Meh, that won't be enough if AD has less than 20 yards rushing and if Bridgewater is too scared to throw for anything longer than 5 yards.

In the game vs the Seahawks a few weeks back, the Vikings were missing their 3 best defensive players. They were down big at the beginning of the game and had to abandon the run game. Also, according to Vikings fans, Norv Turner revamped the offense to suit Teddy's strengths after that beatdown by the Seahawks. They switched from a lot of 7 step drops to majority short and intermediate routes (Teddy's strengths). If the Rams with Case Keenum can beat the Seahawks in Seattle, I'm confident the Vikings with Teddy at home can as well. Also, I'm expecting the Vikings to be very motivated for this game and have the mental edge over the Seahawks, similar to our 2nd Atlanta game.

Some of your are acting like Seattle is LA. It's basically Canada. I'm from London and could tell you guys that it gets damn cold in Seattle this time of year too.

I think it's more of taking a big advantage away from Seahawks. RW passing is better than Vikings passing game.

There is a difference between 30 degree weather and -10. You have to experience it to be prepared.

If it's below 0 degrees for the game, it will absolutely affect the passing games. I mean just think about holding, gripping, and throwing the football for Russel Wilson who doesn't wear gloves. A lot of his touch passes require finesse and very good control of the ball. Teddy by the way always plays with gloves and mainly throws short/intermediate passes. A huge advantage of Seattle's (the passing game) will be negated, forcing the game to be an ugly low scoring slugfest. With the Vikings defense and AP, I think they can beat Seattle.

The average daily high in January for Seattle is 47 and the average daily low in January for Seattle is 37.

That's cold for a guy from the Deep South.

That's a shirt-sleeve weather for a guy from Minnesota.

i lived in minnesota for a few years as a kid. i remember christmas 1993 being -14 when i woke up to open up my hess trucks and hotwheels cars. fug being outside in that

Chicago was the closest I got and it was terrible.  First week in December it was -7 with the windchill, and it was the coldest I have ever been.  And I have been North of the artic circle.

Their offense is built on quick short passes.  If the running game isn't there, they're fuged

No.  The time for our game is set regardless of our opponent.

They decided to move to the north sideline at TCF Bank Stadium before they started playing there last year, after a stadium analysis showed temperatures would be noticeably warmer in the sun on that sideline, compared to the late-afternoon shadows on the south side of the stadium. After the Panthers game last year, the Vikings said they found a 20-degree temperature difference between the sidelines.

Well at least Vikings will be a little bit warmer on their sidelines.

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
