Can the Vikes get their first home game win of the year? The odds are slim to mostly none but you just never know.

The Vikings finally have a good O-line and the defense it 15th in yards/game and 21 in points/game. Our offense in 12th in yards/game and 18th in points/game. This was supposed to be the omen of the perfect storm that would harken the emergence of our deep playoff run. Unfortunately we don't pick up the blitz worth a crap. San Fran defense is #3 in yards/game and #1 in points/game. I fear they will FEAST on our offense that seems to panic and then chaos ensues. Fun fact: San Fran's offense is #6 in yards per game and #2 in points per game. They are legit. My prediction is a classic prime time debacle. Niners 41, Vikes 17 - with 14 of those points coming in the fourth quarter, down 3+ scores.

And we can't run the ball.

32nd in attempts (despite every game being a 1 score finish, 30th in yards, 31st in TDs

Not looking good, but with Deebo and CMC sidelined or at least hobbled...we may still have a slight chance of stealing one.

OK. That's all the fantasy I can muster here.

The keys to this game are simple. Fluster the young QB, Which Flores seems pretty good at. and on offense, Long sustained clock eating drives ending in points. I think we can do the first. We haven't shown any ability to do the second all season.

After this game the schedule is ALL very winnable games with the hardest against Detroit.

And this one is against arguably the best defense in the NFL - although probably the second best. Cleveland is #1.

This will be the litmus test for this IOL.

Maybe, maybe not. It’s really our blitz pickup that is the problem.

Not sure SF has to blitz much with that front 4

Oh, snap. I thought they might have a chance to steal one here. Then I just remembered. It's a game in primetime. Cousins, in primetime.

Chances of victory 0.0000000000000000363217 %

If we're lucky the Niners bury the dagger deep early and don't stop twisting until the end. Maybe that would spark the selling that is required.

Worst case is a close loss that gives the owners hope, prevents the sell off, and we muddle to a 7-10 ish record.

There is an outside chance that a miracle turn around starts here, but the odds of that are very remote and even if we make the playoffs the odds of us doing anything substantial while we're there are as close to 0 as a number can get.

Vikes win tonight.



joejitsu -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:15:05 PM)

Kick the damn ball off, for the love of Mike!



Todd M -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:15:57 PM)

If we play clean and get a good win life will work out.

If we flub and soil ourselves it’s all going to shit.

I'm thinking the latter. But, a win would be cool.



Todd M -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:17:47 PM)

I might even search for God if it goes good enough.



David Levine -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:18:29 PM)

Risner in for Cleveland.



joejitsu -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:18:58 PM)

Geebus. A nice run, followed by a stupid behind the line pass. Then, a fumble.



beo -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:18:59 PM)

Right on cue!



David Levine -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:19:00 PM)

Another effing turnover.



David Levine -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:19:26 PM)

That’s on Addison.



Todd M -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:20:05 PM)

Shit I didn’t know it started.

Not looking good!



David F. -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:20:10 PM)

Let me guess… not kirks fault?



David Levine -> RE: WEEK 7: vs 49ers 10-23-23 7:15PM CT (10/23/2023 7:20:13 PM)

I love Addison, but he’s not the least bit physical.

That one wasn’t. Addison had no separation and let the defender take it away from him.

Nope. Watch him try to block someone. It's sad.
