Vikings Suck 2.0

If they can't beat the Giants and the Redskins, they don't deserve to advance very far in the playoffs. They will both be playing rookie QBs. Jones is capable of putting up big yardage numbers, but you'd think you'd be able to generate turnovers off of him. The Packers should be 10-3 with the three NFC North teams lined up for the final 3. The Lions may be done by the final game and they aren't going to play Stafford with a bad back if it doesn't mean anything. They also should beat Trubisky and the Bears at home. 

I'd still predict a loss at SF, but maybe MLF learned something about preparing for West Coast trips from the LAC debacle. 

Predictions

@SF - Loss (8-3)

@NYGiants - Win (9-3)

vs. Redskins - Win (10-3)

vs. Bears - Win (11-3)

@Minnesota (Toss-up)

vs. Lions Win (12-4 or 13-3)

Minnesota has these games - predictions are as follows:

vs. Denver - Win 8-3

@Seattle - Loss 8-4

vs. Lions - Win 9-4

@LAC - Win 10-4 (I think the Vikings will take care of business out there)

vs. Packers - Tossup

vs. Bears - Win (12-4 or 11-5)

If the Packers beat the Lions and Bears and lose to the Vikings they'll be 5-1 in the division. Even then, the best the Vikings can do is go 4-2 in the division (they've already lost to the Bears). So, if the Packers go 4-2 including 2 of 3 from the Vikings, Bears, and Lions, the Vikings would have to go 6-0 to win the division. 

 

I don't think they beat the Bears.  Cousins is a scared rabbit in the pocket.  I'm amazed at how jumpy he is with the slightest pressure.  Chicago's D will definitely have the ability to spook Cousins.

It's also my hope the Chargers debacle actually turns into a real positive for this final stretch.  Mayo and Pettine both should learn from it.

During this stretch Kenny Clark needs someone to be able to spell him and Martinez needs cover.  Campbell seems to be a relative band aid for the complete lack of coverage skills at ILB but he's still not a ILB.  I hope those DT workouts bring something fruitful to this final stretch. 

The Bears have played the Zimmer Vikings pretty well despite not always having the better team.  I expect Chicago to give them everything they can handle. 

Assuming the Packers don’t trip up against a team like NYG or Washington they should finish around 12-4.  Losses at SF and at MN seem very possible.

Maybe the Bears can acquire Myles Garrett for the vikings game, since his season in Cleveland is going to be over. He could change his name to Giles Marrett so no one on the vikings would notice. Then, he could apply his tradecraft to Cousins!

If you watch them lately, Kubiak has Cousins rolling out and working off play-action to buy him some time. This is one of the biggest changes over the past several weeks. They also have him throwing shorter, and one reason has been Thielen's injury but also because Kubiak has been smarter with Cousins. I have no doubt that if teams keep Cousins inside and put pressure up the middle that he will revert to his old ways. 

It's pretty damn hilarious watching Cousins roll out.  He is not good.  So completely unnatural.

You would think opponents would do everything in their power to keep Kirk Cousins out of harms way, because the guy is such a stiff.  

It's more of a rooolllll-throw! than a rollout... look at the field... throw. 

vikings getting their asses handed to to them by Denver so far...........

Chase Daniel
Matt Moore
Brandon Allen

Like a who's who. 

Denver has the #4 defense in the league.

hopefully it will be hard for the Vikings to overcome this deficit.

Hopefully Denver won't go into a prevent defensive shell in the second half.

Broncos really blew a chance to stick it straight up purples ass.

Even better, Troy Fumagalli (former Badger) scored a touchdown!

Just a drive-by posting to declare that I love the direction this game is going. I sincerely hope the Broncos can keep it going in this delightful direction. 

Cousins 11/12 in the first half. SOOOO accurate. Got 58 yards to show for it. 

DEN passing offense/receivers having the game of their lives.  Another Allen is looking like AR today.

Dagger......for Denver

Guaranteed Vikings win this game now that he missed that FG. They probably win it anyway by 1 even if he makes it.

Giftwrapping this game for the spermheads.

Spoke too soon I guess

Broncos blew it.

Guess I should turn it off. Broncos haven't done one thing right since I started watching.

Whatever it takes Artis.

Handful of jersey on that last play.

Vikings win. Although they got away with PI, or at the very least defensive holding in the end zone on the last play.

Way to blame the refs.

Just throwing  the viking fans karma back at them. Plus, it's true. Kearse damn near tore Fant's Jersey off of him.

The Broncos played as good a first half of football in the Tool Shed as I've seen (Buffalo in '18 too). I hope the Packers can play as well.

If you're referring to the last play in the end zone, Fant should have been called for OPI.  He pushed off big time.

Yep.  Missed field goal cost the Broncos as well as the Int before half, that cost them another three and a FG would have won the game at the end.  Bad teams lose games like those.

Philly is really starting to come on now.  They’ll be a tough out from here on.

Looked like Kearse and Fant were both pushing a bit. 

Kearse must be getting tutoring from Zendajho.  

Probably why the no-call.  Fant pushed off, Kearse grabbed.  I see Harrison Smith was out at the end, any idea what happened to him?  That would be a huge loss.

Damn I hate these punks!

Diggs is a huge ass and some jerk defensive player did the throat slash at the end of the game. F U Minnesota punks.

Hi jaymo.........

Went to movie this afternoon. “The Sort of Ok Liar”.  Listened to the Viking postgame on the way home...approximately 33% of the talk was about the Vikings getting screwed on calls. (Remember they won the game with an amazing comeback), yet the main topic was an illegal formation penalty on a Bronco field goal (that was overturned and gotten right anyhow) and a Bronco TD where the Viking studio hosts were whining that forward progress had been stopped.

He's consistent.

If the Packers play their game & don't turn the ball over, I honestly believe the Pack will win by a minimum of 7.

I could see the Pack up by 17 late & Niners get a garbage time TD. Pack by 10.

If Pack turns the ball over a couple times & the O-Line is sleeping, the Pack will lose.

I think both teams will try to tire out the other defense by running. 

The line opened at 44 & jumped all the way to 47.5 or 48 in some spots. I like the UNDER. 

Man, it's just killing those two idiots that they can't drop their knowledge here.
