Well, the Viking's are in Detroit and ready to rumble. The Lions looked awesome offensively last week, as did the Viking's defense. However, the Lion's defense was shaky, as was the Minnesota offense.
What a match-up this should be!
The Viking's should be able to contain the Lion's to three scores, and maybe produce one or two of their own. This leaves the game in the air for the Minnesota offense. The game is up in the air for them to win or lose. If they can muster up even two touchdowns they should be able to come back home with a win. What do we need for that to happen, though?
Firstly, we need Peterson to follow up the great performance he had last week. He had over 100 yards, (including that fumble recovery, which I think was the highlight of the night for him.) Also, we need someone else to step up and make some plays. My preference would be Williamson, but Wade or Rice would do nicely. This shouldn't be all that hard to do, as the Lion's gave up over 300 passing yards to the Raider's last week, proving that their secondary is in shambles.
Our defense should be able to contain the mighty Lion offense. Tatum Bell averaged 5.8 yards per carry last week, which may force the Viking's to put more people in the box, thus leaving us more vulnerable to the long ball. With both DT'sWilliams basically taking on the run game themselves, this leaves DE's Udezi and Edwards free to make Kitna's life miserable, (and to force outside runners back inside to the black hole. Greenway needs to inprove this week, and I hope he lost all of his jitters in week 1. He needs to live up to the hype that is real NFL football. Look for Sharper, Griffith, and Winfield to play their hearts out.
Once again, this game is up in the air. It's all up to the Viking's, as this game could go either way. If the offense shows up, we should bag Detroit often and early. If the offense struggles, so struggle the Vikings.
