vikesfan89 Posted Monday at 05:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:34 PM It'll be interesting to see how they respond to a tough emotional win against another good team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaytrajik Posted Monday at 05:55 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:55 PM I'll be honest I don't know much about the Vikings except that y'all got Greenard and Cashman, both standouts for us last year. I expect the defense to give us fits, especially if we get stagnant in the run game like last night. 'm not sold on Darnold but we do have a tendency to let ho hum QBs look like world beaters against us. I can see Fairbairn winning this for us in a close one but it's a toss up really.

SotanKing Posted Monday at 06:02 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:02 PM How good is Texans DT group ? With Darrisaw, O'Neill combo, I am less worried about opposition edge group these days but rather more worried about DT due to Ingram, Bradbury...especially Ingram, he really is the only weakspot in pass blocking on current OLine starting group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a fun game. I'm going to it, and I have a good home record. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjackchris Posted Monday at 06:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:23 PM The offense has been a mixed bag, but I attribute that mostly to rust from not playing in the preseason. Our starting C missing was significant in Week 2 as we weren't able to run between the tackles like in Week 1. He's nursing a hammy, and I'm sure will be out again. Mixon is set to get a MRI soon on his ankle, and could be out. I think Slowik opens it up and lets CJ Stroud sling it this week. The defense is scary good, and that's missing 2 key contributors who are due back in a couple weeks. Good luck handling the SWARM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted Monday at 06:50 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:50 PM Head coach Kevin O’Connell gave an update on Jefferson’s condition during his Monday press conference and the word continues to be good about Jefferson’s chances of playing against the Texans in Week Three. O’Connell: “Justin did come in today feeling pretty good, which was a positive based upon the initial quad contusion that kinda happened on that run play. We’ll be day-to-day with Justin. We’ll keep you guys posted throughout the week on his workload and what it looks like for Sunday, but pretty positive in the early returns there.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/kevin-oconnell-justin-jefferson-came-in-feeling-pretty-good-monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, is that guy a weapon or what? What a performance against the Bears. If you're unfamiliar Vikings fans get extreme anxiety when we kick. Reichard has been solid for us thus far though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAtexansFAN_99 Posted Tuesday at 12:16 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:16 AM Have a healthy balance of nerves and optimism for this game. We've flashed on offense and defense, but we've yet to put together a complete game. Don't know much about your secondary, but it would be nice to get Tank Dell and Stefon Diggs going at some point soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking fans have a non healthy unbalance of dread, despair, lack of confidence, and lamenting about eras of football they didn't even experience. we have you right where we want you! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted yesterday at 12:36 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:36 PM Of all the games this season, this is the one I have the hardest time seeing a win. I think the Texans will represent the AFC in the Superbowl. That being said, they're not going to go 17-0 and they can afford to lose one to an NFC opponent. Let's make that happen! Skol!
