Theyve been beat twice, Todd. This isn't the 85 Bears. We have a shot!

In the past, when I saw the Packers with a good team on their schedule, I was hoping that good team had a bye before playing the Pack (the Bills did this season), or were coming off a loss (thinking a strong team isn't likely to lose 2 in a row). Unfortunately, the Vikings are playing the Bills coming off a loss, in their stadium. A Vikings' win would be quite amazing.

Yeah they are nowhere close to great ... they have however beat some good to decent teams (chiefs, titans, ravens) which we haven't. But the way Allen has looked lately ... even during some wins he's had some great plays mixed in with the younger low-accuracy Allen ... we absolutely have a shot. I think if he doesn't play it blows a chance for us to earn some legitimacy around the league, not that its the most important thing. But enough of the bottom-feeders, we need to start learning how to go toe to toe with playoff contenders. I really hope he plays and plays well, this is a great opportunity. I like Blingy Kirk much more than Kirk the Quiet Do-Good Leader ... he is having fun off the field embracing his nerdiness ... and is being embraced for it. In spite of where he is statistically, I think he is taking a few more risks than before and loosening up. Before, it was like 'no, of course I shouldn't chance an interception', now there's more 'can I throw it up there where my guy has the best chance to come down with it'. That is a seismic shift. He's got a long ways to go IMO to be more than just a good arm ... but the environment is obviously changing for the better and he's responding to it (along with the team).

A question im left with about Kirk being on the Manning Cast last night is did he get his 0 coverage question answered off air by Peyton? He didn't get it answered on the air

First of all, I always take pff line grades with a grain of salt. Second, I have a hard time believing Cleveland was that much worse than Ingram. Third, this was a bad game in an otherwise relatively solid season for Cleveland, while it was a continuation of a really bad year for Ingram.

Great pocket presence under heavy pressure, highly aggressive—both downfield (ADoT over 10 yards) & into tight windows (25% of his throws), pinpoint accuracy & one of the best throws of his career: link to the pass to JJ on 3rd and 7 https://twitter.com/NickOlsonNFL/status/1589367757606645761?s=20&t=gXkqgSAMbNkIKK8GxK-OSA Kirk was the opposite of outstanding today. I've never seen more passes completed for negative yardage in a single game. Look at the drops. The int was a drop by JJ. KJ had a drop and I believe JJ had 2-3. The int wasn't a drop. St. Juste broke the pass up and the deflection got picked. I'm not sure I agree with you, Sweens. But it does seem acceptable to pull on the arm of the WR making it pretty much useless in the NFL anymore so maybe I'm wrong https://twitter.com/3RonJohnson/status/1589339032781484032?s=20&t=r70A9lVZ1ajjF5NK8scz1Q The interference/arm pull on the TD pass to Cook was even more blatant/obvious, and no call, fortunately Cook made the 1 handed catch.

quote: ORIGINAL: ratoppenheimer quote: ORIGINAL: Phil Riewer Worst part about the Samuel TD catch is that he was triple covered and the other two thought Bynum was making the play. yes, they were clearing the area for bynum to make the play.... Bynum had a clear bead on the ball, and even with the ref laying him out, was still within a couple feet of the ball when he landed.

Diggs with a cryptic tweet 'Rejoice' kinda hints Allen is going to play through his injury. I can't remember the last time I wanted a win this bad but no way am I going to get my hopes up too high.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/9/2022 6:43:39 AM)
It seems that Hunter, Kendricks and even Hicks have been playing better lately, maybe they're adapting to the 3-4 ? OTOH, they have yet to face a QB like Allen on the road. I like the way Evans played at CB last week, but will he do as well against a better QB ? They might be missing Dantzler, if he doesn't play, we'll see

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/9/2022 6:45:43 AM)
It felt like during the Washington game, in the 2nd and 3rd quarter, the Vikings didn't run the ball enough, which made it tough on the guards, hence the bad grades. I think they will need to run the ball a little more to beat Buffalo.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/9/2022 6:50:45 AM)
Vikings may be adding a recently released safety from the Raiders for depth: https://heavy.com/sports/minnesota-vikings/jonathan-abram-raiders-cine-bynum-beckham/ And Beckham may be still in the works. I think if they beat Buffalo, OBJ would be off the table. If they come up short, he may be thought of as the missing link.
