Vikings @ LAC - Pregame Thread

[Pondering Her Percy]

Anyone know why Kearse is inactive today?

I see most people are preparing themselves to be disappointed. I think the Vikings will hold tough especially on the Defensive side.

Also who are we supposed to root for in this Bears Packers game?

And Mattison too. Why is he out?

There's advantages and disadvantages to either outcome. If we want to take the division, we need the Pack to lose. If we simply want to get into the playoffs (wildcard), the Bears losing is a good thing.

Looks like a moot point now anyways. (21-3)

Mattison is his ankle. He hasn’t practiced all week. Kearse surprises me though

Yeah if they bears lose which it looks like they will, and we win or even the rams win, they are eliminated from the playoffs. So they are in big trouble but it could be a good thing for us come week 17. I could see them laying down since they are eliminated

Uh ohh. Looks like Bears are fighting back..

Also regarding our hands injuries it really sucks because sometimes I feel like our team relies on our starters. Our " next man up" game has to be on point.

Yeah same here. Something about this team that just seems different to me. They’ve fought hard in every game and I expect that to continue. We are battle tested that’s for sure

I think what Diggs has accomplished this year has been amazing especially with Adam being a non factor so far this year. Hopefully, we'll see a different kind of offense today with Thielen. Really want to see the offense start strong, take chances downfield early, be aggressive. Also want to see Cousins start stepping up in the pocket to give his receivers (downfield) more time to get open. I think I've seen him step up maybe once so far this year. I also think Cook has been a little impatient in his runs. I have a feeling it's going to be a high scoring game so I hope the offense is up to the challenge.

I was looking at this:

https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team

Scoring efficiency they are 10th on offense, BUT they turn the ball over 5th most of any team.

Defensively they are 12th in scoring.


Based on those numbers their record is due to all the turnovers on offense. The key to beating them then is turning over Rivers early and often. We do that we win going away. We don't...

Sometimes I even surprise myself.

This is amazing.

You correctly predicted the Vikings would beat the Chargers if they won the turnover battle. Such clever insight. I don’t know how you do it.

Got any stock tips? I could use some Christmas cash.

I did not mention the turnover battle at all, but you sure got me good here.

Nice job!

Man, I like to participate in game day chat however, I had to log off early because it got cynical quick. But I'm gonna use this opportunity to toot my own horn.
