Minnesota Vikings @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers


MINNESOTA VIKINGS (5-4)
 GAME #10 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (6-3)

@

Date: November 16, 2008 Location: Tampa, FL
Time: 12:00 P.M. CST Stadium: Raymond James Stadium
TV: FOX
DirecTV Ch. 708		 Know Thy Enemy: Buc 'Em
Gonzo's Prediction: Buccaneers 19, Vikings 17
Final Score: Buccaneers 19, Vikings 13

As mentioned earlier this week, the Vikings travel today to a place where they haven't won since 1997, facing a team with an outstanding defense and fighting to maintain at least a share of first place in the NFC North.  We'll also be keeping an eye on the other big divisional matchup today as the Packers host the Bears.  By the end of the day, there could be another three-way tie for the NFC North lead.  But, let's take a look at a couple of keys for the Beloved Purple this afternoon.

One thing that the Vikings will need to be able to do in order to be successful today is throw the ball effectively on first down.  The Bucs have an outstanding run defense, and we can't simply pound the ball into the line on every 1st and 10, as Brad Childress is wont to do.  The Vikings have to make an effort to keep the Bucs off-balance and not allow them to load up to stop the run.  Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor can be effective against this Tampa Bay defense, but not if the Bucs are allowed to pile 8 and 9 men in the box on a regular basis.  This goes hand-in-hand with taking care of the football.  Gus Frerotte has thrown 11 interceptions in his 7 starts this year, but 8 of those 11 have come in the last 3 games (4 @ Chicago, 1 vs. Houston, and 3 vs. Green Bay).  That really, really has to come to an end, and that's a tough road to hoe against this Buccaneer defense.

The Vikings also have to contain Buccaneers' quarterback Jeff Garcia.  Garcia is just the kind of quarterback that the Vikings famously have trouble with. . .he doesn't necessarily have the strongest arm in the league, but he is very accurate, and has a great deal of mobility.  Keeping the Tampa rushing offense bottled up doesn't terribly concern me, particularly with the injuries that all of their running backs are battling at this point.  So, with the rush offense being held down, the Vikings need to keep Tampa's passing game in check.  Are they capable of doing that?  Certainly.  Will they do that?  That remains to be seen.

Oh, and it would also be nice if the Vikings' special teams could maybe NOT suck out loud today.  For a little perspective on the Vikings' special teams. . .we're 9 games into the 2008 season, and the Beloved Purple have already tied the NFL record for most return TDs allowed in a season with 6.  That there. . .that's pretty pathetic.  It's not even the kick coverage so much. . .they've gotten markedly better since the Saints' game last month. . .but the punt coverage unit is beyond awful, and the Bucs have a good young return man in rooke Dexter Jackson, the Bucs second-round pick out of Appalachian State.

Kickoff is two short hours away.  By the end of the day, the Beloved Purple will either have a three-game winning streak and some serious momentum working in their favor. . .or they'll be back to being a .500 team.  I'm hoping for the former, but I can't pick it in good conscience.  I would love nothing more than to be wrong this week.

See you all in the comments section!

I’m thinking I’m actually rooting for GB. If the Bears win, it would mean a tie for first at best for the Vikings. If they lose, its a tie at worst.

Plus, I live in southern Wisconsin, and am around Bears related crap as well as Packers related crap. So I hate both teams equally. (I also dislike Chicago as a city, so that helps.)

by cheaptoy on Nov 16, 2008 12:25 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i agree with the draw….

you’ve already seen what happens to frerotte on 3rd and long. would you rather kick a 43 yarder or kick a 47 (or worse) yarder?

by yanksrule08 on Nov 16, 2008 12:22 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Point Taken

And it is certainly valid.

But then is your argument more against our QB or more in favor of a Coach who will “settle” for a FG simply because it’s 3rd and 10, essentially “giving up” on getting a first down and possibly a TD?

by DelawareBerserker on Nov 16, 2008 12:25 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i agree that childress uses the draw on 3rd and long way too much (like when we’re on our own side of the field), but when you’re borderline field goal position, i think its correct (for this team). the law of averages with this team…it hink we average more on the draw than on a pass, honestly.

Calling for that kind of pass would have been a terrible idea had it gone to AP, but to anyone else, its almost genius. It was obvious at least 9 or 10 guys on the defense were keying on Peterson.

Broncos just missed a field goal after a 58 yard kickoff return, still 7-6 Denver though.

A Falcons loss and a Vikings win would have them tied at 6-4 and I believe the Vikings would have the playoff tiebreaker.

I have to say

For the most part, our drives that have had the greatest amount of success this year have been our opening drives of each half, with little else in-between.

However this game has been significantly different. Our first drive was one of the worst I’ve seen this year (2 sacks, -12 yards), but our offense has marched at will against Tampa Bay’s defense for pretty much the balance of their drives. They’ve hit pay dirt once, and Longwell has drilled 2 Field Goals.

Our defense has been solid. They’ve stopped the run, created a strong pass-rush and if not for Garcia’s mobility outside of the pocket will have a tally of sacks to their credit.

The only stat of concern is Garcia’s completion percentage, but once again that is more a credit to the time Garcia has created for himself through his mobility than a lack of a pass rush or porous initial pass coverage.
