Bridgewater suffers potentially serious knee injury (2 Viewers)

[Andy Dufresne]

Yep. This is how I feel. All 11+ minutes of it.

 

[RenegadeGM]

Pretty much guaranteed Shaun will start week one if Teddy is out... then again, this offense relies heavily on the running game so if they pickup a veteran he could learn as they go. But Hill is not the "season" answer.. If Teddy is out they need to bring in someone that could start say week 5, they have a bye on week 4.

I think you're definitely right on that - whoever they bring in could definitely be ready to start after the bye.  And if Hill is managing the games well enough, he could stay in a starting role, and if he's not impressing, a change is made.

Opening up their brand new stat of the art stadium - with no QB!

GO PACK GO!!!

another classy packer fan I see :X

 

[mikmak8902]

 Yes. I'm in a two quarterback dynasty league and he was a very important piece to that team.   I'm also a huge Vikings fan and today sucks. 

Sorry man.   This absolutely blows.  I really liked the kid.  Forget fantasy ... I just enjoyed watching him develop and thought he was going to turn into a very good NFL QB.  

 

[snogger]

Come on, dude.

yea, don't even bother.. There is always one in the group that seems to take pleasure in injuries to other teams.

Trade for Aaron Rodgers so he has a chance to win the division. ES&D CheeseCurds

 

[need2know]

Hurts their whole team.  Thinking about dropping their defense

 

[lod001]

Problem with anyone they would bring in is they would have to learn a new system on the fly with the season days away.

As unexciting as he is, Shaun Hill is probably the best option in the short term.  He knows the system and personnel and is familiar with his teammates.  As long as he can hand the ball off the ADP and McKinnon, complete some short, safe passes and avoid turning the ball over, he might just be OK.

They will roll with Shaun Hill. When Hill was in there, in Detroit, Calvin Johnson never missed a beat and as a matter of fact, his numbers went up.

 

[VikingFrog]

Trade Seattle for Boykin.

 

[flapgreen]

Damn

 

[skol asylum]

McNabb is one of my kid's softball coaches. I'll see him tonight and suggest he give Zimmer a call.

 

[Billy Bats]

I doubt that.

You shouldn't. Wentz is hurt and hasn't played isn't close to ready, Eagles other option is Chase Daniel who has looked like Chase Daniel. If it was week 4 and they were 0-4 then sure, but right now he's unavailable. 

 

[CheeseCurds]

Can you get out on Huber to coach softball?

Tasteless.

News conference scheduled for 4pm Central time..

 

[renesauz]

How long is Heinecke out?  Stave?

Heinecke was my first thought as well...but FBG doesn't even have him on the depth chart anymore?

 

[superbigpimping420]

It will be Hill for the short term.  Wouldn't be surprised if they traded for Matt Cassel, he is still on TEN.  Knows Zimmer's system, and most of the team mates. 

This is really bad, its all over the radio here. They are saying worse than an ACL tear. Yeah official news conference at 4 PM Central.

 

[lod001]

Geno Smith....

 

[CheeseCurds]

This is really bad

FOR THE VIKINGS - YES, IT IS REALLY BAD...

 

[KellysHeroes]

Geno Smith....

wow, that would be interesting

 

[packer_junkie]

Im assuming Kevin Ware type of injury unfortunately. 

 

[Penguin]

Such a shame, he and the Vikings offense were progressively getting better. Here's hoping there's no arterial or nerve damage.

 

[lod001]

wow, that would be interesting

They need to dump him or Petty and Petty is worth nothing so they may be able to get something from the Vikings for him.

 

[Jobber]

How is this cheese curds cunny still allowed to #### post around here?

 

[snogger]

for those wondering about Heinicke

Vikings backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke will be sidelined for three months after severing a tendon in his foot while attempting to kick in a window to get himself and his friend back into the friend's locked apartment.

 

[superbigpimping420]

Wasn't Jerrick McKinnon a QB in college?  Go Wildcat with McKinnon.

 

[lod001]

Geno to the Vikings twitter

 

[CheeseCurds]

Wasn't Jerrick McKinnon a QB in college?  Go Wildcat with McKinnon.

This might make the most sense...

 

[Dope]

Thought Geno and Sanchez immediately...

 

[Jobber]

for those wondering about Heinicke

You have GOT to be kidding me.

 

[lod001]

My guess is that whoever they use at QB, they are going to do some serious clock eating when they have the ball. Some boring ### games for sure.

 

[snogger]

for those wondering about Heinicke

You have GOT to be kidding me.

Pretty sure right now he looks like this guy

 

[Cjw_55106]

You have GOT to be kidding me.

This happened quite a while ago. 

 

[WampusCat43]

Wonder if Zim will make a call to Marvin about McCarron...

 

[snogger]

You have GOT to be kidding me.

This happened quite a while ago. 

just a month ago, and it wasn't really covered much back then due to him being a 3rd string QB and not in the plans.. Well until now

 

[jabarony]

They should get Joe Webb back.

I'm sure he could match Teddy's 14 TDs.

It's now official, an MRI has confirmed that #Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater has a torn ACL and will miss the entire 2016 season.

:(

 

[CheeseCurds]

Vikings fan reaction

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I wish him a speedy and full recovery.

 

[NJ]

That's not his official Twitter

You really think that's his twitter?  

 

[renesauz]

for those wondering about Heinicke

OOOOFFFF. He's a seriously smart kid too to have done something so dumb (perfect GPA with an Engineering degree). This could have been his chance.

(For those who don't know, Heinecke won the Walter Payton award as a sophomore at ODU, and broke all kinds of passing records, but was largely unknown coming from ODU, an FCS school that transitioned to FBS during his Junior and Senior years)

 

[RaiderBones]

Tim Tebow to the rescue!!!

GO PACK GO!!!

As a Packer fan please go away. What a dooshy thing to say.

 

[Penguin]

:(

Fake account

 

[Penguin]

That would have been too soon to get MRI results and wouldn't explain the rush to the trauma center

 

[lod001]

Tim Tebow to the rescue!!!

That would make them watchable and we could fire up the Tebow thread. Maybe coax shnikies out to talk about his greatness.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Wonder if Zim will make a call to Marvin about McCarron...

This actually makes sense

 

[mcintyre1]

Mettenberger? Just waived by Chargers 

 

[mikmak8902]

Maybe I'm wrong in this but from what I remember reading in other cases, we may be rooting for a break as apposed to a tear, correct?  Isn't it better to break a bone than to tear a ligament?
