I'm Temped to do the same, and then just let it roll over game to game all season long! ( or until I get scared!!)I'm betting every ROD dollar I have rams beat the Vikings and you all know I never do that.

It won't matter them having tall WR's just like it didn't matter with us playing the Bears last year. Our front 7 on defense is going to pressure so much they wont be able to get the ball effectively to the WR's enough. I'm not worried about Dallas either, when we play Philly that will be our first tough opponent IMOI am more worried about week 2 vs Tampa..they have some big tall WR's there...and our secondary is questionable
It's very very simple. The Vikings offense is a lot like the Rams offense a few years back. Stack the box and stop AP ad you stop the Vikings, it's that simple. Our offense will topple their defense IMO.
p.s. You think our guys aren't hungry to pay AP back from embarrassing them a few years back? I see us pummeling them, maybe not in a blowout score but pummel them physically.
Yeah but look who was there on our roster. Shall I gif up Mr. Dahl taking the most horrible angles ever again? Apparently he skipper Geometry in school...We did that 2 years ago. I was there. He still got 200+.
Dahl is long gone. Those 10 yard runs have less chance of turning into 80 yard tds.

You guys are forgetting that this year we have Gregg Williams, not Tim Walton.
I doubt they will make many points, even with AP and C. Patterson.
My optimism with this game (improved D scheme) is also my concern. Williams like to takes risks on D. Cassel may not be headed to the HOF anytime soon but he surely can identify a DB left on an island or put of position on a blitz. The Vikings have guys who can make some plays.
If the D and secondary in particular have significant growing pains with the new D it will be tough.
Williams had the great advantage of usually playing from in front with New Orleans. He had an O that good enough that his D could give up big plays.
That said, I look forward to what he does with this talented group. I fully expect a better D than last year. I think expectations have gotten a bit bloated.
I will respectfully disagree with your opinion on our 'Expectation'. And I Firmly believe the Vikes are really going to regret letting Jared Allen go!My optimism with this game (improved D scheme) is also my concern. Williams like to takes risks on D.

Me too actually.I didn't read this far obviously. We think alike.
I still predict a win though.
