverages. GB defense is stacking against the run, too. At some point they just need to call a couple play action go routes - hoping packers can get comfortably ahead to prevent one big play completely turning the tables tonight.
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    Kenny Clark is destroying the Vikings center tonight
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    Does this offense have running back option routes in it? Seems like that would work really well on the 3rd and shorts against the way zimmer likes stacking all his backers inside the tackle box.
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    He is certainly the weakest link in the OLine by s mile. If not for injuries he would've been a backup all season...instead he's the only opening day starter still starting
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Newman left blocking air on that play... This game is ugly thus far
