We'll see....

Zimm, Edwards and the players may surprise. I'm starting to get a feeling they might. Nobody gives em a chance.

That said, I fear we're down 17/0 quickly and that would change everything.

I could see it happening.

No one would be upset if they lose this week.
They could win.

Then not even show up against 9rs, after everyone gets exited again!!

We match up really well against their defense. They struggle big against wide zone teams and that's what we are. Unfortunately, our defense, banged up as it is, is going to struggle big against their offense. It's going to be a shootout.

Lets hope not. In 2 seasons Kirk has not been able to outscore/win against a team that scored 31 or more points.

Dude, that's a bizarre-o-world stat! I'd love to know how many Hall of Fame QBs in NFL history have a winning record when the opponent has scored more than 31 points.

People need to be more concerned about the defense. 5 yards up the middle on first down over and over will result in too many 3rd and short situations. Vikings live on third and long and die on third and short.
Brees mostly dinks and dunks and the Vikings let receivers catch the ball in front of them and try to make the tackle.
That crap won't work against the Saints.
Cousins and the offensive line could be the problem, but it's more likely going to be the defense; or all of the above.
Green Bay isn't as good as the Saints. The Vikings are going to need a little luck and perhaps another miracle.
It would feel a superbowl win to beat the Saints on the last play of the game again.
That's what I want to see.

Brady was 0-0 2019
2-1 in such games in 2018
1-0 in 2017
Just for starters

I'm so glad we chose pure talent over team chemistry.
That last picture is worth a thousand words in summing up what was working.
How's that pure talent thingy working now?
Kirk will piss down his leg Sunday. I wish I was wrong but can't see this ending any other way.
