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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
