Yfz84 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 @BAConrad Only the Panthers and Saints allowed less yards to tight ends then the Vikings did this season. The Vikings only allowed 3 TD's, which is less than everyone except for the Steelers. The 9.0 average per catch is the lowest in the league. Not sure where we are getting this idea that the Vikings linebackers are bad in coverage. They are very good against both tight ends and running backs. The only time I can really think of them struggling this season was last week against Kamera. I fully expect the Eagles defensive line to abuse the Vikings offensive flow. That said, the Vikings favorite type of plays to run are effective against man coverage. The Eagles love running man coverage. So I think there will be a certain level of success through the air on at least a couple drives. Since the Vikings have the best defense in the league, I'm confident a couple drives will be enough. My prediction 16-9 Vikings over the home team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty ridiculous thing to say lets not even try to act like the same wouldn't be true if someone were to go to a forum dedicated specifically to the Eagles. Both fan bases have good reasons to be confident, some fans will show that confidence on different levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice out here, but cocky in the Vikings forum. I'd say we are more confident than cocky. I think, on paper, the Vikings have an edge over the Eagles without Wentz. The equalizer being home field advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Why wouldn't the Viking fans be confident in this game? Other than the fact that it's the Vikings in the playoffs. Last I checked, the Eagles haven't had a whole lot of playoff success either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OL - Push Coaching - Vikings It's comments like these that make me think you guys are cocky or at best not that knowledgeable about the Eagles in addition to what I've seen on the Vikings forum and on social media from Vikings fans. The fact one would say the Vikings have better coaching and that its not a push is just pure blasphemy. Then, y'all say that RBs is just a push which is completely wrong. Take this article which uses a team of analysts that studies every snap and grades out players at their respective position. The Eagles third string RB is graded out as the 69th (nice) best RB in the league, meanwhile the Vikings first and second string RBs are ranked 65th (McKinnon) and 66th (Murray). Philadelphia's top 2 RBs are ranked 18th (Ajayi) and 22nd (Blount). That is a significant difference. Dalvin was rated 16th, but he isn't playing this weekend. Offensive line being a push is pretty ridiculous, cause even without our stud LT we still have a considerably better o-line. Eagles OL is ranked by position like this: Vaitai (OT) - 68th out of 74 Wiz (OG) - 27th out of 68 Kelce (C) - 1st out of 35 Brooks (OG) - 4th out of 68 Johnson (OT) - 7th out of 74 Vikings OL is ranked by position like this: Riley Reiff (OT) - 55th out of 74 Jeremiah Sirles (OG) - 46th out of 68 Pat Elflein (C) - 29th out of 35 Joe Berger (OG) - 18th out of 68 Mike Remmers (OT) - 35th out of 74 These rankings are according to PFF. I could go on about the whole underrating the Eagles CBs and LBs, but I'll end it here. I have NO PROBLEM with Vikings fans being confident in their chances to win this weekend, but when you make blatantly obtuse statements that show you don't know what you are talking about it makes me think you are either cocky or ignorant.

Uncle Buck Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 4 hours ago, TheRealMcCoy said: I think this could be a difference between people in different regions of the country. It's possibly fair to say that Vikings fans are "nicer" in your forum, but speak more confidently in our own forum. Personally, I call that being respectful of other people's feelings. This is more of a midwestern thing. In the northeastern part of the country, people do have the tendency to just speak exactly what's on their mind. I remember a number of years ago when I was working for a mortgage banking company, there was a lady from New York who worked for us. She was a nice person, but, being from New York, she had a tendency to say things that made some of our customers angry. I'm not talking about all the PC garbage we hear about these days either. It's just a New York/Northeastern kind of thing. If you really want to know, yes, I do think we have a better team. I do think we have a better chance of winning the game this week than the Eagles do. That's not to say that you have no chance, or that you will be totally outclassed. I don't think that. But as far as the total team, and yes, coaching too, I think we are better and that we should win this game. Maybe not by multiple touchdowns, but I do think we are the better team. That's my opinion. You have a right to disagree, and I won't even call you cocky, ignorant, or a blasphemer if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
