Vikings Reaction
1. Are the Vikings back in contention?
Well if look at the Vikings schedule- at GB, Clev, at Det, Stl, Pit, at Bal, Chi
versus the
Bears- Car, atTB, GB, at Pit, Atl, at GB, at Min- I guess it's possible the Bears might only win 8 games, since the teams they have beat have been SF, NO, Det (2X), MN, and Bal. I can't name a good team in that group.
But the question is can the Vikings win 8 games. Let's say they beat Clev, and Chi at home and that gets them to 6 wins. GB next monday night is questionable, as they beat Atlanta in impressive fashion yesterday, and is playing better on Offense and Defense than the Vikings. At Detroit, The Vikings almost lost there last year with Daunte and Randy-this is also questionable. Pittsburgh at home- Yeah Right, if they have Big Ben. Stl- Is as skitzo a team as they come, so who knows. And at Bal-Well you never know when the Vikings take the road. The Vikings still have serious problems on Offense, to go with an inconsitent pass-rush on D. I would need to see a win next monday night to make me wonder. I'm seeing about 7 wins at this time. Say the Vikings win the division, do you see them winning a Road Playoff game at this point? Considering they needed 5 turnovers, and 3 D-ST touchdowns to beat the Giants.
2. Why are you concerned?
The O-line minus McKinnie is no good. Chris Liwenski, I used to think was solid, but he's been a stiff, and Goldberg, and Fowler seemed to take steps back yesterday. With McKinnie and Kleinsasser-You should be able to pass-block well enough. The receivers don't seem to be able to get open, this is another problem. They need to play more T-Will. On D, although I liked what Erasmus James has been giving, their pass-rush has been terribly inconsistent. If the Vikings can start winning on the line of scrimmage, we will see, what happens.
