Bye week game day thread

The Vikings were 100% right to dump Bridgewater for Cousins. He has a 17-0 TD to INT ratio in the red zone. He can actually hit receivers in the end zone. 

[LinvilleGorge]

The Titans are even worse defensively on third down than we are. No, seriously. They are.

They were, but not for that contract. Cousins is a good QB but he's not elite. You can't have that type of cap slaughtering contract on anyone not elite. They're going to struggle to put a team around Cousins that will allow them to make a run.

Mayfield looks great today.

Just as I typed that, he drops a dime for TD #4 of the half. It should be 5 since he had a TD catch dropped on the first drive. He's playing the best game of his life.

Mayfield is LIGHTING the Titans up.

I need Nick Chubb fantasy points. Stop this madness Baker...

Yea that is true but the alternative was playing roulette with a rookie QB

Play roulette then. You can't settle for nearly guaranteed mediocrity. Gamble to be great.

It's why we should've never considered giving Teddy $20M+.

I'm all for gambling, but I'd much rather have a better card shark running the game if we do.

I mean the Vikings didn't replace Bridgewater with Cousins per say. He didn't play for two years - they thought he was done.

[LinvilleGorge]

Mayfield has produced 28% of Teddy's passing TDs for the season in one half of football today. It would be 36% if Peoples-Jones hadn't dropped that first one.
