It won't be this easy against the 49ers, but you have to love the way the Vikings fly to the ball.

I do love that. Minnesota has two very good play callers in KOC and Flo. Not sure the Vikings have the horses in the trenches on each side of the ball to hang for 4 quarters, but that's why they play the games.

That's always a big question against SF, as they've drafted/coached a slew of good trench players on both sides of the ball for awhile, now. We can test that with a certain amount of youth/aggression, but we're about to see the quality of Flores' improving efforts against a top-tier team again.

I'm not as worried about the offense, minus Ingram/Bradbury; I'm always worried about those two. Bradford is more than seasoned enough and is obviously enjoying a better selection of weapons...!

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

I was hoping for another big step-up in the D this year!  Time will tell and the next 3 games will test them a bunch.

I hate to keep saying it, but Aaron Jones having a big game would help a lot against a team like the 49'ers.

About a tough a home opener as you could draw.

We need a win. Beat a playoff team would be a great start.
