Mayfield getting disguised and joining the fan stadium tour was an awesome bit.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Finally, white folks doing the lame “SKOL” chant, and it ain’t cultural appropriation. There are Vikings in the UK, right?

Anyways, fuck the Queens!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Butte throws pick-6 to Vanilla Ice.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

2nd pick, Butte.

Aaron Rodgers is no longer an impact QB. The Packers, while it took awhile, eventually made the absolute correct decision.

If the Jets QB doesn't pick it up the vikings will be 5-0 and we'll never fleece the jets 12 years from now....and TD as I type.

Aaron Jones hurt and out of game. No surprise there.

Annnndd....I rest my case. I shouldn't be too cocky or jacobs will get hurt.

Not a stellar first half for the Jets QB; 10/20/95/1/2.

[bobblehead]

Braelon Allen is so smooth. He woulda looked better in green and gold than Lloyd did for like 4 snaps.

Of course it isn’t. Those who lament that Jacobs isn’t as good as Jones are right in a simple comparison of both players when healthy.

Nevertheless, in the NFL, availability is the best ability. Jones never was any good at staying healthy due to being undersized, and it will only get worse as he pushes to the other side of 30. We saw first hand last year what happened when he was out for an extended period and our offense struggled to gain traction. It was the right move to go toward someone with a larger frame who is more dependable from an injury standpoint.
