Does Baker even make sense for SF? The entire Shannahan idea is that the QB does exactly what Shanny wants when he wants it. That doesn’t sound like Baker…

 

The Rams would probably be a better fit, though it won't matter there anyway given half the roster is on IR.

I am only surprised because there may be playoff implications:

Just in case anyone is wondering about how much anyone is buying the Vikings, the Lions are favored against them next week.  I will be the least shocked person in the world if Detroit blows them out.

I don't care what their record is, Detroit is a good team. Campbell has them on the right track. I too would not be surprised if they beat the Vikes, Minnesota has been lucky all year long in my estimation. Don't get me wrong, they are a decent team, just not 10-2 decent.

The Vikings certainly beat up on their opponents so far. I especially appreciate the way they quickly sold their collective souls in order to pull off the miracle happenings at the end of their game against the Bills. That bad beat was on par with them winning a 6 game parlay in the World Cup. Their overall 10-2 record includes being taken to school by the Eagles and humiliated by the dreaded Cowboys. Their point differential for the season is +10. It would give me great pleasure to have a rematch with them come February.

The Vikings remind me of the season that Dick Jauron had in one year way back when he coached the Bears.

Oh thank god. I was worried that after Indianapolis’ third straight primetime game this coming weekend, we wouldn’t get to see them in isolated games any more. Bullet dodged. Thanks NFL!!

[whatdrought]

NFL flexed a game that literally just tied into SNF…. Between leaving the game last night there and doing that, whoever’s in charge of that needs to be fired.
