Official Vikings Week Discussion Thread

[pbmax]

Cobb gave no details of his injury to reporters yesterday. Would not discuss timetable or even confirm that his leg was broken.

I think Cobb might have played hockey previously.

Scariest Ice Hockey Injuries

Ohh what the heck...let's fly with a really tough sport. One where they use clubs, wear thick knives on their feet, put you to sleep really fast with crunching hits and punch the crap out of one another while the officials stand back and watch.

The TRUTH IS:

Actually you'll see serious injuries in many sports. How's this to feed your appetite. NO. 9 isn't pretty to watch nor is NO. 2 as their both brutal injuries. :

NO. 1 takes a QB's career on the field of play. He was an NFC Team QB who soon after turned to work in the football media. Can you guess who he was?

GOOD GRIEF!

Micah Hyde joins too large a segment of America today. He's not working out and wearing sweatpants.

[denverYooper]

Tramon, House, and Bush are your only healthy CBs.

Spoon:

Eight #Packers missed practice: Hyde, Nixon, Shields, Barclay, Perry, Jolly, Rodgers, Hayward

I bet he tried to put Jolly and Rodgers together.

[Guiness]

So an hour before last week's game he was supposed to go, and now 5 days later he's still not practicing? smh
When did Shields get hurt? At practice?

[Guiness]

Peterson says he's playing and that the Vikings have a chance at the playoffs (they're 2-8).

GB not the only team with kool-aid drinkers!

[Fritz]

Tramon, House, and Bush are your only healthy CBs.

I bet he tried to put Jolly and Rodgers together.

Somewhere else PB said he thought over the long haul the Packers suffer no more injuries than other teams.

Just for a point of comparision - a snapshot of a moment in time - and just because Thanksgiving's coming up, here's today's football headline in the Detroit News:

"Detroit Lions practice report: All participate except DE Israel Idonije"

Wow. Having that kind of injury report is like a sexual fantasy for a Packer fan.

Then you would have:

Oh come on we are like the old man that says, "In my day." Type comments. We love the adversity...we point to the great year we had the Super Bowl year even though people were hurt.

I agree. If the Packers can get Rodgers and some others back and go on a run at the end of the season, they could be the team that gets hot at the right time...

Minnesota Vikings: What You Need to Know Heading into Week 12

By: Tim Arcand ...Featured Columnist on November 18, 2013

There are people who feel that a Vikings win is a bad thing at this point in the season. Last week, Michael Rand of the Star Tribune broke down the NFL race to be the worst and thus secure the top pick in the draft.

The Worst Teams in the NFL

Team - Wins - Losses - Win % of Opp.

Jacksonville - 1 - 9 - 0.377

Houston - 2 - 8 - 0.491

Atlanta -2 - 8 - 0.533

Minnesota - 2 - 8 - 0.548

Tampa Bay - 2 - 8 - 0.600

Washington - 3 - 7 - 0.500

" Right now, Jacksonville has the inside track to secure the top pick with only one win. Working against the Jaguars, however, is that they face the easiest remaining schedule (0. 377) of any team in the running."


Minnesota Vikings Injury Report for 2013

Player Position Injury Status

Greg Childs WR knees PUP List missed the entire season
Harrison Smith S foot IR started five games
Desmond Bishop LB knee IR played in five games
Zach Line FB knee IR played three games
Kyle Rudolph TE foot out missed last two games
Matt Asiata RB shoulder out active for six games
Letroy Guion NT knee out missed last two games
Greg Jennings WR achilles out missed Seattle game
Josh Robinson CB sternum out injured in Seattle game
John Sullivan C concussion TBD injured in Seattle game


What Must Improve: Turnovers

" ... the Vikings defense has been directly responsible for half of the team's losses. In three of these games they have surrendered the winning points on their opponents' last drive of the game.

In the other losses, the offense turned over ball a total of 13 times—a deficit of minus-10. For the season, the Vikings are a minus-eight in turnovers, ranking them 28th in the NFL. "




GO PACK GO !

is cortisone a banned substance now

in years past if a guy had an owie, he would get an injection, get it wrapped up and go play

now you say you have a sore hammy and you get to sit out for half the season while still collecting paychecks for doing nothing at all

[Pugger]

Getting real worried about Hayward. No way the injury should linger this long.

Even if he does return, I can't see him being effective with the time he's missed. My guess is he's the next one to IR, especially since Tretter is making progress.

You're probably right, they'll put Hayward on IR and activate Tretter in 3 weeks.

When did Shields get hurt? At practice?

He got hurt last Thursday I think, sat out Fri/Sat and tested it pre-game and couldn't go.
