Who would be afraid of that abortion of a team? We can't lay an egg against Carolina and expect God to save us again.
While i certainly agree it was bad, the fact is it was one of the top four coldest games ever. Let that sink in before we pass immediate judgement. Secondly, the Vikings defense has heard all week about we were going to cram it down their throats, and they literally played the game of their lives. That was the best performance you will ever see from the league's fifth best scoring defense. That's a big obstacle. Huge... Think back to like super bowl forty eight for us, stars aligning, all that. They should have just murdered us.
But we got one Russell Wilson.
And they got teddy Bridgewater.
We own the series against Carolina, and it took a remarkable comeback for them to win even one.
They're going to be rusty. The bye week is not always a blessing.
Have we ever lost in Charlotte?
Carolina is scared. They may not say it, or act it, but come kick off time they're going to be saying, 'damn you Blair Walsh.'
Can you imagine winning fifteen games and getting bumped in the divisional?. Holy crap that would be unprecedented I'd bet.
