Good point. I would however make the same point with game winning drives.

People should post about the Vikings as they wish, as long as they stay within board rules. I'm not judging anyone, I was just frustrated in the moment...
My apologies then Jim. I have just recently been frustrated with people selling Teddy short and threw that out there as Pepp has been one that has been compared favorably to Teddy. I was really exited also. I changed locations and later barstools in an attempt to help the team turn things around in the game.

FWIW, Pep had 11 come from behind wins and 17 game winning drives.

It would be great if Teddy tops that!
You are right about it not belonging in this thread. I will debate those fabricated stats however with you in another thread on another day. I was around during his career.

I very much agree.

The Vikings have some burners out there at WR, what with Johnson, Wright, and Patterson (when healthy). No reason not to hit them quick and short, and let them run.

When is the last time we had two WRs with over 100 yards in the same game?

I believe I saw on Twitter that it was in 2004, Burleson and Moss.

Gotta love Zimmer. He didn't sound like he was especially happy about winning the way we did.

Listening to Zimmers post game, he says the play to Jarious was built into the call.

Even though Jennings is being paid too much, you must admit, he is a pretty reliable WR for Teddy. He's our best route runner and catches everything thrown his way. I would like to keep him for at least 1 more year.
His reliability and also his veteran presence (with the desire to mentor) should keep him around. As long as he holds up physically over the next 3 games and offseason.

I agree... Teddy need someone like Jennings around. He is also good at downfield blocking.

Usually they have a play called and also a quick backup play (kill audible). Bridgewater killed whatever was called and went with the backup WR screen.

Let's not forget. Teddy got the ball with 16 secs left in the game and got us in position to win with a long FG.
