3 things to remember:

1. The Vikings will have Anthony Barr, Harrison Smith, and Linval Joseph back for their wildcard game vs the Seahawks. None of them played in the first game vs the Seahawks.

2. The Seahawks don't have Thomas Rawls, who played very well vs the Vikings.

3. Yes, Teddy B. doesn't inspire confidence, but who thought Case Keenum could help lead the Rams to a win in Seattle? The Vikings are going to have to win with dominant front 7 and a dominant run game just like the Rams did.

I'd feel better about their chances if they had managed an offensive touchdown at home against them last time

Did you give Atlanta no chance too?  Funny things happens when you re-play a team you blew out earlier in the season.

I think the Stillers will be the AFC's sneaky team. Everyone else is dealing with major injuries. Chiefs could make some noise too. I still want to see New England make it so we can crush them and exact revenge.

I think the Vikings/Seahawks game will be alot closer this time. They may still lose, but it's very hard to embarrass a team twice on their own turf in the same season. 

Idk what to make of Green Bay. Washington has the momentum and GB doesnt. I think Washington could win. But ARod in the playoffs is no joke.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
