Can the Vikings upset the 49ers?

[Marvin49]

Well...

...any team can beat any other NFL team on any given sunday.

Having said that...these are the issues that concern me RE Vikings game.

1) Trent Likely doesn't play. That's a concern vs Hunter and a D that Blitzes more than any other team.
2) When the Giants set a record for blitz % in a game, the 49ers countered with quick hitters to guys in space. Deebo went off. Deebo isn't playing either. Then again, Aiyuk didn't play in that game.
3) CMC isn't 100% either.

So yeah...fair to say I'm concerned.

I predict Plunger Rape by the Niners.

 

[Bear-Hawk]

It's tough to say. Cleveland has one of the better defenses of the last decade. So if the Vikings can also contain Purdy, then the Niners have a glaring issue.

I still can’t believe the Colts score 38 points on the Browns defense.

I still can’t believe the Colts score 38 points on the Browns defense.

They had a letdown after winning the Superbowl the previous week.

 

[AROS]

I bloody hope so.

It's pretty crazy. The Browns D/ST did have four takeaways, a TD, and got pressure on over 50% of the snaps. So Minshew must have played a helluva game.

Without Jefferson, I don’t think the Vikes will score much on the 49ers defense. 49ers have other weapons besides McCaffrey. Anything is possible, but 9ers should win.

Blocked fg too

 

[AROS]

If Deebo and CMC don't play, the Vikings have a chance.

Purdy is legit and easily the best QB in the conference. One subpar game against the league's #1 ranked defense, who had set the all-time record for least yards given up through six weeks, doesn't cancel out what he did in the 10+ games prior. Hell, if their kicker hadn't missed at the end of regulation, they would have won anyway.

Well hello Brock's mom. Nice of you to join us.

Of course, on any given sunday.

That's true, but this game is on Monday. 49ers will have it sewn up by the third quarter. Cousins will be under siege all night.

 

[RolandDeschain]

Great run to start the game. GO VIKINGS (for tonight).

 

[RolandDeschain]

And then a couple plays later........

 

[Threedee]

Gunslinger Cousins effective on the second drive.

 

[hgwellz12]

what's the Vikings thing?... SKOL!!? Yeah, SKOLLLLLL!!

 

[LastRideOut]

The Niner defense not looking so hot tonight...

 

[BigBill1945]

Vikings are looking really good and are ready to score again. Go Vikes!
