Another road game, and unfortunately I'm again not feeling good about this. I'm afraid Shurmur takes it to his old boss. I so hope I'm wrong. I'd love to have both the Twins and Vikes kick a$$ in NY this weekend - SKOL!

Rookie QB against a zimmer's defense. A win for the the Giants. Viking defenses always turn rookie QB's into elite players... bummer

Cook runs wild / Cousins shuts up all critics...
34-17 VIKINGS !!!!!!!!

The Giants are improving with Danny Dimes but still mostly awful, especially on defense--not that this means much (See Bills/Vikes 2018). But I sorta see a game where we win easily enough, but not in a way yet that does much in the way of healing the team. It will be a start though.

What I don't like:
Vikings defense isn't particularly good against running QBs and Mr. Dimes will run. He's not particularly fast but he's going to frustrate us a bit.

Vikings secondary (especially Rhodes) doesn't seem to play well against smaller, quicker receivers. Giants get Tate back this week and Shepard is damn good.

What I like:
Giants two tackles are Nate Solder and Mike Remmers. Solder is OK, but Griffen should get his. And obvious Remmers is no match Danielle Hunter. Giants can stay in the game by Jones running and short passes to the quick receivers.

Giants defense is awful. Against the run and the pass. And now they're down two starting linebackers. If ever there were a get-healthy match up for the Vikings, it's this one. Cook and Cousins should both have nice games.

Guess it's time for another win by a rookie then! We make backups look like elite QB, see Chicago game. No guarantee that we don't same for Giants QB. Wouldn't bet more than I was willing to lose on this team. I'd like to believe in the purple but after 53 seasons, they gotta show than they have recently.

I've been hearing that nickname taking hold and merch being produced with it. How generic and unimaginative for him.

The Spielman/Zimmer regime is pretty consistent at beating crappy teams, whether home or away. The Giants are crappy for all the reasons Maroon pointed out. This will look a lot like the Falcons and Raiders games.

Vikes will win this one. 27 - 13
