sec101row23 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’m having a hard time figuring out how the Jets are going to stop Thielen, Diggs and Rudolph. Been giving up a ton of passing yards lately. Not sure the Jets can get into a track meet with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not real familiar with Jets besides rookie QB looking good to start season. Vikings have weapons on O especially Thielen and Diggs. If Cook is back from injury (hamstring) he adds a lot at RB though Murray is good. Our weakness on O is our line. Getting better but can be exposed. Our D is slowly getting back to form. Started out slow giving up several big plays in first 4 games. Griffin our best DE is out with mental issues and we just lost rookie CB Hughes with an ACL. Hoping for a great game with no injuries! What can we expect from the Jets? Thanks for the friendly chat. I think the Vikes win a close one.

I think they realize that they have the perfect QB and are going to utilize him to the fullest. Being realistic with the injuries the Jets are probably going to lose but they're going to put up points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Killa Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I just traded Le’Veon Bell for Diggs because Connor/Big Ben have bye weeks and I’m playing my match up for 1st place. I’m that confident that Diggs is toasting us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mphtrilogy Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 What’s the scoop with Dalvin? Asking for my fantasy team. Big test for Sammy and the Jets this week, I don’t think the Vikes will underestimate him, but the MinnD has not looked as sharp this season so you never know.

BroadwayRay Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Haven’t watched the Vikings play yet, but I’ve been reading Cousins hasn’t been very good under pressure, and that their pass protection is suspect. Jets could take advantage of this, but their pass rush has been hot and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingfan Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 MPHTrilogy, I’ve got Cook for fantasy as well. Only guessing that if he playes he’ll be splitting carries with Latavius Murray. I think they’ll slow play him until the Saints game a week from Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikingfan Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 BroadwayRay, spot on my friend. Cousins has fumbled A LOT when under pressure this year. He fumbled 2 times in first half against Bills giving them great field position both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingfan Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Patriot Killa, might be a smart move with the Diggs pickup. I’m guessing defenses will start tending a bit more to Thielen, justifiably, which will mean Diggsy should get more looks. Pick your poison with those two for defenses really. Best one two punch in Vikings history if you take out the Randy Moss years in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkus Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I’ve watched several of the vikes games. Best chance for jets to win is to get cousins to turn over the ball. As mentioned he is vulnerable to strip sacks and can throw picks in bunches. Jets secondary is banged up. I can easily see cousins throwing for over 350 yds and 3 tds. sheldon richardson has been invisible in the games I’ve watched. What do u think about him Vikingsfan?

Barry McCockinner Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Most of the things I would have said have already been touched on. Personally I expect the Vikings to put up a lot of points on us and win fairly easily but if we can keep up our recent wave of forcing turnovers it could be a wild card. It's possible the Jets players will be really amped up over the whole Cousins snub situation - I don't know if Bowles likes to use stuff like that as motivation but it certainly would be a good time to try and get the team amped up over being disrespected. Last thing I haven't seen mentioned is that our normal DC hasn't been calling plays the past 2 weeks due to health issues. He's been cleared to come back, but I think a lot of fans would prefer Bowles continue to call the D. Who knows how that scenario will play out. How have the Vikings been playing on the road? What can we expect from their pass defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drafted him on my fantasy team with Diggs on the board and wrestled with which one to take as they were ranked close. Man, did I ever make the right choice! What he's doing right now with 6 consecutive 100-yard games is ridiculous. Having said that, You cannot even remotely compare them to Moss/Carter. That pair was possibly the greatest to ever play side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingfan Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 NYCDan, I certainly agree regarding Moss/Carter. That’s why I took out anyone playing with Moss. That man playing with anyone could be legitimately looked at as a top 1/2 Vikings punch. I think the big play ability of either Diggs or Thielen is better than Carter ever was. Carter was an awesome possession receiver! HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikingfan Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Barry McCockinner, Vikes have played lights out offensively on the road so far. Pass defense has been getting better but not near where we were at last year. Regarding Moss/Carter: I don’t disagree at all with this combo. My only point was this combo, in my opinion, was heavy Moss. The Diggs/Thielen combo is very equal in my opinion. Having said this, I’m certainly not calling them HOF as of yet by any stretch.

JetsMetsDevilsPA Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Welcome VikingFan…. I think your pretty safe here unless you are a patriots fan or kiss bill belichick's ring like Clemenza did to Michael Corleone! Otherwise you might be swimming with the fishes like Luca Brasi! I do hope we have a good game though. I have a feeling the game will be tight but Darnold will play the best game of his early career and we take the game. Good Luck.
