The one thing I'll say this week about the Vikes game...

[PhillyB]

happy panther is right. this is a tough matchup, by no means an easy win (and by all accounts a great game to the casual observer who isn't pulling his fingernails out the whole game.)

honestly it has the potential to be an infuriating chicago-type game where they absolutely drain the clock on long drives with their ground game.

to win this we absolutely HAVE to light up the scoreboard in the first half.

Give him the Peppers treatment and make him disappear...or just let JStew flip his ass over or let him stiff arm allen into next week

peppers was nice enough to play against us largely as dedicated as he was playing for us. allen is different, hes one of the best conditioned athletes in the ENTIRE nfl. hes like a bull with his nuts roped up for 60 minutes.

im overall confident in gross but cam may be in trouble if we never do anything to chip allen back inside.

oddly enough peterson doesn't scare me, but the play action to peterson does scare me.

Im sure the gameplan will have something to protect that side for Cam. Its called JStew being a mutant

Minnesota plays great in the dome and sucks on the road. In their 3 losses they lost by 7, 5 and 29. They average 15 points a game on the road and give up 26. if this were in the dome i would be worried but at home we should win by ten or more.

Might be worth playing a jumbo/goalline type package with five DL and drop a safety when looking at runs. Let Ponder have one on one matchnups to throw to.

Can not let AP do what Forte and Turner did two us.

Maybe Johnson-McClain-Fields-Fua-Hardy

Anderson. Connor. Applewhite

Gamble. Munny

Godfrey

I agree that this game is no gimme. Though I don't know the final stat, at one point they had held the Packers to 1 for 7 on 3rd down conversions.

Ponder can make some plays as well. We shouldn't take this team lightly.

[panthers55]

AP averages well over 100 yards a game at home in the dome.

On the road in his three games he had 98 (San Diego), 80 (Kansas City) and 39 (Chicago).

Just like the team, he plays much better at home than he does on the road. Minnesota is like Arizona, a different team at home versus on the road.
