Vikings @ Chargers Pregame Discussion (wk 10)

[richpjr]

Chargers open as a 3 point favorite.

Discuss.

Vikings are going to run the ball
Vikings have good WRs in Thielen and Jefferson

But seen enough Vikings games this year that Zimmer will coach the game so the opponent comes back. The Vikings are Charger-esque this year - thats not a good thing

Chargers need to figure out the run defense though -- they have to do something - bring in Geno Atkins or Kawann Short for a week - anything. Because teams are moving the chains too easily. Granted, Cousins cannot run like Hurts did.

But you can fix those problems feeling better after a W than an L thats for sure!

Everybody should against us, if they dont its a bad game plan.

Cousins having his best season ever but they no longer have the horses on defense.
If Samuel Jr is back, (if not it's a pick em like today)
Chargers 31
Vikings 27

In 2007, the Vikings ran for a record 378 yards rushing against us. Ironically as I'm watching this game on tv right now, it was Adrian Peterson who ran for 296 of those yards.


So you can see my concern going in.

Good team that has problems like us. Cant close games. We know what thats like but we have won most those this year.

Could just be a shootout. We can win this.

i remember that too..... brutal game......

there are many embarrassing NFL records that were achieved against chargers:

Stephon Paige 300+ receiving yards....

a bengals RB ran for close to 300 against chargers.....

etc.....

The Vikings are currently the 11th ranked rushing offense in the league. So worse than the Eagles. That’s a little more reassuring. Now we need our CBS back.

Wasn’t that also the game Cromartie had the longest play in NFL history?

Luckily the Vikings don’t have an AP this time.

Cook will be a problem for us.
