Week 5: Houston at Minnesota

[kobesgame]

With JJ Watt done for the season, the o-line catches a big break. But they still have Clowney, who seems to be coming into his own a bit this year. The secondary gets another big test with Hopkins and Fuller being quite a duo so far this season. Osweiler has thrown interceptions in every game so far, so hopefully the secondary can take advantage of his bad decisions.

Vikings are early 6-point favorites.

I like our chances

Oswelier doesn't scare me much

I like the match-up. Once again feeling pretty good about this one.

This is the type of game where the Vikes used to shit the bed. Zimmer needs to keep the team loose and focused.

Last week and this week are sort of trap games. Last week was coming off the big road win. This week the team knows they are heading into the bye week after.

Plus it's a short week since we played Monday. I'm nervous...if Zimmer can keep us focused, we'll be on top. If we lose focus, get sloppy, do the penalties things...it ain't gonna be pretty.

we've played the way this team has to play to win, if we keep it up we'll be hard to beat any day

Diggs not practicing, could be trouble. I dont think much of Osweiler, but Texans have some weapons

Vikes still their OL and Run game to be better

They may be better off with Sirles in for Smith.

Sirles hasn't been looking too bad. I'd rather give Smith the time to recover. Forcing an injury can really screw you up in the long run.

Saw a tweet that it's possible Smith may be headed to IR.

I guess if that's what has to be done...

I think I agree, he looked decent last week

Diggs downgraded 2 doubtful, looks likes Jarius Wright gets in this week, I expect C Patt to get more looks as well. This looks like a low scoring affair

Could be a chance for Treadwell too.

 

[kobesgame]

With Diggs unlikely to play Sunday, they'll be playing without 5 of their starters on offense (and 4 of those could be for the whole season).

Next man up indeed.

 

[Nosferatu]

Time for McKinnon to have his third career 100 rushing game...

 

[PnkPanther]

Diggs out Wright active

 

[bt08]

I'll be shocked if this isn't a very low scoring affair
