  Minnesota is one of the big boys

  I think my Vikes use last nights drubbing as a wake up call.....I think it's been a little too easy on them recently, they've been on cruise control and got beat by a hungrier team in desert.
  
  Undefeated in the Dome and hopefully it stays that way.
  
  I hate to have to root against the Bennies, but GO VIKES!!!!

  All these injuries on D are going to finally hurt the Bengals IMO. If the Vikes are smart they will run AP/Chester about 40 times.
  
  I just hope the Bengals have a shot in the 4th and don't suffer any more serious injuries. The Chargers game in 2 weeks is the most important.
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  The Vikes need to get the ground game working for them again. They need to get violent in regards to running the football....They've got two great backs, tightends, fullbacks, a big offensive line and a dangerous passing game. There no reason why they shouldn't have a 100 yrd rusher every week.

  Dave, the Vikes also suffered from the injury bug last night. I think it will be a good game. Whichever team rushes the ball more effectively wins it, IMO.

  If the Bengals passing game is anything like the last few games Minnesota by 2 TDs. If Carson and Co. can get the passing game figured out then the Bengals can hang with Minnesota and may pull the upset. All depends on the passing game. I think Minnesota will put up something in the lower to mid-20s so Carson will have to make plays against the Minnesota secondary, which last night showed you can pass on them with Winfield out. He my play this weekend but won't be 100%.

  Secondary is below average and always has been. The Vikes do everything else so well, but they won't win a championship with that secondary. They're so close, but it'll slip by again.
  
  They won't have this kind of QB play again next year. AD is in his prime. Chester Taylor is getting older. Allen is playing at a level that can only go down. The Williams Wall is getting older. This is THE year that they have to win it and the secondary will let them down against teams like N.O. and Indy......

  The packers fan in my complex is convinced the Bengals will win the game at Minnesota. He knows the Vikes better than I do. I hope he is right.

  A week ago i would have said Vikes by 10, however, they definitely looked out of sync against the Cardinals...reminiscent of Favre's late season fade when he was with the Jets last year??
  Bengals by 3 if they can balance the run and passing games...and the defense needs their "A" game.
  However, beyond this game...regardless, the need to stay healthy is important as the Colts will enter the playoffs likely rested, ready, and mended.

  Your such a douche... kinda funny you haven't been trolling around much since the Steelers took their latest game on the chin again... One of the other 30 teams in the league will be able to beat the "not even decent" bungals dont worry. Your hayday will come then you can jump on their bandwagon.
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  Steelers blow. Enough said.

  Vikes looked like garbage on sunday night, and the bengals have looked like garbage the last 3 weeks.
  
  I think a lot of the Bengals problems have been a complete lack of motivation. Team has seemed flat... just going through the motions and doing enough to win. It will be interesting to see how they play when they really turn it on this Sunday. As was mentioned above, injuries are starting to mount.
• osu45804

  

  Peko is out minimum 2 weeks..... So the defense is w/o Peko, Odom, Roy Williams, ... Crocker is banged up. I hope they can play inspired defense this Sunday or maybe the Offense can finally wake up and score some points. We really miss Chris Henry who was our main deep threat

  Harvin OUT for Minnesota! Go Bengals
