Viks are looking very beatable.

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

The thing that scares me is that now without McIntosh who's very fast (was)Peterson who hits that hole like a Ferrari and an old man like Godfrey is gonna have a hard time keeping up with him.

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

They are 7th in scoring defense. To me, that's the number that matters. Points win and lose ball games. Not total yards. That's why I hate that yardage determines "total" defense and offense.

Just when I was about to say something negative about their passing game they just connected on a 71 yard pass. Shit. Oh they missed the extra point! HA!

On a side note, their best corner Antoine Winfield left the game with a shoulder injury and will not return. I hope the guy is okay but I wouldn't mind it one bit if he had to sit out next week.

Kyle Orton blows. If NO wins against the Eagles we are screwed because they are going to kill the Bears. I just pray that the Giants lose in Buffalo.

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

why isnt griese playing? hes way better than orton

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

One thing to note is T.Jackson is a horrendous QB. he has made some terrible decisions this game, and the Viks are just lucky the Bears suck.

If we get good pressure on the QB and inhibit the run we should have a good chance.

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

And as soon as I said that Jackson looks hurt lol.

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

Damn. I actually thought that Chicago may pull this one off. Peterson is sick.

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

Sidney Rice got carted off and Antoine Winfield was hurt earlier. I'm not by any means cheering injury, but it would be big for us if both of those guys couldn't go this Sunday.

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

The Bears are just awful. Awful. Vikings can definitely be beat next week. Put them away early by taking advantage of inevitable turnovers. Something the Bears could not do tonight.

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

Vikes win 20-13. This is a good matchup, but very winnable. Tarvis throws a lot of INTS, so our secondary better at least come up with two themsleves. Not sure how we are going to handle Peterson and Taylor though, especially with us losing Rocky. If Collins has a nice game throwing we should be in great shape. I expect CP to get around 70-80 yards and maybe one TD. It boils down to what you guys stated earlier, how our LB's handle their running game. Turnovers by Jackson can give us this game though if we can turn them into points. Kid has a cannon arm, but is too inconsistent and makes bad throws.

Re: Let's Talk Vikings
 

We have to find a way to shut down Peterson and Taylor. It was bad enough that we couldn't slow down Jacobs last night, he basically slowed down himself.

Yep, Jackson throws a ton of picks. Thing is we do not get too many picks, but need to capitalize on this guy's inconsistency.

Yeah to be honest I bet we do better against Peterson than with the tank Taylor. This will be a definite prime time game!!!!!!
