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.

    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
    • Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
