WEEK ONE----DO WE WIN OR LOSE ??

[smuggler]

The classic Tex move when Patlerized: "Well, I didn't mean it like that. I meant it like this, so I was still right."

Say what you mean the first time, Tex.

Fields reminds me of the first few seasons of the Vikings - they had Tarkenton and virtually nothing else. It still was frustrating at times, though, to see the guy run all over hell and occasionally pull a TD pass out of his ass.

Back in the day, we beat Tarkenton the great majority of the time - because like the Bears now, the rest of his team was so bad, not to mention, Lombardi's Packers were so good, kinda like today's Packers too.

Tarkenton was 2-10 as a starter against the Packers from his rookie year in 1961 to Lombardi's last season as Packers coach in 1967.

After further review, tex was right. Fritz is charged with a timeout and has one challenge remaining.

Tarkenton ran for only one rushing TD in that time, his rookie season. He threw 12 TD passes and 21 INTs in that span.
