Rollouts take away half of the field, and considering that Cousins is good at using the whole field it’s probably not in your best interest to have a lot of rollouts. 

Makes sense but I'd take Kirk working with half a field and having time to throw the ball over working with a full field and not enough time to throw the ball.

Catch 22?

The loss to N.O. is palatable for N.O. is a good team and better than the Vikings plain and simple.  The Lions are not.  It is a must win.

I will only disagree with the bolded. They were better on Sunday, however, I don't think they're clearly better "plain and simple".

I will agree that we are better than the Lions and need to take care of business.

Oh, I think I agree with Bermuda.  THIS season, the Saints are better than the Vikings.  If the Vikings were full strength and had some luck added in, then maybe they are equal.

I don't even think they need the luck. A healthy Vikings team that simply isn't unlucky can beat any team in the NFL. But we're still waiting for this team to put together a complete performance.

I tend to agree with Nozizaki.  Our offense is just starting to play up to the level we expect, and in spite of the weaknesses on the line, our offense seems to put up points every week.  The next 4-5 weeks are going to be huge for us.  If we can get some division wins and just be in the playoff hunt, this is going to be a team that nobody should want to see in the postseason.  This might be the year where we end up peaking at just the right time.
