I'll admit, I know all about the Vikings offense but very little about their Defense besides the rankings. I did not watch much Vikings football this year. What are we facing?
 
Jared Allen is a beast. Decent Secondary, good rush defense. I like our D more though.:starspin
 
I was told that they're 2nd in the League in yards against. Pretty good.
 
Tough against the run, Austin, Crayton, Williams, and Witten will give them fits all day long.
 
idk about their D..but why travel to Minny? i mean look at what theyre saying..

"this game is in the bag. cowboys have looked very good, but much of that is due to the eagles playing just awful. missing assignments, penalties, personal fouls, turnovers, etc. the cowboys will be comin' in with a lotta swagger after beating the crap out of the eagles twice in a row. but the eagles can't get to romo like we can. and they can't stop the run like we can. i'm already getting nervous for next sunday! it's gonna be a long 8 days.
"

:rolleyes:
 
I've watched some of their games and just really wasn't impressed this year and I think it has to do with my feelings about their schedule....
 
The Vikings have looked terrible for about the last month of the season save for the game where the Giants rolled over for them. I think we beat them.
 
I think Minnesota is overrated and I have said this all year. They really didn't beat anyone with a darn this year except Green Bay twice and to me that was due to the Favre factor in both of those games so I almost want to cancel those two games out. They will get a true test from us next week.

My thoughts exactly. No one. And I mean no one scares me in the NFC. As a matter of fact, the only team I would be a bit nervous about would be playing the Colts and Manning in the SB and even then, I still have some confidence that we could win.
 
Their DL is pretty darn good.

Kevin Williams and Jared Allen will be tough to contain.

Their LBs are tough and hard-nosed. Good run-stoppers....I think Witten may be able to get catches against them.

I think we may be able to get yards on their DBs if we can give Romo time.

It'll be tough....plus there's that stupid horn they play every single time the Vikings do something positive.
 
The 2 Williams up the middle of the 4-3 will be tough on the freeze draw

Jared Allen top notch speed rusher that Flo will need to be up to speed on

If the Bears can put up 30 late in the year........I like our chances to score enough....

Farves got alot of weapons also.....nice set of wrs, speed TE, & AP has to be accounted for....

AP like Felix.......is a hold your breath rb........but alot tougher to bring down

hmmmmm.....I'm 450 miles away......hmmmm
 
Well the story of their Defense is simple.

They played great against the rush and were solid against the pass until Winfield got hurt... Right before he got back they lost EJ Henderson ( the leader of their Defense) and things went down hill until the last game.
 
I'm actually interested to see the match up between Greenway and Witten. It'll be a battle all day for both I'm sure.
