This is a good test now because I was wondering how we would respond if the run wasn’t as effective.

He’s gotta get it out quicker. His average time holding the ball last season was above 2.6, and that is the threshold.

They know we are running. Where is that play action?

Another 37 halves of football like that and we can all #hoist and #moist
Lots of moist sex in Minnesota if that happens
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

Someone thought because he sucked at center he would make a good guard.

As Thielen continues to get more of the attention from the media/fans, I sometimes start to wonder if Diggs ill ever start to act up. He seems like a great teammate but he does have some diva tendencies.

Since he was better at Guard in college most thought he had a shot at being better there too.

And you can't really judge his performance last year with the injuries he had.

And lets wait more than 1 game before freaking out about him.

Okay Spielman, we get it, it's EX-avior, not 'Z'-avior.
I apologize in advance if what I just said offended or upset you.

This is a running team now and I wouldn’t think we would have anywhere near the passing yards of the last two years. Last season we were way too pass happy and so those guys had a ton of yards.
