Vikings at Panthers Predictions - Let's hear it

This is a winnable game.

Even with the bad blocking and turnovers (last week)... if we didn't have as many penalties as we did, we likely could've won despite that. Had like 8 or 9 penalties and gave up at least 60 yards due to that (someone would have to check for exact numbers). If we can cut back on some of those flags, we'll have less 3rd and long situations. That will help a lot.

Our Defense will keep it close no matter what but we need our Oline to at least be below average to have a chance. If CMC plays that'll make things easier but the Oline is they key. There where several plays last week where our guys just missed blocks on stunts which will put Darnold on IR at some point if they don't figure it out.

- Get CMC going early to take some pressure off Darnold, but don't overuse him in his 1st game back.

- Get the ball out early and don't turn it over. Better to take a wide open 5 yard completion than force a 20+ yarder and risk a INT. Get others (Robby Anderson) involved on Offense.

- Come out fast in he 3rd quarter on both sides of the ball

- Don't play conservative with a lead, never ends well.

- Put loads of pressure on Kirk Cousins.

We do these things and it's an easy win.

We also are not giving up 27 points, our D line will smoke Cousins as well.

We've given up 21 and 36 in last two weeks. I'm not here to scream we're gonna lose, but it is definitely possible we give up 27 to a Vikings offense that is not as bad as you think. Now you could argue us scoring more than 6 points.

1.) Agreed.  I would limit his time if he plays.   Get Chuba involved more since he seems to be getting more comfortable in the offense.    Maybe put him and CMC on the field at the same time, fake the hand-off to CMC, give it to Chuba instead and watch him run for a huge gain.    

2.) Agreed.  IMO, I would only attempt longer passes if we were at the opponent's 35-30'ish Yard Line.    But until we get to that point, "MOVE THE CHAINS" should be the mission.

3.) I think someone suggested they go Hurry-Up to get the juices flowing again and I agree.

4.) Also agree.   We need to keep trying to score points whether it be TDs or FGs(but preferably TDs).   Our "D" may be great but it's not like a Legendary "D" such as the '85 bears that we could sit on a lead.   That NEVER WORKS in today's NFL.  

5.) Kirk is not fleet-of-foot nor is he elusive.  He's about as much a Statue as you can get in today's NFL.   The "D" SHOULD FEAST this Sunday.

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
