Minnesota Vikings

[CATCH17]

Anyone think they are the 2nd most talented team in the NFC behind us?

This team scares me more than the Saints or the 2 other wildcard teams.

If we beat this group than we are on our way.

I would definently rather be playing the Saints. The running game is what makes this a different ball game. We need to jump on them fast and make them one-dimentional!

 

[Hypnotoad]

Order of NFC playoff teams I think are more likely to beat us:

1. Eagles
2. Packers
3. Saints
4. Vikings
5. Cardinals

Agree. This is definetely key.

Stopping the run is the main thing for us going into this game.

I'm most worried about their crowd. We need to be mentally sharp.

I'm not afraid of any NFC teams at this point, but the Vikings are a good team. I just don't think they're playing that well at the moment. I also don't think Favre can make it through an entire playoff run without throwing away a game for them. Hopefully, it's this game.

I don't worry about so called talent levels of a team, but I do think Minnesota is a very good team. That being said, they got stomped out by a bad Carolina team not too long ago, so they're obviously beatable. Their other losses were to good teams (GB, Pittsburgh, I forget the last)

Their defense is good but it's the kind of defense we don't usually have trouble scoring on. They won't be able to get a lot of pressure, and though they're very hard to run on, the way we run with draws and outside stuff will be an advantage for us.

Their O-Line is not protecting Favre particularly well right now, so that is another advantage for us.

 

[CATCH17]

I just feel like this is the only team left that we just can't out muscle.

Any of these other teams we can probably just bull over. Packers would be tough too I guess but at least we'd see them at home.

Vikes are an enigma inside an enigma.....

they can loose to the Bears allowing them to put up over 30 pts, late in the season.

They barely got by the 49rs early----with Farve throwing up 4 balls that shoulda' been easy piks....and then he gets very lucky on a last second hail mary to beat the 49rs.....

review their sched.......

beat G.Bay twice early...G.Bay was 4-4 midpoint, then got hot off of Cowboy win

Lost to Pitts......then Pitts went into the tank 6 st. losses

otherthan that who have the Vikes played......Baltimore
Lost to Carolina late.....M.Moore put up 300, 100 yd rusher allowed

I like our chances.....really do........

The more and more I see your posts every team scares you. Everytime you post I picture you typing out your worthless post with that Michael Irvin face. There is nothing to worry about have confidence in your team. A team where there only quality wins are against Green Bay in two Brett Favre revenge games when he played out his mind and Green Bay wasn't playing well is not a team I am scared of.

actually I think they lost to Green Bay twice this year.

I just got a lot of respect for what Favre, Peterson, and the Vikings D line can do.

Yes but you say you are scared of every team we play. Minny is good and they had a nice season for a team with a soft schedule but let's stop acting like they are some unstoppable force or something like that.

 

[windward]

We can exploit their secondary.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Not one team in the NFL scares me.

 

[punchnjudy]

Not worried about Favre (who didn't even survive the last time we saw him) and I'm not worried about their d-line. They couldn't stop Carolina's running game, and they shouldn't be able to stop ours.

I'm only worried about a letdown after ending the streak and beating the Eagles three straight times, but you could easily flip that around and say they'll be playing looser now.

 

[jobberone]

MN is unbeaten at home and the key to the game is not stopping the run although that's always true. The key is to pressure Favre into making mistakes and not sitting back there destroying any team.

I hope we have some creative blitzes in mind if the front five doesn't pressure enough.

And our bread and butter draws will likely not be effective against the interior of that line. My guess is we attack the outside more than inside. Allen needs to be accounted for.

 

[Fletch]

Sorry, but the Iggles scare me more than the Vi-Queens do. The Igg's have more down-the-field and screen weapons than the Queens. Our defense, the way they've been playing, can handle the best of Minny.

Just because we play the Queens, don't mean they can do whatever they want. Our defense will dictate what they want to do. I guarantee it.

 

[ethiostar]

Packers scare me more than the Vikings.

.......but that game will be a home ....Lets not start looking ahead now
