Week 4: VIKINGS (2-1) at Bears (2-1)

[Eric dunn]

Im guessing one of the practice squad WRs gets called up this week (Mitchell likely) & Bisi sees some extended action vs CHI. There's no way a vet could come in and be ready in one week, unless he somewhat knows the offense. Not many veteran options out there anyways (Crabtree, Aldrick, Matthews, Garcon). 

Also curious to see who returns punts with Beebe likely out, my guess would be Hughes.

Painfully, I turned on the Week 17 game. One of the things brought up in our first drive was our third down struggles, which finished 15-59 (25.4%) over the last 5 games of the season. This was on both sides of the OC change too, and included the comfortable wins against Miami and Detroit.

Against Green Bay, we fell back into those struggles, going 4-13. However, in our two wins this year we were a combined 10-19 on third down.

CJ Ham played a total of 3 offensive snaps against the Bears last year. I'm guessing that number goes up this week.....

My biggest fear is our running game doesn’t work, and the bears actually start using Montgomery

I think the Vikings are in for a tough, physical, low scoring game.  The kind of game that was normal back when the NFC Central was known as the Black and Blue Division.

Picking Chicago.  

I see us turning the ball over a couple times o n our own side of the field, leading to a couple easy scores for Chicago.

Something we, with Kirk Cousins won’t be able to over come.  He’ll have to play well against a seemingly good defense.  Very well.  Prove me wrong!  Please

This is the type of game where Cousins is going to have to play mistake free and move the chains. Can’t afford a bad game from Cousins. The Vikes defense needs to come out sharp, cant give up quick scores as they did in GB.

Let’s hope this happens

what's the over/under on the amount of times cousins fumbles? 2.5?

Depends on what the odds are of Hicks playing. I think that'll make a big difference.

Cousins has never fumbled in a game against the Bears.

Why would you jinx it?

I only jinx QBs in the 5000-yd game, not Gameday threads.

Something’s  gotta give. Had the bears lost to the Broncos justifying so! Y’all might have gotten this win 100%.. Going to be very tricky. Cheering for y’all to expose Trusucky.
