SemperFeist Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The only thing that “scary” about our next 4 games, is that 3 are on the road back to back to back. The teams we play don’t particularly scare me. Honestly, the Rams are probably the toughest team of the 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 one road game is at Detroit at least. lots of familiarity there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The Vikings haven’t allowed Detroit to reach 20 points in regulation, since Zimmer got here. If the offense finally has its act together, we should be able to beat Detroit. Even on a short week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 copied from an Eagles fan in NFL Gen: Combined W-L of remaining schedule for top NFC teams: LA Rams 32 17 .653 New Orleans 29 21 .580 Minnesota 27 22 .551 Philadelphia 24 25 .490 Eagles have the easiest remaining SoS in the race for number one in the NFC.

vike daddy Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 are the Vikings getting left out of the discussion? lol. another fan in NFL Gen: "It's obvious Rams and Eagle fans are looking forward to week 14, but even I'm interested in Saints @ Rams in week 12. If Saints get the W, then they are probably the front runner for NFC favorite. If the Rams win, but then lose to the Eagles 2 weeks later, the Eagles are most likely the favorite to rep NFC in the SB. If the Rams beat the Saints and Eagles, then no question they should be considered the best NFC team entering the playoffs. Philly @ Seattle, then @ LA is tough, but no Richard Sherman makes the 'Hawks game a lot less scary, imo, even playing in Seattle." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Keenum is the starter, there will always be a negative perception. It's as if other fan bases know that he will fail down the stretch. That may not be the case but it's easy to get overlooked being the team starting a backup QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Same thing happened in 2015 with Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler starting for Denver. For most fans, a teams success starts and ends at the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 They also aren't mentioning them as one of the surprise teams. I'm OK with them flying under the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Week 10 PFT power rankings 1. Eagles (8-1; last week No. 1): Chaz Green gives Eagles fans good feelings for Sunday night, albeit bad memories of Winston Justice. 2. Patriots (7-2; No. 2): The only question left for the balance of the regular season is whether they’ll win the AFC Championship at home or on the road. 3. Steelers (7-2; No. 3): Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t like Thursday football. Some Steelers often act like they’re allergic to Sunday football. 4. Rams (7-2; No. 4): If they keep winning games, maybe the stadium will get to 75-percent capacity. 5. Vikings (7-2; No. 5): The movie is getting good, but longstanding Vikings fans know how it will end. 6. Saints (7-2; No. 6): They dumped beer on Mark Ingram‘s face in Buffalo. What happens when he jumps in to the stands in a weed-legal state? 7. Chiefs (6-3; No. 7): Unbeatable coming out of the bye, they’re wasting that bump this year on the one-win Giants. 8. Seahawks (6-3; No. 8): Russell Wilson‘s one-man band can only play so many tunes. 9. Panthers (7-3; No. 9): After the first five minutes of any Panthers game, it’s obvious whether they’ll win or lose. 10. Jaguars (6-3; No. 12): This Jekyll-and-Hyde team has been more Jekyll in recent weeks. Or is it Hyde? 11. Lions (5-4; No. 15): The NFC North crown is still largely riding on a Thanksgiving visit from the Vikings. 12. Falcons (5-4; No. 16): The perfect cure for a Super Bowl hangover is Adrian Claybornplaying like Derrick Thomas, for more than one game. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/11/14/week-10-power-rankings-6/ boooo at the negativity, booooo!

vike daddy Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 if we had beat Detroit we would have the same record as the Eagles - 8-1 W/L, 3-0 Div, 6-0 Conf. who would be on top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
