We're on to the Vikings - at Gillette

[signbabybrady]

Thielen and Diggs are very good WR's . D will have their hands full with those guys. Pats can get it done but we can't let them get separation or be wide open, they are fast and threaten to take it the distance every time.

Cousins isn't very mobile so we should be able to man up in the secondary and get creative with our pressures. Right @KontradictioN

We will beat Minnesota, Sony will run for another buck fifty

cousins is the most overrated QB on the planet

Coming into tonight, Cousins was having a better year than Brady. While I agree that some overrate him, he’s a solid top 10 QB in this league and probably a better or similar thrower than Brady. Obviously, throwing isn’t all that goes into being a QB and Brady crushes Cousins on those attributes. But Cousins came into today with a better completion percentage and fewer INT per pass - two of the most important stats for a QB.

Again, Brady is clearly a better overall QB but calling Cousins “the most overrated” seems like a huge stretch considering that he’s actually throwing pretty well this year. I don’t think anyone makes him out to be a top 5 guy.

Cousins doesn’t have it mentally to be an elite QB. You can cite all the stats you want.

I agree. This guy is ok but that’s the long and short of it

Brady, Brees, Ben, Luck, Wilson, Rodgers, Mahomes, Rivers, Watson, Goff, Ryan, Newton, Wentz. Maybe also Trubitsky, Mayfield, and Stafford.

All QB's I'd rather have over Cousins. Top 10? He's barely top 20.

Losing Rhoades is gonna be hard for them to overcome

Vikings top CB Xavier Rhodes limping off after what appears to be a significant hamstring injury. Something to monitor for next week.

Thielen is a monster. We need to control him, can't take him away altogether but we need to control the damage he can do

 

[Joey007]

I’m interested in the WR matchups. I think Gilmore will handle Thielen as well as he can. Sure it’ll be competitive.

I’m more concerned about Diggs. I don’t think we have anyone to match up with him.

Double Diggs and let Gilmore go heads up with Thielen.

It's not all Stats but many QB's are statistically better than the 41 year old Brady. Believe it or not Brady will not make the Pro Bowl this year in the AFC. Cousins is the kind of QB that will give this Defense fits. Cousins plays it safe or protects the football and he has some good WR's on the outsides. The Patriots and especially Tom Brady will have to be sharp on Offense. I see a shootout all the way. Even at home this won't be a gimme for the Pats. Vikes Offense is a few notches below the Elites but they are good. I would take the over in this one.

Nice battle plans but I prefer the other way around double Thielen he's really good.
