Bad scene. Bridgewater down in pocket grabbing left knee. Players freaked out, swearing and praying. Immobilized. Practice halted #Vikings
Damn, I thought Teddy was poised to have a decent year

An ambulance just pulled into Winter Park, where Teddy Bridgewater was hurt in a non-contact drill during practice. #Vikings
Always liked Teddy, and from the sounds of it, he was supposed to have a big year this year. Very unfortunate and wish him a speedy recovery, not matter what the injury.
with shittier luck than the Vikings. Luck, karma, whatever it may be....that fan base SUFFERS. Every decade has its own horrible, unique narrative of pain and misery.

Unlike the Browns they actually seem to be competent in team building. They've built hell of a defense the last few years and have had an offense set with AP in the backfield.
That sucks pretty bad. Thought Vikes were going to challenge Panthers

More than just an ambulance, picture showed paramedic from Hennepin County Medical Center which is trauma center.
I would be in the fetal position. This curbs your enthusiasm for the season. He was really coming on and you could see it in the preseason. Football is sometimes cruel

Browns too. Difference is the Vikings are good EVERY decade. I'd bet they are good 6 out of every 10 years. They are competitive more often than not. But they can never close and now this? I actually feel bad for the fan base.
Their best decade saw them lose 4 super bowls. It's been downhill ever since but still, they have fielded good to great teams littered with legendary talents...and heartbreaking moments abound.

I think the Jets and the Bengals could give them a run for their money.
Thing is, the Vikes need somebody who can run Norv Turner's offense. Not sure where that leads. (I don't think Philip Rivers is available.) Foles might be the best fit on the KC roster. Brian Hoyer had some success under Turner in Cleveland. He's in Chicago now, backing up Cutler and nursing sore ribs.

Neither of these teams have bad luck really they are just for the most part grossly mismanaged franchises.
The Vikings are fine in terms of overall franchise stability and respect.
The current trio of futility in the NFL is the Browns, the Lions, and the Jets. Every team in the NFL says "Hey man, at least we aren't the chargers, lions and jets"
they won a super bowl for one thing. That blows any of the 10 or so franchises that haven't won a title out of the water. Plus the Jets also field a pretty good team. They haven't been bad at all since 1997 --actually above average i'd bet--just no AFC title. That's still better than a lot of other teams.
If you want to go on the last 20 years or so the truly terrible team is the Browns. They haven't done a fucking thing and they also had their team ripped from the city only to win titles in Baltimore.
As far as good well run teams that can't close or catch a break I think the Vikings are one of a select few. I'd probably put the Chiefs in there too. But at least the Chiefs won a bowl way back when.
The Hail Mary loss to the Cowboys, Gary Andersen, Favre's interception, Darrin Nelson's 4th down drop late in the '87 NFC title game, Blair Walsh missing a chip shot.

The Vikings have been just good enough to not be good enough if that makes any sense. Their history over the last 40 years has played out that way with some heartbreaking losses mixed in.
Now, in terms of the Giants....if this injury is as serious as rumored, this suddenly puts that game in Week 4 in play as a W when you likely could've written the game off. There will be a dropoff from Bridgewater to Shaun Hill.
If it was a compound fracture are they going to put him in an MRI to check for a torn ACL? That MRI tweet seems like bullshit. Oh, your leg is hanging off? Lets make you stay in an MRI machine for at least 20 minutes. Hold still.

That was a fake twitter account. That dude has all kinds of racist shit on his feed. The real Ian Rapoport has like over a million followers. This weirdo has like 7k.
they don't bring out a trauma crew for a torn ligament
is sad. I've enjoyed watching him play since college, he quietly seemed to becoming a good NFL QB quicker than some other highly touted guys and the Vikings (not that I am cheering for them) seemed like a team headed in the right direction. Hopefully it's not some career altering injury.
An ACL injury is so non important compared to a compound fracture. You have to take care of that first. You would worry about the ACL after the compound fracture is taken care of. Also, players are most likely not going to freak out over and ACL injury. They will freak out if they see a fucking bone protruding from his skin. That has to be heartbreaking and deflating for Teddy and that team as a whole.
Has to hedge his bets here a bit because now the HAVE to make a move for a very qb to back up Hill. They don't want them to know how desperate they are at this point.
Zimmer knows it's really bad. You can tell in this presser.
Rappaport just said "team,ares were throwing up". I don't wanna sound insensitive but I'm interested in exactly what the hell happened...
You sure it was the real Ian Rapoport account? There's a fake one out there spewing all kinds of hateful shit.
That was from Rapoport himself on NFLN following Zimmers presser. Said people at the practice said it gruesome and that some teammates were throwing up.
Bridgewater is a rising star & the Vikings, who I've always harbored somewhat of a soft spot for, looked to be on the verge of challenging GB for divisional supremacy.
The injury shook everyone up to the point that the Vikings ended practice after 25 minutes.
Suddenly Mark Sanchez is a hot commodity

Yep
I actually like Glennon
Maybe. Their defense is a bear.

More than just an ambulance, picture showed paramedic from Hennepin County Medical Center which is trauma center.
Hope he heals quickly.
Colin Kaepernick may have a new home - Dallas or Minnesota...

Yes, Dallas, after being voted down on putting decals for the police victims, will be front runners for Kaepernick's services.

That's what I'm thinking. Awful. Prayers for you Teddy.
Dislocated knee, maybe - I doubt meniscus would cause that kind of drama.
Had to be more than an ACL to call an ambulance and dismiss the team...
I just wonder if there was more to it than an ACL.
I think that's a fake twitter account.
Don't forget 41-0.

Don't start scheduling wins. That Vikings defense has given Eli fits.
Did you just become a fan last year? Do you not know the long and sordid history of random backups beating the Giants??
Mike Zimmer says Teddy knee injury is significant but doesn't not full details

Not Twitter, on NFLN. My bad, should've specified.
I would if I had to wear that much purple. Not everyone is Prince.
Why would you want to watch players throwing up?

That SB with Philly vs. NE must have been one of his favorites.
It was "winnable" in the sense that Minnesota was favored despite the game being at the Meadowlands.
That's a jackass move...

If you've ever seen what that injury looks like, it's pretty likely they absolutely were "noticeably affected".

Rapoport now saying that he said it but "didn't mean it literally". "What I meant was they were noticeably affected".

Of course they were affected. But all Rapoport did was embellish and state something that was just false.

Good call.
Wonder if the meniscus was damaged too. The Vikings say it's a torn acl, dislocated kneecap, and other structural damage.

Hope not it's not damaged. The others will heal. Cartilage doesn't do so well.
