The Vikings barely beat the Lions on Sunday but they’ve had a pretty tough schedule so far aside from the Lions. They’re a missed FG against the Cardinals and OT loss to the Bengals away from being 4-1. They are stacked with talent on offense and are able to air it out and run. Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen are tough to cover. Mattison is a solid backup to Cook. And their defense is still coached by one of the best in Mike Zimmer. 

I’m worried this is a game the wheels completely come off for the Panthers. The Vikings can attack the defense in many of the same ways the Cowboys did. They will not make the same number of mistakes and penalties the Eagles did. Even if CMC comes back at 75% it’ll be a tough game to win. I’ve got a bad feeling about this one.

I think this is a game where you hope that Sam at least does not suck like he did against Philly.

As far as winning the game against the Vikes?   The Defense will have to come and really clamp down for the Panthers to have a shot.

Same sh*t different week. If our interior even just plays average, we win. If not, expect more of the same. Oh, and we better hope Cook isn't back (even if not, Mattinson has been balling). They could very well take a page out of the Cowboys book and go straight run heavy, which does not bode well for us. I honestly don't like this matchup tbh. Vikings have WAY more weapons than the Eagles did.

      Smith Sr. & Zierlein discuss their top 10 WRs

      By top dawg · Posted

      Any QB worth his weight in gold is going to get his guys the ball. Of course he has to have the protection, coaching and experience to do that. Moreover, it has yet to be determined what type of situation this is for a rookie wideout. The most important thing that will determine that is coaching.

      I watched it this afternoon and I thought some of the best discussions was before it even got to the players. One thing that really jumped out to me was when Smitty was asked about how things have changed since he played and the thing he talked about was how when he played and going back to Jerry Rice says, the #1 targeted or looked to receiver was always the X and there's still a lot of people who's minds are still stuck in that idea. But what has happened is that the, what he calls, the F receiver...the flanker...is now the go to guy. You need the X to try and get safeties out of the box, but the QB is now looking for his flanker most of the time. Lots of good discussions all through it, but for some reason the ones involving Ladd, Corley, and Leggette was the most interesting. Ladd was how he may be best fit for just the slot, but he's the best slot guy in the draft and he's just a guy who gets open and doesn't drop the ball. Corley and Leggette are playmakers who are at a risk of being pigeonholed. Leggette is too stiff to be a slot guy but he can do things like Metcalf. Corley is likely to be used much as he was in college, as the big playmaker you just get the ball in his hands however you can, but he's got a lot of room for development as a receiver. It's just good football talk all the way through

      I'd resigned myself to 2000 and never.   Cautiously optimistic based on this off season that 2026 is a real possibility.
