vike daddy Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Rodgers' injury leaves the NFC North wide open for the remaining 10 games. Even with the bandaids to their offense, the Vikings have to be considered the new favorites due to a stingy defense led by Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith and the ferocious pass-rushing tandem of Everson Griffen and Danielle Hunter. Smith had an extraordinary week, notching 1.5 sacks and a spectacular diving interception Sunday, six days after sealing the Monday night victory with an instinctual interception of Bears rookie Mitchell Trubisky. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000861510/article/what-we-learned-from-sundays-week-6-games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It will be an abject failure if we do not win the division after the Rodgers injury. The Bears are a bottom-feeder, the Lions aren't anything special, and the Packers are dead in the water unless Brett Hundley turns out to be the next Aaron Rodgers. Win the division, get that home playoff game, and then it is only 3 games from the Super Bowl. Hopefully Teddy is back and just hitting his stride as we go into the playoffs. There is always a chance someone like the Falcons start turning it on, but as of now there isn't a great team in the NFC so we have as good of a shot as anyone.

And yet, I don't know anyone that is truly scared of the Eagles. It's wide open as far as I'm concerned. The Eagles still have some tough games left, although their schedule isn't nearly as daunting as the Vikings'. It's going to be interesting, but I do believe the Vikings have just as decent a shot as anyone at this point to get HFA. The 5 games out of the bye will tell us everything. If they can come out of that with 4 out of 5 (granted, that's dependent on them winning both of these next 2 games), I'd say they'd be in very good shape.

Seattle will always worry me because of their history. Dallas is still immensely talented, if they can play up to it, they could be troublesome. Philly is playing really good football, haven't watched much of them this year. NFCS is wide open. Saints are playing better. Falcons are still dangerous. Cam can beat anyone if he's on.

I just think that 4 out of 5 on the road out of the break as pretty difficult, especially considering the seeming difficulty they have with Washington and the Thanksgiving game vs Detroit then traveling to Atlanta...I'm not quite as concerned with the Rams game (in between the Washington game and the Thanksgiving game) and the Panthers game, but they aren't going to be easy either.

VikeManDan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Remaining schedule: vs BALT @ CLE BYE @ WASH vs LAR @ DET @ ATL @ CAR vs CIN @ GB vs CHI Getting to 6-2 is extremely possible, I'll wait to reserve judgement on the rest of the season until after the BYE. A lot can change in 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans are fans of teams, I’m sure they will wish Wentx well, but ultimately they want the Vikings to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
