the official **** the vikings thread

the Skins were the perfect counter to the Vikings. They saw how aggressive we play defensively, and kicked our asses with options and play action.

Offense was good, but couldn't get it done inside the 30. This is a Vikings win if they execute, instead Walsh was used 3 times early on after impressive drives.

Mental mistakes costed them this one.

I will say the Vikings have shocked me along with a lot of others but now its time to get back to reality. I predict they are lucky to win 3 out of the next 10 games but it was a hell of a run they were on. Fun to watch!!!

The Vikings looked too good, and quite frankly, had a lot of bad luck (no pun intended) in their wins even. They never once have been out of a game. It's a lot of mental **** in the Redskins game.

I think the write off is a bit premature.

ponder makes some really bad throws, the kind good quarterbacks don't make. The best he is ever going to get is alex smith level.

Fortunately he's functional, has arm strength and can effectively carry out a gameplan and put the team in a position to win.

Micheal Jenkins is showing up finally, and if Simpson can come back healthy and be a viable down field threat, all of a sudden those double coverages on rudolph and harvin will start opening up and we can start dominating the intermediate passing game again.

Next week is the cardinals who supposedly have the worst offensive line in football. If there was an opportunity to get the defense(and our team in general) back on track, its next week at home against the cards.

Could very well get a win since the starting qb for the cards is hurt.

Yeah, some of the throws Ponder made were absolutely awful. I noticed he was overthrowing it a lot.

And the Cards legitimately have one of the worst o-lines I've ever seen. If Allen doesn't get 3-4 sacks, it'll be a failure. Overall, we should at least get 6-7.

Skelton likes to go to Fitzgerald more than Kolb so they really gotta watch for that. Definitely a game we should win though.

Solid game outside of the run d and Ponder. Ponder looked good at the start of the season, but good god has he looked bad lately.

Bloozcrooz · 10-21-2012, 09:01 PM

The vikings continue to suprise me with their play.

He only had 17 attempts. 55 yards passing(4 in the second half) is bewildering. He used to get the ball out timely, he's just holding it now. I still think he could have had a better game given more attempts but AP was moving the chains on his own.

Harrison Smith is the real deal though.

It was cool seeing AP lined up as a WR. And even if he isn't doing anything, it's reassuring to see Stephen Burton and Carlson are at least getting snaps now.

I wonder how we will match up against Tampa Bay. We usually struggle with atheltic qb's
