tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 24, 2018 All of them except Cousins really, it was one game and maybe the biggest fluke in sports betting history. A 17 point favorite got pretty much shut out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted September 24, 2018 I have to agree....Minny probably took them lightly and were not as prepared, certainly emotionally. In addition, I think Buffalo had a come to Jesus moment this past week. The VDacis retirement may have brought them closer together. Plus, they do have great coaches in McDermott and LFrazier.

Took them very lightly. All week in practice the Vikes were Rocky from Rocky 3 when hes partying and meeting fans while training. Buffalo was Clubber Lang busting his ass and concentrating. Then the game happens and the Vikes assume the bills roll over and instead they destroy them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted September 24, 2018 The VDacis retirement may have brought them closer together. Â Maybe they just did the math after he retired and thought "Sh!t, at this rate we only have two years of football left before we can't even field a full team anymore."

NAn 39 Posted September 24, 2018 Back to topic, I agree with consensus. Vikes drinking their own kool aid a bit and fell in a trap game. Ended in a tie week before against rival Pack, but it even got to a tie b/c of a great comeback on their part in 4th. And let's not forget likely looking ahead to big match-up (possible playoff preview?) v Rams next week. Â I'm actually looking at Cousins as buy low-er after that game. Think this will actually help Cousins and Vikes as a team, to not take teams lightly rest of season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kent 228 Posted September 26, 2018 Start Cousins. Hes a loser but hes a great stat padder. Â I was not surprised he coughed up another loss and against Buffalo. When the Skins cut you thats a gigantic red flag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the Skins cut you thats a gigantic red flag. He wasn't cut...he was a Free Agent. Â One of the real reasons you start Cousins still is because Talib is out, and Peters may be out.

skydiverd 13 Posted September 26, 2018 I have Diggs, and will start him. I think last week was a fluke. Although I'm not a fan of the short week on the heels of that, but I know if I get cute and bench him, then he will get 120 and 2. Â but yes, I will be nervous.....

Â Â The Vikings Line couldn't hold up against Buffalo. Why would they hold up against the Rams. I do agree that if there is any production to be had, it will have the be in the passing game because I can't see the Vikings running the ball at all. With or Without Cook.

xxxdog 23 Posted September 27, 2018 Like Dalton, with solid O-L...but...Little worried about Green's injury, if so, Boyd will get heavy secondary interest and Ross still sucks....I still favor Cousins throwing a ton of passes, enough to please some fantasy owners...

NAn 39 Posted September 27, 2018 With Griffen's health issues concerning team and lots of shuffling on OL, still could be bit tough for Vikes v that DL. Â WTS, I would still start your Vikes in passing game (I'm starting Theilen), not so much RBs though as the above could call for some broken plays that turn into big plays and/or garbage time stats as they play catch up late.

blackhawks 5 Posted September 27, 2018 This game really scares me...I have cousins but am going to start Matt Ryan instead this week. Even with a banged up secondary the rams DL is what scares me the most...will he have the time to throw?

He will get you your stat pad points. Hes a bad fantasy QB when he plays bad teams. Cuz the stat padding is less likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
