The subsequent questions are about latest Minnesota Vikings subject areas, answered by PurplePTSD. These days is the September 15th edition, addressed in a from-the-hip manner. If you have thoughts, remember to e mail them to DustinBakerNFL@gmail.com.
Also, remember to observe: These are viewpoint-based mostly responses. Some answers will be incorrect from time to time. But we’ll attempt to retain that to a minimum amount.
Q: Is not Kirk Cousins historically an Eagles killer?
A: Why, indeed.
Groups led by Cousins are 6-3 (.666) in opposition to the Eagles in his job, and he’s responsible for 21 landing passes, 6 interceptions, 306.2 passing yards for each game, and a 104.9 passer ranking in people 9 video games. In conditions of teams Cousins performs ideal from, the Eagles are in the Best 5.
Cousins performed the Eagles two times every year with Washington and then assisted the Vikings chip them off in 2018 and 2019. Minnesota has the right male for the position by means of “Eagles expertise.”
Q: Will Lewis Cine have his occupation debut in Philadelphia?
A: Certainly.
Cine told Chris Tomasson from the Pioneer Push on Thursday, “I’m true psyched. I’m stoked. I simply cannot wait to get ready and genuinely get started enjoying with the workforce. I seriously well prepared the entire summer time and in camp. To finally get to clearly show out, make my debut, is likely to be essential for me.”
That sure sounds like a guy who’s making his career debut.
Q: Will the Vikings be viewed as NFC frontrunners if they defeat the Eagles on Monday?
A: Of course, no make a difference the winner, that workforce will be categorised as a drivers-seat workforce for the NFC Championship.
Why? Nicely, look at the NFC’s 1- groups just after 7 days 1:
- Chicago Bears
- Minnesota Vikings
- New Orleans Saints
- New York Giants
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Seattle Seahawks
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Washington Commanders
Of class, some -1 teams will bounce back, but the memory of their struggles in Week 1 will nonetheless be clean. Appropriately, the Buccaneers — assuming they beat the Saints in 7 days 2 — furthermore the winner of Vikings-Saints exits 7 days 2 as contender substance.
Neither team’s time is “done” if they eliminate, but the winner will be whispered as Super Bowl nibblers.
