VikeManDan Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Nice to be the team causing this frustration. Now if only we could do it in the playoffs... Alright, enough, we’re on to GB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this week is a lot bigger opportunity to prove it. If anything this game sort of reminds me of the game we had against the Saints in 2017 week 1, where I was worried we would crush the Falcons and might have to play them again in the playoffs.

swede700 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Like I said previously, I have no problem with the mass media thinking it's the Falcons stinking more than the Vikings actually being good. They don't handle external pressure well, so keep it away as long as possible. I'd rather keep it away until after they destroy the Chiefs at Arrowhead.

vike daddy Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Cousins threw only 10 passes all game, completing eight, good for 98 yards and a touchdown. That’s the fewest passes a Vikings quarterback has attempted in a regular-season win since 1977, in a game at Green Bay where the wind chill made it feel like it was minus 3 degrees. But Sunday’s game was played indoors. Since 2001, according to ESPN’s Stats & Information Group, only one winning team has attempted fewer passes while playing indoors — the visiting Carolina Panthers at the Atlanta Falcons in a 10-3 victory in 2006. The Atlanta Falcons had the next fewest passes in an indoor home win, throwing 13 times in a 34-21 victory in 2008 — Matt Ryan’s first game his rookie season. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-vikings-are-running-like-its-1972/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
