SemperFeist Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 This game has me feeling uneasy. Breaking each team down, I feel very confident that the Vikings are the better team and should win. However, how often does any team win 6 road games in a row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I think that we should beat the Panthers. The only thing that I believe that could derail the Vikings now is a lack of focus brought on by the success that team has been having. We have seen Zimmer coached teams lose their focus in past years for a game or two during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozizaki Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It takes some high level QB play to beat this defense, and I don't think Cam is capable of that. I don't think our offense is going to put up an incredible number of points. Panthers keep it close for awhile and then Cam turns it over and let's us put it away.

It's inconvenient sometimes, and the rest of my family thinks I'm crazy, but I love Minnesota. I'd never live anywhere else. I'd prefer to be back there, but I'm not sure it'll ever happen, although there is a good possibility that we might eventually get a cabin up on the North Shore.

vike daddy Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Panthers left tackle Matt Kalil has had an up-and-down first season with the Panthers, after signing a five-year, $55 million contract this offseason. And while the Vikings were willing to let him go for a reason, Kalil cited the hip problems which hampered him in past years for any issues he used to have. So he contends that his former college and Vikings teammate Everson Griffen might remember him, but a different version. Kalil: “I’ve played against him a lot, but a lot of those practices I wasn’t 100 percent. I was injured. So this will be a little bit different from my point of view as far as the things that I can do. I’ll definitely get after it, and I’ll probably be a different guy than they’re used to the past few years.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/12/08/matt-kalil-im-a-different-guy-than-vikings-are-used-to-seeing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Last week Matt Kalil got called for holding and a personal foul for a face mask, on the same play, while still letting his quarterback get sacked. Yeah, he’s still the same Matt Kalil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It's been a helluva stretch of road games for the 10-2 Vikings, who won in Detroit on Thanksgiving, played in Atlanta last Sunday and now stare down a third straight game with a playoff atmosphere in Carolina. Playing in front of the home crowd should help the Panthers, though they'll find this Minnesota defense to be stouter than the Saints group they just saw. The Vikings are allowing a scant 17.0 points per game, tops in the NFC. Carolina must get traction on the ground against the Minnesota front -- and not solely from Cam Newton. Although Jonathan Stewart and Christian McCaffrey have pulled their numbers up lately, they're still only averaging 3.2 and 3.5 yards per carry, compared with Newton's 5.8. The Vikes' run defense is third in yards per rush allowed. Offensively, Minnesota QBCase Keenum has been every bit as effective as the defense. He is second to only Tom Brady in N3P (positive plays minus negative plays divided by qualifying snaps), because he's thrown for a ton of first downs (123) despite having far fewer snaps than most quarterbacks, and because he's suffered just five giveaways (five picks, no fumbles).

SemperFeist Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The Vikings need to dial up a lot of blitzes on that left side. Send Barr, Smith, Sendejo, Kendricks, Alexander, etc. I would not be shocked to get Kalil’s best game against Griffen. But Kalil has always struggled at dealing with blitzes on his side, and he usually always picks up the wrong guy, or gets caught between two guys and doesn’t pick anyone up. Make Kalil think, and he fails to react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEYPAUL! Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The Minnesota Vikings are undefeated when we have at least 300 yards of total offense. Only time we didn’t get over 300yards was game one Detroit and @ the Steelers. seems like if we score 10 or more or break 300 total offense we win. is Carolina capable of stopping us?

The Vikings are going to need to bring their A game to win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Center Pat Elflein (shoulder) has been a limited participant all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday. Fullback C.J. Ham (neck), defensive tackle Linval Joseph (knee), linebacker Eric Kendricks (hip) and safety Andrew Sendejo (shoulder) were all full participants in practice this week and are likely to play. Defensive tackle Shamar Stephen (shoulder) and cornerback Mackensie Alexander (chest) were first placed on the injury report on Thursday as limited participants. Both were full participants on Friday and are likely to play. http://www.vikings.com/news/article-1/Pat-Elflein-Questionable-David-Morgan--Mike-Remmers-Out-Against-Panthers-on-Sunday/8c56147a-5ad7-4248-82ff-8452e1e9452c?sf175750202=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
