After a bad loss against the Bucs, how will things play out against rookie QB Russel Wilson and The Seahawks?

I'm not loving the idea of playing in Seattle at all, however, we do have the "fresh" advantage. We match up well since their passing attack is pretty ok best. Lynch will give us serious trouble if we don't fix our run D

which vikings team shows up the one that played against the colts and buc's and was not prepared

or the one that stomped on the 49ers .. and a few others

We got torched by back to back Trivia Question caliber rookie running backs at home so playing Marshawn Lynch on the road is HORRIFYING. Their D is great, too.

I predict a loss here, by about 10 points.

I'm going to be at the game too. And the Vikings are 3-1 when I am at the game. The one loss being the 2009 NFCC game. This will be a tough game. We don't win on the road and Seattle doesn't lose at home. Following that logic we should lose. However, I am one of those that never say never. And I can't predict a loss. Even if I think we will lose I can not say that we will. I see AD carrying us to a win. Peterson goes over 200 yards on 25 carries. I think it will be a hair pulling type game but we come up big in the 4th and win 17-16 after trailing 10-16 with 3 minutes in the 4th.

I doubt we win 2 more game this year unless im wrong about Ponder. But theres always AD, ST snd the D to score so who knows.

Seattles Defense will eat Ponder alive. Not saying he'll throw a bunch of picks, but he'll have no time to throw the ball.
Seattle's rookie QB won't do much against the D, but Lynch could have a big day.

in a shocker......

24-17 Seattle. It's a road game against an "average" team. Since we have struggled against "bad" teams on the road, I think they'll (the Seahawks) get a win. My only hope is the only other game I was comparably confident would be a loss was the SF game.

I don't like the match up on this one, plus the game is at Seattle.

Seattle by 7 points.

Wow, lots of gloomy predictions. Wilson is very inconsistent and we will be coming off an extended time off and a terrible loss. I think that Leslie will have the Vikes re energized and focused to the task on hand. I think we take this one in an upset. Musgrave calls a good game.

Seahawks by nine:
25-16 (Includes a Seahawks safety).

Most optimistic result:
Vikes 27 - Seahawks 17 (Wilson with a couple early turnovers)

Least optimistic result:
41-0 Seahawks (Lynch runs wild, Ponder plays like he did in Detroit, but against a better defense in Seattle, Sidney gets a bit of revenge with two TD's)

The 5th ranked defense is gonna make Check Down Charlie look silly. Here are CDC's stats for the game. 14 for 33 for 104 yards. 0 TD and 1 INT for a smooth 30.71 QB rating. Almost all completions were check downs (that is why he is check down charlie). Longest play of passing game is a 30 yard PI call on a rainbow punt to Simpson.

Vikes get 3 field goals in a 27-9 loss. Hows that for ya? Sound familiar?

I can't predict a loss, but it's going to be a tough match-up. However the Vikings play Seattle well in Seattle. Just like the Buc's play the Vikings well. What really sucks is a 3 o'clock game I hate it when we are the second game.

Walsh wins it for us in the final seconds.

Oddly, I think the Vikes might win this one. They bounced back with a win after their previous two losses this season but they also had the benefit of playing at home. It will be tougher on the road.

I'm picking the Vikes by 1 in a low-scoring game.

I suspect they'll contain Lynch and keep him under 100 yards because I don't think they'll sell out to stop the outside WRs as much they did against Arizona and TB. I'm also guessing a huge emphasis is being placed on gap discipline this week.

I just hope their offense can move the ball and avoid turnovers.
