The Good: My fantasy football season started off with a win, 48-25. Adrian Peterson didn't come close to helping out my opponent as much as I had feared. I tied for third most points for the week, so it was a solid, but not great performance. My backs did not produce much while facing tough opponents. I'm still concerned about that part of my team.
The Ugly: No need to bother with "Bad" when it comes to the performance of the Vikings last night, just go straight to ugly. A blocked field goal after they let the 49ers push them down the field was pretty much the only bright spot. They looked unprepared and they were outcoached and outplayed. Bridgewater looked awful. Norv Turner's playcalls were baffling in their failure to use Adrian Peterson(He has come to Minnesota to kill me). It also appears that they will miss Jerome Felton much more than they thought.
In other news, the StarTribune reports that a man in a Vikings jersey was beaten by 49ers fans after the game. I was all ready to get my outrage on when I got to this near the bottom of the story:
“The Viking fan in the video and a 49er fan NOT in the video were talking smack to each other … The Viking fan shoved his wife into a barrier to try to get to the 49er fan, then at that point the 49er fan walked away from the situation. … The Viking fan turned around and addressed everyone behind him (mostly 49er fans). He said ‘what’s up, any of you — — ers want some?!’ At that point everyone went silent for 2 seconds then as the Viking fan was turning around to walk away, the 49er fan in the black (at the beginning of the video who threw the first punch) tackled him to the ground. That’s where the video starts.”
Dumbass. Not only did he deserve to get his ass kicked, he's lucky it wasn't worse.
And what would another NFL season be without more players get away with ugly behavior. The dirtiest piece of shit in the NFL, Ndamukong Suh, kicked the helmet off running back Alfred Morris after a play on Sunday. Anybody else might deserve the benefit of the doubt, but not Suh given his history. He should have been thrown out of the game and suspended for at least one or two games. The same goes for Pacman Jones and his despicable removal of Amari Cooper's helmet while he was flat on his back. Video of both incidents here.
There are no excuses for either incident and there is no excuse for the NFL to not harshly punish both.
