KB, Ginn, Funchess vs a 38 year old Terrance Newman, Trae Waynes, and 5'9 Captain Munnerlyn

Vikings looked scary good yesterday, but I wonder how much of that was the Packers being mediocre (didn't look good against the Jags either and they got blown out by the Chargers) and Rodgers being overrated.

Cam>Rodgers

Our WR's>Old man Jordy and Cobb

Our D>Packers D

Olsen>Cook

However, their main advantage is Diggs against our Secondary. He is going to be a nightmare if we can't get pressure up front.

It will no doubt be a close game, but I think we will pull it out at home.

We shouldn't. Big mistake. Rhodes and Floyd will be back next week.

God help me if we let Bradford torch us again

When did Bradford torch us?  

[Bartin]

Xavier Rhodes injured?

[Wolfcop]

It'll be a dogfight. We need to pressure Bradford. If we don't turn the ball over I think we will win, though.

[chknwing]

I am calling it now. The defense has been MIA on a pass rush. it shows up this sunday.  Sack fest.

[Growl]

Minnesota actually has a good collection of CBs, especially Newman who was terrific last year. 

 

We should still hold the advantage, especially size-wise.

Aaron Rodgers should have had a field day against these guys last night, but...

1. The Vikes defense (other than the secondary) under Zimmer is the real deal.

2. Sam Bradford went off.

3. No AP, no running game, which means Sammy B. is gonna throw the ball a lot against a Carolina Panther secondary that is little more than average. 

4. Carolina may need to put up 30 points to win. 

I agree with the first three, don't agree with #4 though.  If Minnesota is that one dimensional, I don't think we will need 30 to win.  Minnesota scored 30 once last year against Oakland, and only with help from special teams defense (a return for a td and an interception that lead to a fg).  Our defense is good enough to keep them below 20 points unless we have problems with turnovers and special teams.

Diggs is a stud.  Bridgewater is decent but Bradford has much more arm talent.  Now they're able to get him the ball more consistently.  Pass rush gotta be lit on fire cause Diggs route running is on point.  I'm expecting a great game.

I think trae  waynes is about as fast as Ginn so I would expect he may not be able to "take the top off the defense" , but the size of funchess and kB will more that make up for it

 

Wowwww smh.. you dare to insult the great Teddy G?!smh

[L-TownCat]

Our Oline will be the difference in this game.  Can our guys keep those Viking defenders off of Cam?

tough matchup but I can't wait to see it.

[chknwing]

lol Saintsreport is in full meltdown.

Rhodes is a lot like Norman but he travels more. He's a big, physical corner with some good athleticism. He's one of the most underrated corners in the league.

Rhodes is gonna limit Benji. He held Julio to just 5 receptions for 56 yards.

Rhodes has to actually practice though.  He didn't practice at all last week.  You act like it's a given that he plays.  

[g5jamz]

Waynes was not that bad last night.  He just spazs at the point of reception, but his positioning and speed puts him in great position a lot of the time.  Newman is a feast or famine type CB.  He guesses...and gets it right sometimes.
