Of course falling multiple games behind both the Saints and the Rams probably doesn't make our cause look any better. We seem to play better on the road this year anyway.

Guest Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think, if the Vikings were healthy (and some players and coaches were to engage their brains better) I think they would be running with the Rams in the NFC. Yet, I think this will be an AFC year. The Chiefs and the stupid Patriots are the class of the NFL right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They, like the '98 Vikings, are going to find trouble in the playoffs with a defense that bad...and the defense is that bad. I'm not sure which player is their Jimmy Hitchcock, but I'm certain they have a couple of them. I actually have more faith in the Chargers. I think they're going to be dangerous if they make the playoffs. They're already experienced in road games, since they play 16 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 The 2018 season isn’t even half over, but the Rams are close to having an overwhelming lead for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. At 8-0, the Rams have the best record in football. The second-best record in the NFC belongs to the 6-1 Saints, and the Rams visit New Orleans this week. With a win, the Rams would have a 2.5-game lead and the head-to-head tiebreaker advantage, and it would be very, very tough to envision anyone catching them. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/10/29/rams-are-one-win-away-from-having-a-stranglehold-on-the-nfc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I feel like any hopes for a first-round bye are over. Too much ground to make up. That's not the end of the world though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
