Vikings Attempt To Go Into Bye On High Note

Minnesota Vikings at Carolina Panthers, Oct 30, 2011 12:00 PM CDT


MINNESOTA VIKINGS (1-6) GAME #8 CAROLINA PANTHERS (2-5)

@

Date: 30 October 2011
Location: Charlotte, NC
Time: 12:00 PM Central Stadium: Bank of America Stadium
TV: FOX
DirecTV Ch. 708
Know Thy Enemy: Cat Scratch Reader
Gonzo's Prediction: Vikings 23, Panthers 20
Final Score: Vikings 24, Panthers 21


It's Minnesota's last game before we go into that most evil of evils known as the bye week. The Vikings could use a victory here to give themselves something positive to go on during their week off. How do they do that, exactly? Well, here are the keys.

1) Harass Cam Newton - The Panthers' new quarterback has exceeded everybody's expectations this season, there's no doubt about it. That means that the Vikings are going to have to try to get pressure on him and knock him around a bit. Granted, for a guy Newton's size, that's easier said than done, but if the Vikings don't get Newton's uniform dirty, this afternoon is going to turn out to be a pretty long one for the Beloved Purple. Jared Allen faces a stiff test today in Panthers' tackle Jordan Gross, but Brian Robison, Kevin Williams, Everson Griffen and company are going to have to come up big in this one, too.

2) Run the football - The Panthers are 29th in the NFL against the run so far this season, and according to this article from Pro Football Focus, while their defensive ends have been solid this year, the interior of their defensive line has been pretty dreadful. Anthony Herrera is going to miss this one, with Joe Berger stepping into his spot. It will be up to Berger, the returning John Sullivan, and Steve Hutchinson to open things up inside for Adrian Peterson so that he can. . .well, continue being Adrian Peterson. After all, Newton and company can't score points while they're standing on the sidelines.

3) Keep winning the turnover battle - Despite their 1-6 record, the Vikings are actually +3 in the takeaway/giveaway department, while the Panthers are currently -5 for the year (although they were +3 in their win over the Washington Redskins last week). A team like the Vikings can't expect to be successful if they turn the ball over, and hopefully we will see rookie quarterback Christian Ponder improve on this aspect of his game from his performance last week. If the Vikings can keep the Panthers from getting extra possessions in this one, it will increase their chances of sneaking out of Charlotte with a victory.

Here's to another Vikings victory, continued development from our brand new quarterback, and a game that's fun for us Viking fans to watch. We haven't had a lot of those thus far.

SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!!

Vikings Inactives

LB Xavier Adibi
RB Lorenzo Booker
G Anthony Herrera
OT DeMarcus Love
DE D’Aundrae Reed
CB Antoine Winfield

The Vikings only need to have six inactives, as they only currently have 52 people on the roster, from everything I can find.

Panthers’ inactives when they pop up.

Stephen Burton, just called up from the practice squad this week after Bernard Berrian’s release, is “up” today for Minnesota. Wonder how they’ll try to work him in to the offense.

we in GA get this game on FOX,probably because of the Panthers being a divisional rival but hey,at least I won’t have to find a stream.

Fantasy question of my own

Need to start three of these four receivers (one for my flex spot)

Marques Colston vs St. Louis
Steve Smith vs Minnesota
Dwayne Bowe vs San Diego
Jeremy Maclin vs Dallas

I have Vick at QB, if that makes any difference. Right now I’m leaning towards the first three and leaving Maclin on the bench.

That’s what I’d do. Bowe’s been on fire, Smith usually is good for a few long catches, and Colston has been tearing it up.

What’s the deal with Winfield?

Same reason

why Burton might possibly handle the lion share of kick return duties.

Ponder didn’t even recognize the blitz. Such is the learning curve of a rookie.

Well Carolina's D has a game plan.

Charge the backfield. If it’s Peterson or Ponder back there… they don’t care.

Nice punt by Kluwe

And nice job by D’Imperio on the tackle.

Not to frighten anyone

But I’m seeing Asher Allen shadowing Steve Smith on every snap.

“Shadowing” in the loosest sense of the term, of course, as we just saw there.
