Week 14 - Vikes @ Raiders Support Group

Slide down to unlikely odds to make the playoffs with 4 games left? Come on, that's not the Vikings way. That would actually give this team a reason to consider whether to do some experimentation (not tanking) with several games remaining and maybe end up with only 6 or 7 wins and draft near the top 10. Much more likely is a win, boosting them to an awesome 7-6 record and prognostication of an exciting 6th or 7th playoff seed, then slip back to 7-7 after getting beat by Jake Browning, keep hope alive with a surprise Detroit victory, only to have the Packers and Love blow them out, and their final game will probably be meaningless for both us and the Lions, but Vikings will play their starters and win a moral victory to get a 9-8 record and pick about 18th.

Exactly. Kevin has very limited choices here.

Also, I haven't heard much discussion about whether benching Dobbs and going into a possible QB carousel is good for team morale. TBH O'Connell has been very reluctant to bench any uninjured starter. Ingram struggled for a season and a half. Mattison deserved the bench. I believe Osborn is listed as a starter despite the emergence of Addison. You could say they benched Asamoah for Pace but I think Asamoah was just expected to start, never actually established. Benching players is not a tool that KOC seems to want to use, and maybe he's afraid of losing his nice guy image.


Hmmm I don't understand what you mean here.

If you end up doing a replacement, don't skip the PT... Just an FYI.. Also, you'll need one every 10 years so...

Something you might want to look into:   biopolyortho.com/

I happen to know the owners... or did when I lived in another state. Anyways, it's a liquid cartilage replacement injection that can be done if your knee isn't necessarily ready for replacement (once it's too late, this won't help as I understand it). It's also a much faster recovery time. Last I spoke to them, they were getting approval in Europe (which was about 10 years ago), so this may be available in the US now... It might be an option and covered by insurance by now. Worth a look since it's much less invasive if by chance you're a candidate.  

Right now I’m the slowest person in here. I could be facing a wolf right now I can’t begin to run. Walking is hard so I would have to fight that wolf lol. I am going to try to avoid surgery if all possible but I am concerned. Since June i been hurting some days worse than others and I trust nobody.

Because I work my behind off now my work acting weird. So I do all this work and now the crapping on me. Cutthroat tricks I finna go off on my boss. If I do though it only makes things worse so gotta hold my head. As soon as one good thing happens a bad thing follows. I can’t afford a injury like this right now when life was going so well. Nobody trying to have a knee surgery dang it.

He obviously didn’t read my post. I got injured working out.

We could start a football league on as soon as I’m healthy lol. I guarantee if everyone on this forum came together to pick I would be amongst the first picked. I’m a has been as far as past my prime. But a never was can still get it believe that. I lost speed but I not that old yet I still possess my strength. Speed goes first but in a phone booth I can still pop someone if healthy. Consider me like a bear I not finna run super far but in close quarters Drank will still snatch up the average Joe especially in the 35 to like 43 age range I’m in the elite percentage of that age range. There’s pictures of me on here I’m early 40 but you would not think I’m passed my 30s I been seen on here by some before. I am who I say I am. I don’t have no reason to cap and lie. 6-2 240 solid. And I want the 6-6 guys this not basketball I will chop a tall guy down. When I take out the legs the head go down with it.

I would watch that
