Good Game gents-Your defense is no joke. Good luck the rest of the way.

Doubtful

Hopefully Hudson can go-we had TJ Carrie listed as out on a friday and he played that sunday apparently we can upgrade players prior to the game.

According to PFF, he has not been good (39.6 grade) entering week 9.

Vikings beat guys saying that Murray/Cooper expected to play but Hudson (listed as doubtful) is not. Joseph + Floyd vs. Webb/Bergstrom. I like it. Too bad Gabe Jackson (89.1) is well above average.


I don't know what PFF ...

Yeah I wasn't big on the signing but he has been solid all year

Don't they have JaMarcus Webb playing at Guard too? Sharrif and Linval (and Zimmer blitzes) could pose real problems if they are playing backups on the interior.[/quote][/quote]

Webb is RG but has been playing well. Del Rio just said Hudson has been getting better everyday and could play on Sunday ...

Yeah not looking good but he could still play

Don't go off the Jets game. Some people may laugh at this, but our defense, including our DBs, is better. "What?" you say. "Better than Revis and Cromartie?" Well, yes ... when you look at all things defensive backs need to do. Every Vikings DB who takes the field, starter or reserve, can tackle ...

Murray's good too. Does it look as if he's going to play this week?[/quote]

Murray should play[/quote]

Thanks. That's good news for you, not so good for us. [/quote]

Hopefully

Murray should play

They have to get to Carr early and often. The Raiders have a good offensive line so this will be a test for our front 7. Constant pressure will be needed otherwise I fear Cooper/Crabtree will find ways to get open. It would be nice to force Carr into a couple of interceptions. Need a big game out ...

Things are just slow around here this morning. I'm sure more people will chime in between now and Sunday.

Meanwhile, :welcome to the board.

You obviously have a point about the way the strengths and weaknesses of these two teams match up. I'm not sure which weakness will make more plays. I've ...

One thing that really concerns me about this game is if the Vikings get behind early on and feel the need to come out passing. I think it's important that the Vikings don't face Carr and the Raiders offense in any kind of shootout. That could be disastrous for the Vikings passing game.

OTOH, I'm ...

Well it seems no one wants to talk about the game

Hello Vikes Fans,

Raider fan here, been lurking all week awaiting account activation. I don't normally talk smalk, I just come to talk football. (I come in peace :D )

Now my thoughts on the game.

The Vikes D has been good, and the O has been so-so

The Raiders O has been good (7th) and the D has ...
