2020 Vikings football pool smackdown thread

boycotting or not watching football is kinda like me refusing to shop at wallyworld..........not gonna hurt them but makes me feel good!!!!!!!!!! so ya gotta do what ya gotta do!!!!!!

The lack of fans has also taking my interest out of it. It just doesn't seem right. I was out in the woods any yesterday and I will just get more time in the woods this fall.

I wonder how the owners will divvy up gate receipts - when fans are eventually let back into the stands.

Certainly the states will have something to say about crowd gatherings (and we can only guess how National Guard Commander-in-Chief Walz will feel about this) but I expect part way through the season there will be several teams with 1/4, 1/3, or even 1/2 capacity fans in the stands.

So how will it work if Team A has most of their home games with the lock-out still in effect and then has to play their road games in opposition stadiums with live fans.  I get it that you have to play the schedule that is made, but some owners will be making revenue from fans and others not.

On KFAN they said Harrison Smith said the whole team wasn't into it.  He said with hardly any noise it seemed like they were losing from the start.  AND they kind of did...

[Jerkbiat]

My supervisor said he tried watching it, but just couldn't get into it with no fans. He quit watching and tried listening to it on the radio while driving around.

  Only watched the first half. Not impressed with Cousins. I think his quarterback rating for the first half was about the same as the IQ of a freshwater shrimp. He must have did a little better in second half anyhow.

[LPS]

I agree Markn.  Brings no fire to the game.  Just blah and does what the play is and no more.  Can't adlib anything neither.  The other team knows what he is going to do most of the time it seems.

Yeah, but we never threatened to take the lead.  So in that sense, all of the points, yards, statistics seem to be "garbage time" for the whole second half.

I defended you? Really? That Grain Belt I extorted from you must have been packing a punch that day. Geez, hope I wasn't drinking and driving that day also.   

Cousins is what Cousins is.....a game manager. He implements what the coaching staff sends his way with the personnel Spielman gives him. If he called his own plays then you could blame him but for some reason the NFL feels Kubiak & Zimmer have a better feel for the game then their quarterback.

[glenn57]

  well dutchy, with all the abuse i get here, i considered what you said a compliment!!!!!!!!

[dutchboy]

I will admit, the guys here do seem to have your number.
