Hello From a Vikings Fan

Haven't followed the Vikings too much this season, but I'm surprised with what they've been able to do considering their options at QB.

Panthers have a lot to prove even without coming off their 2nd loss to the Saints. They haven't been all that great at home this year, really need to close the season strong. If we want to win this one, Rivera is going to have to quit acting like a pussy and trust his offense.

You know that ain't gonna happen.

Fwiw, I expect it to be a close low scoring game, with a final score in the neighborhood of 20-17, hopefully with us on top.

All I know is the guy in front of me on the waiver picked up Case Keenum and I’ve been stuck with a Zekeless Dak all year and I’ve been stuck in the fantasy fuging cellar.

"Mike Remmers? Oh Remmers! I was wrong! Will you forgive me?"

That is all. 

Remmers has taught me gratitude. $1hit can really get worse lol

The last 3 games we haven't had much pass rush.

Last time we played you guys, Cam got hit a lot but I was really surprised that your OC didn't adjust. We saw that your offense didn't have a lot of short passes in it and as a result of hot reads, Cam was stuck holding the ball instead of dumping it off. With the addition of the Stanford guy, I expect that has changed.

I expect us to win but I wouldn't beat a $2 hoggie on it. You guys can drop 40 on anyone on any Sunday.  

nope. shula doesn't adjust.

The think about Kalil is that he give you hope that he is getting better. Every offseason. He was an all rookie LT and just has gone down hill.

Hey Board,

Just wanted to say hello and best wishes. Hoping for a clean, safe game on Sunday. Not here to talk too much trash, just that I hope we beat you guys but I can see the game going either way. When Cam is on, he's unbeatable. Truthfully, Vikes have been solid but not dominant in most of our wins this season. If a Vikings fan guarantee that we win any game, you should ignore them. 

Anyone care to give me some insight into your team this season. How has the Dline responded to the suspension of one of its best? Is Luke and Davis playing up to snuff? Have you guys finally replace Norman (I know some of your young guys looked promising last season)? 

May have to go ahead and disagree with ya there.  Cam was definitely "on" against Saints this past Sunday and we still got smoked... had one of the most accurate passing days of last several years.  Dropped balls everywhere, defenders constantly in face, poo play calling, bad clock management, etc. etc. can very easily overcome a really good Cam Newton day.

from what i see, i think it's a confidence issue with matt kalil. he's making mental mistakes consistently and seems unsure on what to do in certain situations. lacks instinct and trust in his abilities, which he most certainly has.

some games, he'll be great and flash the good quality traits he most definitely has in him. others, he makes mental errors you'd hope were fixed by week 4 all over again. 

if he ever gets over his confidence issues and starts trusting he knows what to do without the flip-ups, he'd easily be a franchise LT for this team imo. sad to say he's not getting there so far.

Yet you've won 8 games

CJ hasn’t been one of our best for quite some time. But can’t ignore that the Saints ran at will all over us. Not sure the two equate or if that was going to happen with CJ in the rotation or not.

And yet our dline play suffered.

What I see in Kalil is poort foot speed. Coming out of college he was uber-athletic and struggled to keep weight on.  His rookie season looked like an All pro and someone destined to lock down the left side of our line for ages. He got injured his sophomore season and played hurt. Ever since then it has been one injury to his legs/knees after another and he continued to play through them. Last season was a hip injury and to me he was damaged goods after that. I think the injuries have taken a toll and he does a lot of reaching to overcompensate. That's why he gets beat by speed rushers and is susceptible to the power to spin move - move.

yeah you would think Ryan kalil would tell us not to waste money on his injury plagued bro, but yeah, clearly not
