How u feeling about the Seahawk game?

Because of the forecasted wet conditions, I really think this is going to come down to turnovers, regardless of who plays better during the course of the game.
Good chance of fumblerooskis.

I think where they're most vulnerable is on the OL. Good at LT, average at LG, horrible at C and RG and average at RT. I saw an OL ranking earlier this week that had them 27th or 28th I wanna say (Vikings ranked 10th btw). They're a middle of the pack passing offense, middle of the pack rushing offense, top 10 pass defense and bottom 10 rush defense. Leonard Williams will be a handful for Cam Robinson and Kenneth Walker is back from injury so he could hurt is without our best run defender at LB.

I know some of our most disappointing losses have come in Seattle, but I'm not a big believer in matchup history. This is a game the Vikings should win by a TD. But if the weather's crap, all bets are off. 86% chance of rain.

I think we should dominate them, the wet weather is a concern as we have not played in poor weather conditions all year, however this team is different, they seem to step up to the challenge and I think they will take care of business.

I think we win this one, but one important part will be getting into Metcalf's head. If he gets flustered early, he makes mistakes/penalties all game long.

Also, Geno gets twitchy when pressured hard all game long, so...yeah, our defense has to step up while our offense needs to continue finding the best versions of itself.

I think Leonard Williams is out with an ankle...

Even if he's not, I expect our pass rush to feast on Geno.

I ain't worried, we should win this game. We're better defensively, offense is more explosive, etc.

He was a full practice on Friday, so he's likely playing. But yes I agree that our pass rush against their OL is our biggest advantage.

I'm kind of expecting the Vikings to play their best road game of the year in Seattle.

If they win all 3 facets, it'll track .

We'll see?

If they crap the bed I'll be surprised.

Outdoors in bad weather
Opponent off an embarrassing loss, motivated
On the west coast we are 7-16 since 2000.
Haven't won in Seattle since 2006, 2-9 there all-time

Seems stacked against us.

I agree...West coast, Seattle, out doors etc..

But -- if this team is really going to go on a run and win #1 seed? They will win games like this.

It's not who you play but when you play them.

The Packers played them at exactly the right time with Geno getting hurt, Walker out and a couple players missing from their already terrible offensive line. With the exception of K'Von Wallace at safety, Seattle is getting all those players back this week.

We are definitely accustomed to losing these games, it's been almost automatic, however at some point a Viking team needs to change the script and this seems like the team that can do it.

Whew! What a game! Wow!!!

KOC just locked up coach of the year with that win.

Kevin O'Connell became 1st coach in Vikings history to have multiple 13-win seasons...he’s only been there 3 years.

And he doesn’t have an extension yet??

Told y'all not to worry.

BOOM

They finally won at Seattle. Nice job!

Kevin O’Connell said his headset went out before Sam Darnold’s scramble in the fourth quarter. The last thing Darnold heard before the headset died was the formation.

“I don’t particularly know what he called,” O’Connell said. “I just know that once I saw him have space and run…

Kevin O’Connell called it a “MVP performance” by the #Vikings’ sideline to get him a new battery pack on the drive. Said he thought the timing of the headset’s failure was “curious.” Sam Darnold ran to the sideline to get the call on the next play.

That fuck it just chuck it throw by Darnold after hurting his ankle was amazing. He wasn't even set it was all arm strength

Down 3 with 4 minutes to play, on the road, ..... And they freakin' did it.

Huge Win!

In the Cousins era that's just not a game this team wins. Straight up.

Stat of the day.......... Vikings committed 0 turnovers.

Big picture, in that game, with all the story lines and everything mattered , the Vikings didn't turn the ball over.

Poise is impressive, especially on the road.

I said it a week ago, Vikings playoffs started today. The door was open and they walked thru. Congrats to Vikes!

What’s the requirements for this Coach of The Year thing again? Asking for a friend

You know, there just might be something to this “competitive rebuild” thing…   :cool: :angel:
