I don't expect much more than 20 points weekly, which is fine if the defense keeps teams under 20. We’ve seen that it is, we’ve scored 30+ multiple times this season. I don’t expect it to happen against the Panthers, but maybe one of the last 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it doesn't happen more often than not because of game plans. Once we get a healthy lead, we ice the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely to be up by 3 TD's and when you put it in cruise control that you suddenly burst out a couple more TD run's when the team knows what is coming.

Worm Guts Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We’ve had a couple games that were on the brink of being blowouts and our defense let up (Detroit and Washington). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 It should be a great game tomorrow. I'm hoping we can keep Cam Newton in check and that he will be seeing a lot of this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I hope we have Barr spying or rushing Cam most of the game. He is one of the few players in the lead with both the speed and size to neutralize him on the ground. The DEs are also going to need to be disciplined to hold the edges and keep him in the pocket.

Projected Inactives: Bower Brown Coley Johnson Morgan Remmers Sloter I wouldn't be shocked if they bring up Johnson either. I don't think the Panthers are going to try and throw the ball all over the place. As good as the defense has been, it still has had moments where the opposing team has been able to run on the. Johnson might be brought up to help with depth on the interior with Morgan being out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The Panthers have the most offensive drives of six minutes or more with 15. The Vikings are second with 12. Carolina is the least penalized team in the league with just 61. They also have surrendered the fewest penalty yards with 509. Panthers kicker Graham Gano has touchbacks on 52 of 62 kickoffs (85.2 percent), the best percentage in the league. https://scout.com/nfl/vikings/Article/Minnesota-Vikings-looking-for-a-franchise-first-since-1975-112018811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
