What to expect if Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes shadows Saints WR Michael Thomas

Love for Brees to get Snead the ball early and involve him. Let Minn adjust to that.
I'm completely over Coleman and his ball-handling. At some point you learn, adjust, etc to put the ball away.

I hope that SP doesn't abandon the ground game if the Vikings are able to limit it.

Then Drew will throw to someone else.

Michael Thomas is Superman. You can't stop him.

Thomas needs to smoke Rhodes to break this game open and for him to get the recognition he deserves...

Otherwise, he'll be another Alshon who pads stats and disappears in big games and at crutch time...

If Thomas and Brees can get it going early, it'll be an avalanche and we'll break this thing open big...

Thomas will get a few catches on slants and curl routes but Rhodes will largely shut him down. It’s imperative that someone else steps up. I just beg that we please, please, please don’t try to make Tommylee Lewis that guy. Have Taysom Hill run some routes if we have to lol.

That first game against the Vikes is getting weirder and weirder, the more I look back and the more I read articles like this about it. Did someone check the calendar, are we sure it really took place in 2017, and not some other year? It feels to me like the first Vikings game was in week 36 of the 2016 season, instead of the first week of this one. A lifetime ago.

If Taysom Hill scores a touchdown, there will be an earthquake here in northern Utah during the game. Everyone in Provo is hoping he'll eventually be Drew's replacement. If he caught a TD, they'd go nuts.

If Hill caught a crucial touchdown there'd be an earthquake in New Orleans as well...

Not to mention in Minneapolis as those fans will cry out in agony and claim cheat then as well...

Oh the schädənfreudə of the Vikings fans will be equally as good as the joy of a Saints Victory...

If the OL gives Drew at least 3 seconds to throw, we'll be fine.

Our defense made Bradford look like Manning in his prime. After I saw how our defense performed in that gamed I gave up on the season for about 3 hours after the game. Then I started thinking that maybe we could just average 50 points a game and we would be fine.
