Game 11: Pack at Vikings - Noon - Fox

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:17 am

Kevin Burkhardt/Greg Olsen on the call.

Pack favored by 1.

This will be a tough one.

Go Pack

I think it'll be interesting to see if they can force Kirk into some turnovers. He's only thrown 2 picks this season so far.

I'll do my part - usually, things go the opposite of what I think they will. I do believe the Vikes win today. Cook runs well, Jefferson and Thielen do their thing, and Cousins has a prime Godgers day. Aaron struggles with accuracy and the Vikes key on Dillon, stymying the ground game.

As I said, usually things go opposite of what I think....., so let's hope that trend continues.

This is funny because I came here to say, let's see what a featured back AJ Dillon looks like, but last time I thought he was going to have a big game he had two fumbles and played like crap.

I strangely feel like we will win this one comfortably, but I don't have a good reason to think that way. Offense has been rough, tough road game, Cook typically carves us up, can't trust our ST, but I like our changes to win by 10 or more.

Gary and Lazard are out

Big loss in Gary.

We may actually need the offense to not look mediocre today.

Not surprising, but yuck all the same.

Gary being out definitely puts a crimp in the pass rush. Still, I'd rather they let him heal up for late and post-season.

Lazard being out doesn't help either, as much for the loss of his downfield blocking skill as his pass catching.

Another issue to watch out for as well, the injuries just won't stop.

Is the nature of that toe injury such that he may have a hard time planting for throws (and dodging would-be tacklers)?

Well it does say he couldn't practice a whole lot because of it so my guess would be yes but we also know almost nothing about it so... :dontknow:

For some reason I had it in my mind this was a 3:30 game. Now I'm psyched.

Minny gives up 130 rushing yards per game. Run all over them with Dillon.

Winning the toss merits the Viking horn? Man, do I hate Minnesota.

And that looked like an easy passing interference call a few plays before as well.

Every season there's 4 or 5 games where Kirk Cousins looks like an all-pro, in the other 12 games he looks like Kirk Cousins. Hopefully we get Kirk Cousins today lol.

How do you let that guy get that open?

TroyD92 · Post #20 » by **TroyD92** » Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:12 pm

Going to need to get home on the blitz without much of a pass rush
