Jimmy G's 1st loss

Everybody is worried about the Vikings in week 1. I am not so sure. Remember while their defense is the same (and tough) Cousins is in a new system and has never played particularly well in big games. New system, new team and playing against the old coach who knows him better than anyone in the league. While we bring in a QB with hottest streak in the NFL who shines in the biggest moments and now has a full offseason under his belt. We might shock everybody in Minnesota week 1 and kick the hype train into full gear.

Won't be a shock to me. I fully expect us to win.

To be fair Jimmy hasn't shown he shines in the biggest moments and the team will have a lot of pressure on it this season but I'm confident he'll live up to his contract.

On paper I think unfortunately we're very much overmatched.

I think Cousins is a huge step up from Keenum and they're getting Dalvin Cook back with Diggs and Thielen and Rudolph. That's a dangerous offense which can hurt you in many different ways. I'm fully expecting them to go HEAVY on OL in this draft to try and keep Cousins from rush decisions.

The best way we'll have to beat them is getting a pass rush going and trying to bait Cousins into some bad decisions and getting turnovers. Unfortunately right now it's hard to know if our pass rush will be there...hopefully the draft will address that(Landry plz) and Foster being a dumbass makes it harder for us to stop the run at the same time. That's why Vikings will be so tough to stop as they can hurt you on the ground or through the air.

I think on offense we can get things going. It's on the road so it won't be as easy obviously but if we could do what we did to the Jags last year hopefully with an improved OL, more comfort in the offense and with better receivers we can score on their defense.

On paper it's a loss but things change and there are lots of unknowns. Our defense is my biggest concern right now but I think with lots of time to prep for them we can come in with a really good game plan and it will just be a matter of executing on both sides of the ball.

I know a very annoying Vikings fan so beating them week 1 at their house would make me very happy.

He seemed cool as ice in that final drive against the Titans. Down 1 with a minute left against a playoff team. Took him exactly 3 passes to get into FG range. 2 of those passes to rookies. Pretty much called what he was going to do before the plays too. At some point were going to have to see how Jimmy responds to a loss and that's when we will start to have a complete picture of him. I would say the pressure is a bit overated. We're essentially going into year 2 of a 6 year plan.

I stopped reading right there. I couldn't disagree more. IMO he's shown the opposite and he does shine. When the game is on the line he shines, and there is no bigger moment.

the last 5 games he had to shine as the whole NFL was watching to see how he will do... and thats why we received 5 Prime time games

well lets see ....Game winning drive in his first start against the bears on the road. Game winning drive against the titans in his home debut. Impressive opening drive touchdown against arguably the leagues best defense in Jacksonville ...... no I guess he doesn't shine in big moments.

His 1st loss will be the day he gets married.

Biggest moments to me would be doing that vs a team like Minnesota. I'm certainly not trashing our lord and savior Jimmy Gesus but I'm certainly hoping to see him shine in playoffs soon.

I love what he did against Tennessee and watching that video/drive gave me a hardon but to me that wasn't quite the "biggest moment" type situation. If that was enough for you then great, it was an awesome moment and I'm not saying he'll wilt in higher pressure moments but personally I'd like to see him do it more and in do or die games.

Never

Unfortunately, I think it's week one vs the vikes

You speak blasphemy.

I think the Vikes were a bit overrated last year . They should've lost to the Saints. Got exposed by the Eagles. I think Kyle and Jimmy will slice and dice the Vikes defense.
