gopherwrestler Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 To be fair with the stat above GB game allowed 113 and 48 of them Came from Brett Huntley's 24 yard scramble. Total of 48 yards. Coldest game of the year where both teams pretty much just stuck to the run Car game 216 allowed and we let up 2 long runs, on the road. Cam had a 62 yard run, and Stewart had a 60 yard run on the opening drive. Falcons game we did struggle tho, 102. Also on the road, and Falcons seemed to go away from it with Freeman after playing from behind. Most yards allowed at home was against the Lions: 97 Saints: 60 Bucs: 26 Packers: 72 Ravens: 64 Rams: 45 Bengals: 46 Bears: 30 Our away games we did end up struggling more against the run. Actually it was really any outdoor games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm already sick of the "stat talk" for this game. I could care less what happened in week 1 or what New Orleans did or didn't do against Carolina last week or what the Vikings did against the Packers in a -10 degree game. It's week 19. It's going to be 70 degrees and purple inside U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings have been dominant in said conditions. That's all I care about.

And Carolina had two runs over 60 yards. An outstanding anomaly against this defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was really any outdoor games. just to add from a passing perspective, we didn't allow any 60 yard passes against us the entire season. we allowed two passes over 50 yards, the longest of which was a 52 yard completion to tommylee lewis on the saints (plus a DPI call on the play). brees completed passes of 52, 27 and 24 yards against us so they did a good job of attacking us deep.

vikingsrule Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Waynes got picked on in the first game. He's playing much better now than week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may need 27 points out of the offense though. I'd be surprised if they scored that many points on our defense at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees, as experienced as he is, will be playing against our defense. the #1 unit in the NFL. Yea, and this is why we lose. If Vikings shut down our run game, Brees won't be able to pick apart their defense like he did Carolina's. Not because it's on the road, but because it's the number 1 defense in the league. We're gonna have to run the ball a lot better to have a chance. Meanwhile, our defense will most likely give up at least 20 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it is just a fun conversation starter to keep things going! Fun to look at how we did this year. It's the playoffs, regular season stats don't matter one bit.

The defense is much stronger at home, definitely seems like they feed off the crowds energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sick of the "experts" on Twitter trying to prognosticate the game based off stats from 18 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
