SteelKing728 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Let's try this again: let's get to .500! Skol Vikings! We haven't beat the Bears with Trubisky since his first ever start, have we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I am officially worried about this game. Trubisky, for a Bears quarterback, played pretty well last week. Allen Robinson is an underrated WR. In almost any other offense, he'd be a star, and he has a a slight size advantage on Dantzler, and is much stronger going after contested catches. The Bears d-line is still one of the best and they still get pressure coming up the middle. The interior offensive linemen for the Vikings will have their hands full with Edwards and Nichols, and the ends and linebackers protect the edge very well. If given time, Cousins and the receivers should be able to exploit the Bears secondary. But getting pressure in his face has been the way good defenses have been able to rattle Cousins.

Don't worry, Mitch used up his one good performance last week against what has been a horrible Houston defense all year long. The key will always be how the Vikings' offense will do against the Bears defense. Mitch and the Bears offense won't be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think Montgomery could be a problem for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Montgomery has certainly played better the last 3 weeks, it's no coincidence that it's been against 3 teams (GB, Det, Hou) with worse rush defenses than the Vikings do. I don't see him being a significant factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 6-7 for a reason, and the run defense plays a factor in that. I think he's going to be their biggest threat this game alongside Allen Robinson.

He played just like he's always played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

READ! your own posts even. lol. I was making a light joke, VD. However, the effort and energy I saw from him was different. Maybe he was lying lol. Coach talk/player talk is common. I saw an edge to him that game. Disaacs and anyone else is free to disagree to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's always played hard, just hasn't always been effective when doing so, especially on offense. And at least, when he splits out into receiver, he still hasn't significantly improved his route running, which is what Zimmer always wanted him to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
