Will steve smith top his stats from the last time we played the vikings?

9 receptions

157 yards

1 TD

This was with Matt Moore throwing him the ball, with Deangelo Williams out, with nobody at the TE position, playing foxball against a very, very good vikings defense.

If smitty wants to have a massive game to stay atop the receiving chart and stay on pace with jerry rice this looks like an awfully nice candidate for it.

NO. Because nothing ever goes as expected. We actually really end up winning 9-6 this time....in OT. Vikings miss their FG attempt and we get ours;) Cam has a 40 QB rating and we pass for 98 yards while Peterson is held to -3, Williams rushes for 130 and another 70 by Stewart, and Ponder goes 33-40, doesn't get picked off once but never scores in the red zone. Vikings put up 400 yards total offense and score 6.

Last time Fox and Davidson rolled Moore away from Jared Allen's side of the field a lot to neutralize his pass rush. If memory serves, we were hurting on the O-Line at the time.

Doubt we see that sort of strategy this game. Allen vs Gross will be a matchup to watch though.

    • Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales. 
    • If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod. 
    • Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
