This is a meaningless game other than to possibly end a miserable season on somewhat of a high note. Here's my take, Petty was s stand up guy stood in there and took the hits from this POS patchwork line, Fitz wanted $12M, well, it's time to earn it. That being said, I would like to see Hack get some snaps. Don't get me wrong, I don't want him to start but I would like to see him play and get him in there for several possessions. I realize that scenario is not conducive to winning the game, but what's the difference between 4 - 12 or 5 - 11? Let him throw, keep the backs in and use a tight end for extra protection, let him see some real time action, get some completions then get him out.

Is it official that Bryce is out? If so, Hack should play. We gain nothing from seeing Fitz.What if Hack breaks a leg or tear and ACL? That will kill his off season. One of which he will need thousands, Gailey comment, of reps to fix his footwork and mechanics. If we are going to see this kids potential it will not be Sunday. It will be next pre-season.

Will the Vikings keep both Bridgewater and Bradford?

Will the Vikings keep both Bridgewater and Bradford? Good question. Apparently Bridgewater may never fully recover. He could be back at some point early next season but who knows if he'll ever be the same. I'd love to see Hack play but at this point, why? Why risk him getting hurt or completely demoralized behind a ragtag OLine? Isn't that was partially ruined him at Penn State? Geno is done, Petty is hurt. Throw Fitz out there as a sacrificial lamb vs. Rex and his Buffalo wings....afterall, it was his $$$ demands that kicked off this shitshow of a season. I can just see Hack getting hurt. Geno and Fitz are gone next year. Petty was a punching bag and didn't perform well in a handful of starts. So we start 2017 with essentially zero QBs after starting 2016 with 4 of them?

Let Hackenberg play the 4th at least, depending on how the line looks in the game.

Zero point starting Hack for one game of a lost season, let Fitz get killed behind this line by Rex for his last game in the NFL.

Your last sentence is what convinces me.

I hope so. That's the only way I'm watching. It would be nice to watch him play, hopefully look competent and give us at least a glimmer of hope. OLine is so bad I don't know if I would. As much as I want to see him play I would rather Fitzpatrick take the punishment.

I don't get it, this guy is a second round pick. Is Hackenberg really THAT bad? I mean, what were the reports on him coming out of camp?

Todd "the big Dummy" Bowles says that Fitz gives them the best chance to win. Simple statement coming from Todd, the simple minded asshole.

I've never seen people get so upset over "coachspeak" in press conferences. What would you like him to say? We don't necessarily trust in Hackenberg at this time? Or maybe he should say we don't trust our OL and don't want him to play behind them.

So is the idea that Hack goes into next year the fave?
With Hack getting the red shirt treatment, will Macc be open to drafting a third qb?

will Macc be open to drafting a third qb? He freaking better be. At this point, you draft OL, QB, OL, QB, OL, QB, OL. A couple of CBs in there somewhere. I wouldn't even be mad at that draft, at least he'd be trying to fix the problem.

Good ole #FUCKFITZ does give us a better chance of not getting blown out than Hack does right now. That was a simple and TRUE statement.
