Amen. Dak and Zeke are totally different players than they were back then. The Gents are due to see a vastly differently team than the one they played back in September. Zeke, was in his pro infancy as compared to now and Dak has made great strides in his recognition and adjustments as well. They'd better be up for it.
As far as the Vikes are concerned, I see them as highly comparable to the Ravens albeit with a more vulnerable OL. It'll still be interesting, though.
That defense is pure Bengals with more talent in the scheme they play. I am excited, a little sad to hear about Zimmer having to miss the game. It is starting to feel like playoff football these days that little tingle in the air. Anxious to see the Smith vs Griffin battle at Left Tackle tonight. Also the Dak vs Rhodes both are big and mean.

The NFL Network is really running with the idea that Bradford will light us up in like manner that Cousins did for the Skins. Here's hoping they're doing little more than creating excitement for this matchup. If he finds success in that attempt, it'll likely mean every team to play against us from now on will be totally disposed to doing the same.

Our defense had better make sure that Bradford doesn't enjoy the same success that Cousins did. Of course, the Vikes will still have to contend with our offense -- that should easily make it a man-sized challenge for them also, no question. Still thinking we've got the edge on them but here's hoping the Boys aren't feeling too cocky about themselves. Vikes might be loose w/Zimmer out.

It did not work out too well for the Commanders, but it might provide them with some hope. As long as we can bend and not break we look like geniuses. The Vikes do not want to get behind to fast and too far at the start of the game so I expect the defense to be tested early. This might be a game where the crowd noise becomes a factor they can really dial it up.

My heart is really beginning to step up the pace here before game time. I'll be obliged to have a beer as the game commences, just to settle me down to a breakneck level of excitement. Here's hoping you'll enjoy this game as much as I'm about to. This should really be a trip, m'friend! ;)

Either way it will be a good journey. Especially if we play well like you said and limit the turnovers.
