Anyways, inspired Falcons will likely end up having a come from behind win instead of blowing the lead. I think they win 31-28. While this is a Falcons thread, you wait and see, the Bears are going to crumble like an overdone cookie. Foles, if he's still the QB, is a nothing-burger outside of Philadelphia...and the Bears defense can be run on. To be serious about this coming game though, I do expect to see a better performance from Atlanta then they've played thus far, but Zimmer does have a history of success against the Falcons...in fact, he's 4-0 against them while he's been the head coach here. I fully expect him to handle them again. The Falcons offense has been middle of the pack, which isn't enough to carry their really bad defense.

VikeManDan Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Adductor strain for Cook. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30106959/source-minnesota-vikings-dalvin-cook-adductor-strain If he's not 100% by gametime he needs to sit with the BYE week up next and a key divisional stretch in the schedule after the BYE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no longer here. If Jones is healthy, this game could get out of hand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Mattison and Boone time! Cook when healthy is elite. He just can't stay healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Here we go again. One of a few reasons why MN shouldn’t have extended Cook. He can’t go a season without getting dinged up and we’re only a handful of games into it. It’s unfortunate because he’s really talented but what good is that talent do you’re not suit it up to play or playing through it? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'm all that concerned. And if I recall, last year, Rhodes wasn't even on him exclusively...and even in the instance before Rhodes (in Jones' rookie year), Jones was a non-factor. Ridley, potentially, is going to be a bigger problem than Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Speaking of Tuesday Night Football, I really haven't been paying all that much attention to Ryan Tannehill, but WOW...he has really improved as a passer. I noticed last night how much faster the ball comes out of his hand than I remembered when he was in Miami. Plus he still has good to great athleticism. Do you think Spielman could con...I mean work with the Titans for a straight up trade of Kirk Cousins for Ryan Tannehill? A guy can dream can't he!?

We used to be the only team that could say we were undefeated on Tuesday Night Football, now the Titans join us. Too bad it wasn't our game that was on Tuesday night with them so we could have defended our crown! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozizaki Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Coverage map for the game is out. I can't believe the 1-4 Vikings hosting the 0-5 Falcons isn't getting more national coverage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
