NFL GDT: Week 16

[GKJ]

Learned earlier today that I will be attending the Eagles/Raiders game on Christmas night, which crosses off a bucket list item of mine. Getting a home game on Christmas in Philadelphia, decent chance it could never happen again in my life. At least that's what I sold my family on. Although, it was supposed to happen in 2006 - which was the last time Christmas was on a Monday - but I believe the city told the NFL they didn't want to dedicate the resources on Christmas night, so the Eagles ended up with their three division road games in consecutive weeks (and won all 3 games with Jeff Garcia at QB). Now they get it this time.

Diggs and Thielen elevate Keenum so much.

Just went to break with the best Christmas song to have been made

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Uhm...so 10-0 Vikings.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

No idea why NBC is talking about Bradford coming back as if it matters.

Vikes tack on 3 more after failing in RZ.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Maybe I didn't see it clearly, but it sorta looked like Clark pulled his arms back before the ball got to him. Weird.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Vikings on the verge of first shutout since 1993.

 

[Troy McClure]

I feel bad for Hundley. Dude is trying hard, but he’s just not any good.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Smith gets a Hundleyception to seal it.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I feel bad for Hundley. Dude is trying hard, but he’s just not any good.

Its been 3 years and hes essentially still the same QB he was at UCLA. He flashes a nice arm here and there and nice mobility but struggles identifying match ups pre-snap and lacks a feel in the pocket.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

If there was any doubt that Aaron Rodgers is the only person that makes Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson look not horrible, this season is it.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I just hope Garoppolo isn't killed tomorrow. The 49ers interior O-line struggles against interior pass rushers. Zane Beadles is bad and going against #91. Going to be a long day.

 

[Avs_19]

Well, that was easy enough. A first round bye is within reach for the Vikings and home field throughout could be too if the Eagles stumble.

Harrison Smith is ridiculous. Best safety in the league and should probably be in the DPOY conversation.

Keenum leaving a ton of points on the field didn't matter tonight but could be a concern going forward. The other negative coming out of this game is losing Nick Easton for the season. Vikings had their starting OL together for the first time since early October and it didn't even last for a quarter.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

The threat of Keenum coming back down to earth is real.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

The threat of Keenum coming back down to earth is real.

Minnesotas d is getting better and better. So it doesn’t really matter. I don’t expect Minnesota to win or have a chance unless the D is #1 at the end of the season

I never thought McCarthy was anything special.

 

[Troy McClure]

The threat of Keenum coming back down to earth is real.

He looked completely miserable in the cold. It was affecting his throws quite a bit.

 

[justafan22]

Vikings offence looked bad last night in the cold. Though they might only have to play outdoors in Philly come in a few weeks.

1st round bye within reach?

Vikes have clinched a 1st round bye at 13-3

No way in hell your team loses to Bears in wk 17

It does matter if they want to win the NFC.

Perfect weather today in Chicago
