Vikings may be without their two starting CBs Sunday (1 Viewer)

Mike Hughes is out for the season and Xavier Rhodes sprained his ankle yesterday and had to be carted off. Early diagnosis says Rhodes should be fine enough to NOT go on IR but logical wisdom would have one assume he's not going to play this week. Unless they shoot him up like crazy with an epidural.

Mike Thomas was getting the best of Rhodes last year in the playoffs last January anyway so it's not like Rhodes was this immovable object on defense for him. The Vikings are a good team but their defense isn't the same dominant force as last year.

This is one of those games where I get that gut feeling we are going to come out and show the world we are the force to be reckoned with in the NFC. Not just the media darling Rams.

Yes plz

Rhodes is overrated. He was aided by the best front 7 in football last year.

We've all been waiting for this game to get that nasty taste out of our mouths since January. Imagine how the players feel? I'm very confident we come in focused and come out with of Minny with a convincing win. Our defense will give up some points but I believe our pass rush will show up. Our offense is dropping 35+ on their head bet on it

The problem is we have one that also shouldn't be starting. Thielen or the other dude is going to flame him all game long. I expect pi or illegal contact calls opposite of ML. Hardee anyone?

 

[insidejob]

I'll definitely take two.

Didn't the Saints show the world they are a force to be reckoned with about 4 games in a row now?

 

[T.Sneden84]

on another note, I hope Marcus Williams lays a few remember me shots on Thielen.

 

[BooBirdSaint]

Shootout. Whoever Lattimore isn't on will have a huge game.

We need to put a lot of pressure on Cousins with our front 7. He is playing great football and our defensive secondary will have their hands full with those receivers.

 

[KingNene]

That would be great for us.

Oh you are preaching to the choir but I meant in terms of national media crowning the Rams as the guarantee for the NFC representative in the Super Bowl and the Saints still being a "Oh yeah, can't forget about those guys either."

Anndddd the coach is suspended. Goodwill printed out the entire history of this forum and said he had 50,000 pages of evidence.
