This is what greatness looks like. Props to Russ for scoring 17 points. lol c'mon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 There was chatter yesterday that NOLA should have bypassed the FG and gone for the TD when they were 4th and goal from the MN 11 yard line. It was early and I commented they were right to take the easy points. Turned out to be a consequential 3 points no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 4th and goal from the 11 is like 1.8 expected points. Probably lower. Kick it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that will be the most contested game I think. Next weekend is going to be boring compared to this one. See at least 3 of the games as double digit wins. BLT (38) TEN (20) KC (34) HOU (23) GB (27) SEA (16) SF (24) MIN (20) I don't know if SF - MN will be that close, mostly because of the Vikes' OL.

Carolina 24 Arizona 27 v. Seattle 13 (when they had a chance to be playing the next week for a division championship and a bye) LOL! This just shows how hard it is to win in this league. SEA found a way to win these games winning ugly like we did, especially on the road. Yes, we struggled in Detroit but we usually do. We aren't the best team still left in the dance but we aren't as bad as cannondale is suggesting. Wasn't that game against AZ a home game for them?

AZ dominated all three phases and ultimately finished them off with Brett ******* Hundley because of the injury to Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Wilson escapes, it almost always ends up sucking for the defense, as you pointed out. He can run it for 15 yards, or make some ridiculous throw that leaves announcers speechless. With our defense, I prefer a matchup with a pocket passer because we’ve proven we can get home. If our defense can play disciplined and contain and pressure Wilson, it should be a no-brainer. Ugly? Probably. If their OL is as bad as Lodestar suggests I would think Z. Smith could replicate his performance like he did against MN a couple of weeks ago unless Wilson gets loose of course.

gopackgo972 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 This is when Seattle was healthy too. Man this team sure is beatable. Got rolled at home by AZ that’s a pretty big indictment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys remember what Z, Clark, Preston, and co did do Minny's offensive line at MN? I expect San Fran to do equally or even worse to them this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Tom Pelissero - Vikings RB Dalvin Cook addressing reporters, draws a distinction between being injured and banged up. Says he was just banged up at end of season. Had 31 touches in return Sunday. “I’m fine, just to let y’all know.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasquatch Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Question: when considering the "odds", which is more 'likely': 1. beating a team the second time you play them where you lost the first game in that same season Or, 2. beating a team three times in the same season I understand there's a lot of criteria that has to be considered when running the math for the "odds", home versus away, matchups, etc. I'm just curious if statistically speaking, the odds favor one scenario over the other, regardless of what our heart or gut says?
