Week 1: Falcons (0-0) at VIKINGS (0-0)

Last year, the Falcons were uncharacteristically bad rushing the ball and stopping the run. So, who will have the most yards rushing this game?

I was super optimistic going into last season but it's exact opposite this time around...I am pretty pessimistic about this season...wouldn't be surprised if Vikings don't reach playoffs yet again.

I'm not a betting man, at all.  But, I can't imagine this Vikings' team NOT making the playoffs.  I can't see them finishing less than 10-6, and 2nd in The NFC North.  I think they'll be 11-5.  I think I'd bet on them making it.

Vikings OL scares me..if they would have had atleast an average OL (15-20 range), then I would be confident of them making playoffs...the other 3 NFC North teams all have a really good DL now. In last season, almost every match(except Rams) they were up against a good DL, the offense struggled big time. Unless, the offense schemes changed drastically this season, I think this offense is still gonna have hardtime scoring whenever they will be up against teams with good DL.

Really? Its hard to imagine the OL being worse then it was last year. Bradbury should help not to mention having an O-Line coach this year.

Isn't Kubiak's and Stefanski's new offence designed to take a lot of pressure of of Cousins, relative to what he faced last season?

Well hopefully he's ready then in a week or two.

yeah i don't think he's at 100% yet and coming off something like an ACL tear, you want to make sure you're as close to 100% as you can be before you return.

 

my guess is he's at 90% or something like that so he should be active in 2-3 weeks.

I expect top notch. I'd give X some help over the top as often as I can.

X will b fine. The DL will bring the pressure ess and Ryan will b hurried all game. Add in the stadium noise, and you have a very ineffective Julio.
