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.

    • The Bucs waived shilo sanders after he got ejected. 
    • I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC
    • Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
