vike daddy Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 we are not tied with GB, we own the tie breakers against them presently also. head to head, better division record, better conference record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The game they let get away against Detroit hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 NFC North teams' next two games, taking them to the season half way point: MINN - Baltimore, Cleveland in London GB - New Orleans, bye week DET - bye week, Pittsburgh CHI - Carolina, at New Orleans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCountryEvo Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Baltimore and Cleveland both seem very beatable. I wouldn't wager that we should win both games with Cleveland being the tougher of the two teams because it isn't a game in London and they have a surprising amount of good players on a team that doesn't seem to click for some reason...we just have to hope the don't figure it out against us. As far a step the rest of the year, our biggest competition will probably be Detroit. With a loss against them already, they are our biggest opponents in the North assuming Rodgers is in fact out for the year. Of course, I would hope we can win every game through the super bowl, but realistically we just need to stay healthy and outpace Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Baltimore has a solid defense, but that offense is rough. At home next week, I feel pretty confident about that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Chicago winning these games will end up costing them in the draft. Rodgers could come back and GB isn't dead yet. Still have a fairly easy schedule. The North is wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At home next week, I feel pretty confident about that one Baltimore much like the Bears, we have to shut down their runningbacks. Collins can run and Allen is there passing threat. 2 good defenses. Cleveland scares me because it would be a real Minnesota thing to do to lose to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 the Vikes are well liked in the London games. the crowd will be ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The fact we have a decent shot to go into the bye at 6-2 is a little surprising, especially considering what we've dealt with at QB and RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 after those two games we have some what of a tough stretch. Washington is back, and most likely Norman will be back with a healthy defense, Rams are no joke and will be a huge game for our front 7, @Lions, @Falcons, and then @Panthers. That's a rough stretch. Hopefully we can stay healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
