  5. Only thing the Vikings should concern themselves with is the sandlot that is Soldier Field. Notoriously the worst playing surface in the NFL. But they still have had success there. Won the last two times that they've played there in fact.

  9. I don't understand the lack of love for Brandon Powell. When exactly has he failed to come through? All I have seen from him is one clutch catch after another. He hasn't had a rash of drops, he appears to be a good endzone target, he's great on scooping up low passes, and I've seen him catch sideline shots. He knows what he's doing out there, and his hands are dead reliable. Why so few targets this season?

  11. As for playoff and divisional %

    Sounds right
    Now as we continue to win, keep pace, if Lions should falter, say against a team they should beat Indianapolis, than those division numbers go up , as both teams have their destiny in their hands…Vikings needing game 18 to win division

    Or keep winning and watch Bills vs Lions for that key loss
    Think Lions will still win division if they win all their games through week 17……as they will have the tiebreakers if we end up tied

    That's where I would love Indianapolis for the upset, because that makes us tied on similiar opponents tiebreakers( ie we lost to rams they beat rams)

  13. Parity is the new norm in the NFL , even bad teams can beat good teams

    Having said that this game is more about building to the next level for the Vikings, establishing the run game(multiple backs) Red Zone efficiency- good test here
    Both scoring + running the ball in
    Seeing OLine gel more

  15. When healthy Kelce was head n shoulders above all TE( looks like hes lost a gear this year)
    Kittle when healthy was a distant 2nd ( hes not healthy)
    Tj Hockenson when healthy was a clear 3rd best TE
    His speed and hands and his football IQ make him one of the best TEs when healthy

  17. Side note diffrence between knowledgeable people
    Lions & Vikings vs good teams, very little separation
    Lions & Vikings vs poor teams big difference ( do the research)
    Vikings numbers numbers are above their avg vs good teams
    The lions gaudy numbers take a big tumble

    Lions are padding their stats vs bad teams

    To me they are neck and neck level wise both have adv over each other in certain categories
    I will say its more important for the Vikings to get the division and hold home field adv, whereas Lions have a bit more leeway if they are a wildcard team( built for the pounding on the road)
    Having said that

  19. Have to bring this up
    Lions & Vikings are the 2 best teams in the NFC
    I know the media hype has eagles there as a #2 or maybe Packers
    The eagles have pummled terrible teams recently. They have also had one of easiest schedules in the NFC( SOS)
    Other than packers in a well fought game 1 – lots of holes for both those teams in that game
    And they lost to TB,AtL beat a good Was team that couldnt stick a nail in the Eagles when they had them down…..other than those 2 wins most of their wins have been vs bottom feeders
    Watch the next few games Rams,Bal , Pit, Was with a easy gm vs Car in there….watch them drop out of the divisional lead….
    Now Saqoun Barkley can lead them to victory in those tough games….he really is the only reason they are in a playoff hunt at all…….they have a deep team with many flaws but i doubt their stamina in the playoffs
