Sam Bradford Misses Week 2
Oh Vikings. Sam Bradford has the game of his life against the Saints defense (as a QB does) and then missed the second week thrashing by the Steelers for a mysterious knee problem that is now apparently been revealed as a bone bruise. The Vikings mistake? trusting Sam Bradford. Never trust that man. He looks at injured reserve like a dog looks at a hungry steak.
The Vikings looked great against the Saints but week 1 should always be taken with salt, and teams like to look good against the Saints. The Saints are bad and I think Sean Payton is a good candidate for a mid-season fire if Brees can’t drag them to a few wins soon.
The Vikings were never going to win against the Steelers with Case Keenum but I kind of expected a better fight from the defense at least. The Vikings are one of those teams I think is fighting for pure mediocrity, that comfy spot where they never really compete for the playoffs, but aren’t really bad so everyone just kind of forgets about them. They go 7-9, 8-8, or 9-7. Then they draft a lineman on defense or offense at pick #14 in the draft and nobody cares.
I would pick the Vikings, Saints, Eagles, Skins, Ravens, Cardinals, Giants, Panthers, and Chargers as this year’s big contenders for “ultimately a dull mediocre season that fans will have trouble remembering”. For the Chargers people wont remember it because no one cares about the LA Chargers. Everyone else will either be pretty good, pretty bad, or at the very least, interesting.
Also, I know Mike Zimmer doesn’t need the eye-patch anymore but I never got to draw him with it so deal with it.
If the Steelers, an average defense did that to us imagine how truly bad the Saints defense is.
It’s the only thing that this season has been worth and it will probably remain that way. Can’t wait to fuck up on both of our starting caliber QB’s with knee injuries, all aboard the Sloterhouse!
Rest In Peace us- fellow worried Vikings fan
The Clippers are going to go 3-13/4-12/5-11, but lose like 8 games by less than a TD so everyone else views them as a trendy ‘dark horse playoff team’ the next off-season before they do it all over again while Bingless Bolo fucks off to have a million kids.
The day Sean Payton gets fired is the day the Batcow movie sweeps all the shows (oscars, golden globes, academy awards, etc.)
So did Bradford explode, hence the blood everywhere? (Like when RG3 had boneitis and exploded in front of Kirk cousins)
This is not the first time this happened here on the website http://www.thedrawplay.com/comic/sam-bradford-gets-a-checkup-2/
I love the Sexy Rexy anatomy poster in the background of that old comic
It’s official, Sam Bradford is the next Chad Pennington.
I love Sammy Bradford
It’s going to be very interesting at the end of this season, when the Vikings will be faced with a difficult choice: Which of their two fragile QBs they should trust their future to? Should they…
…Pay ridiculous money to Bradford yet again and lock him down long-term?
…Bank everything on the hope that Bridgewater will return to his previous Pro Bowler form and give him a long contract?
…Take a third option and give up on both, draft a new QB or look at the free agent market/trades?
Already seen a few pessimists who are absolutely certain that, whichever choice the Vikings make, it’s going to turn out to be the wrong one. :l
The vikes won’t get it right because they haven’t gotten it right in past situations like this. The last time the bikes had a consistent, competent qb situation was the Mike Tice Era with Culpepper. Before that, it was Fran Tarkenton and the purple people eaters being the 70’s Bills.
Dave, hate to break it to you, but the Eagles are going to be a low seed playoff contender this year.
As an Eagles fan, that won’t happen unless Doug “Andy Reid-but-worse” Pederson figures out that throwing the ball 50-60 times per game with a 2nd year QB is a really bad idea.
I believe they’ll be a high seed one. I see 13-3 in their future.
No way the Eagles go undefeated against the NFC. Just Philly sweeping the Giants would send Dave into a fucking coma.
It’s the international talk like a pirate day, so the eye patch is topical.
You should draw Zimmer with the eyepatch in perpetuity. Why not?
Yes
Holy shit, this one is good. I don’t have anything constructive to add, but this is easily one of the funniest comics Dave’s ever made
Wrong side of the door is covered in blood, you should have had it opening out, not in.
unless Sam is still gushing as the dude opens the door…
Or the door was already open when it happened
Colts choked, DAMMIT
Honestly I’m just happy they kept it competitive for as long as they did. Under Tolzien, this is an absolutely terrible football team. Under Brissett, it’s merely a pretty bad one. I think any colts fan that isn’t a complete homer knew this season was lost coming into it and that Irsay is lying about Luck being anywhere near close to recovery (just as he did with Peyton in the 2011 offseason). Just sit back and enjoy the show, let’s see if the rookies start to prove themselves over the course of the season and count how many more cliches Chuck spouts before he gets fired. It’s gonna be a wild ride.
and I just noticed that your Viking’s logo (on the podium) looks like a toilet handle in front of the letter V
Well Dave, sometimes Sam just wants to go *where every body knows his name….and they’re always glad he came….*
“I would pick the…Eagles…as this year’s big contenders for ‘ultimately a dull mediocre season that fans will have trouble remembering’.”
AHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
