The Minnesota Vikings: Starting Over (Madden 21)

[Hidden Blaze]

Damn, that sucks. cause I love watching stuff like that, it's always fun just to see how people play, and the plays, and stuff they use, and the way they attack the ball.

 

[Doom]

Great stuff Grim!

Trading Cook, Elflein and a third round pick to the Steelers for a first, third round picks and Hilton were brilliant moves. The signing of Devonta Freeman has put opposing rush defenses on notice.

It was a shame that the Seahawks gave the Vikings their first loss. On the bright side, the Vikings are 5-1 and that offense is playing hard-nosed football. The defense on the other hand, they have managed to barely squeak out a couple of victories, but they have allowed tons of points in 4 of the last 6 games and it's a cause for concern down the road.

Overall, the Vikings is one of the best teams in the NFC. As long as the offense puts the points on the board and the defense has enough fuel at the end to have Dan Bailey squeak in three more points, they can still manage to pull off the wins.

63 points on the Packers, incredible.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Funnily enough, nobody in the media said anything about Kirk Cousins throwing seven touchdowns, an NFL record. Kinda like real life.

Great stuff as usual Grim.

That last game against the Panthers, it's a bummer that they figured Kirk Cousins out in his worst game of the season. I'm sure that he'll easily snap back at it in their next game.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Oh yeah, another note...

Colin Kaepernick signed with the Jaguars. He's their starting QB. He's also having an MVP-type season. Huh.
