Vikings to kick off season at the NY Giants

[supafreak84]

Probably. Lawrence typically plays well against us. Still, the story of the game wasn't our offense. It was one of Kirk Cousins best games. He was 31 of 39 for 271 and 2 TDs and our OL gave up zero sacks. The story of the game was how _onatell gave up nearly 500 yards to Danny Dimes and the Giants offense. Danny owes at least half his $40M salary to our DC.

You mean ol' Easy Ed who was boasting before the game that he thinks we'll "like how his defense plays" against the Giants? Lol

Made a W/L schedule prediction but I just moved it to that thread. Anyways, um, beat the Gmen! Even for Darnold this seems like a winnable opener. Giants without Barkley and Waller are going to look a lot different.

Week 6 seems like a really early bye week but then it follows the stupid London game so guess its a good time. Three straight road games sort of sucks. At least they avoid a late season game in Green Bay.

3 straight road games followed by 3 at home. Got a similar weird stretch in '22.

I thought that depending on where it fell a natural spot for JJM's first start would be after the bye but throwing him in against the Lions seems like a bad idea.
