The Saints only average 11 yds/game more than the Vikings. Brees is one of the worst QBs when under pressure. Vikings need to score early and control the run.  _________________ Joined: Aug 2006 Deleted: Sept 12 2014 Reborn: Sept 17 2014 |

I agree on controlling the run, but they have to run more. And not up the middle every time, especially on first downs. That would be key. |

Re: Playoff scenarios I truly look forward to the Vikes hosting either the Saints or the Panthers in the NFCC game. Grudge match against the Saints or just watch Camela Newton crap himself because of the NOISE!

On his big run during the game, if you watch, Matt Kalil was holding Barr while Newton ran past. Of course the refs missed it. Not saying Barr would have stopped him, but at least he would have had the chance. _________________ Vikings fan since Nov. 6, 1966. Annoying Packer fans since Nov. 7, 1966 |

Re: Playoff scenarios What's good, and not-so good, about all of the NFL's playoff contenders
Quote: MINNESOTA (NFC North winner) They’re going all the way — The Vikings are tremendous on defense — from Anthony Barr to Xavier Rhodes to Harrison Smith, these guys are smothering. There have been some hiccups lately — in two of the last three games, in fact — but quarterback Case Keenum is having a career year. They’re doomed — The interior of the offensive line is damaged with guard Nick Easton out and center Pat Elflein hurting. With the way Keenum played against Carolina and Green Bay, it prompts the question: Has the clock struck midnight? http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp ... story.html _________________ “Some people think football is a matter of life and death.

Re: Playoff scenarios S197 wrote: NFC playoff field: 1) Eagles 2) Vikings 3) Rams 4) Saints 5) Panthers 6) Falcons That means that we can't host the Falcons at home in the first round in any scenario. If they win, they'll go to Philly. If the Rams win, we get the Rams, because everyone else will be a lower seed and will travel to the #1 seed. That game is the evening game on Saturday, so we'll either know about the Rams on Saturday night, or will watch the Saints-Panthers game knowing that we'll face the winner. At least, I think I've got that right... |

I remember Chris used to be a Viking fan also. He used to wear a purple tie in support of us I believe. _________________ http://warhammermonkey.com/p/Knoxx/

Re: Playoff scenarios jackal wrote: What are chances we get most of our players (non IR) back from injury in the payoffs I think other than Brock and maybe Ham probably pretty good. Word was Elflein's shoulder injury wasn't new and wasn't overly serious. Not sure how serious Ham's nefk injury is. _________________ “Some people think football is a matter of life and death.

Re: Playoff scenarios Ham said his neck injury will be fine (called it a "stinger"). Nothing was asked or mentioned on his nefk injury, which is troubling. We can't have a FB playing in a playoff game with only one functional nefk.
