Klomp Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 There are very few offenses that really concern me going against our defense. Washington isn't one of them. Then we go to the other side of the ball, where I think it's a push at worst. The X-factor for me is playing on the road and on that field. If it were at home I'd predict a comfortable win, but not as confident going on the road yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthCountryEvo Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Also, don't forget: we just got Mack who was with the 'skins prior to coming here. The insider knowledge surely could have played a role in our game planning over the bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I think our x factors this game will be the linebackers. I kind of already said this, but we can't afford to let their tight ends and backs to get loose. that's the strength of their offense. I'm not overly worried about the receivers though, and we should be able to get pressure on Cousins. they're a tough team, but so are we. given the state of the NFC right now, this game might be a must win.

Considering each of the next 5 games are all against teams they could potentially be vying for seeding or playoffs against, it's almost imperative that they go at least 3-2, preferably 4-1 against them.

vikingsrule Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 With how the schedule appears, this is beginning to look like a must win game if a first round bye is the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with Detroit's schedule the rest of the season. 7-2 would be huge and 8-2 isn't out of the question. I'd feel comfortable winning the division at 8-2.

We Cannot afford to lose to Detroit. That game is the season. Okay. Getting ahead of myself. Need to beat Washington first. Wonder if Jordan Reed plays..

ArcticNorseman Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Washington always seems to have some spell cast over the Vikes when they play there . . . something like the announcer says "Aaaaaand, the Vikes have never given up a run over 50-yards this season . . ." Boom! there goes a Redskins runner for a 60-yard TD. Now, on the good side of things, the defense being healthy, with the D-line rotating and wreaking . . . I hope its a bad day for Cousins. Stopping the 2 TE sets and running game is a huge factor, and that's where little known Gedeon can have his break-out game. I fully expect Barr and Kendricks to rule the day. It'll be great to see the O-line play this one . . . on grass, pounding the rock. Washington allows about 110 yrds per game on the ground, so if the Vikes can get to that level of ground production, and not turn the ball over, they should be able to win this thing.

Nozizaki Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I believe Mike Zimmer coached teams are 0-3 off a bye week, and also winless after an extended break between games. Not feeling a win, either way, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also won coming off TNF last year. 1-2 off bye, 2-1 going from Thursday to Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
