The thing that proved the difference was the mobility of Grandiose Flavor of the Week The Third.
Kevin Kolb ain't got it. He got sacked 17 times in 2 games. The Vikings D should sack either an injured Kolb or a mediocre John Skelton a good 5 times.
I think the Vikings play PISSED at home. I'd hate to be the Cardinals quarterback.
The Cardinals have one of the better defenses in the NFL. We had a hard time punching it in the endzone against the Redskins. I say we lose this one even though we are at home.

And on offense I think Jerome Simpson is pissed. Seems like he wants to get into the action and wasn't happy about not playing last week.
If we see a highly motivated Simpson and Harvin out there together, that could help the Vikings offense a lot.
We're at home for this game. We out rank the cardinals in every statistical category. Despite our loss to the 'Skins last week I still think we're a better team than most people give use credit for. This offense that we have is not flashy but it is efficient and does put points up. Not always touchdowns but 4 times out of 6 this year it has been enough points to win. Having gone to school in Georgia for college from 2008-2011 I saw 3 seasons of Falcon's football and this offense looks almost exactly like theirs did (I wonder why ). I still think that we have a chance at making the playoffs and making some noise. I think we win this game in bounce back style. Vikings destroy Cardinals in this one. Final score Vikings 27 Cardinals 3.
Kevin Kolb is out for at least a month. John "Who" Skelton is playing this week. Think he'll be running for 130 yards? He won't even pass for 130 yards.
All offenses start at the line and the Arizona Cardinals do not have one. 23 sacks, not hits and sacks, but 23 sacks in 3 games. Vikings if they play as average could get 4,5,6 or more sacks.
If Alfred Morris couldn't get the job done running and receiving against us I really doubt William Powell and LaRod Stevens-Howling beat us. We don't have to worry about Skelton running, either.
Their receiving corps is Larry Fitzgerald, an underperforming and drop-prone Andre Roberts and 5 tight ends and wide receivers I bet you couldn't name for 10 grand cash.
This is a home game and not a road game. This all lines up for a monster defensive bounce back performance/statement game.

This could be a dangerous game. Unless the Vikings can put a lot of pressure on the Cardinals' QB, and maybe force a couple of turnovers in the bargain. The Cardinals have been winning mostly on the strength of their defense, and if last week's Vikings offense shows up again this week, the Vikes will have their hands full.
