I like the idea of being able to gameplan against AP, and daring Bridgewater to beat you..

The Skins kinda played that game with the Vikes sans AP in a 2014 regular season game. And Teddy B got in that ass. There isn't a team that's playoff bound that can't wear the Skins defense out imo. The thing that might be the D's saving grace though is they've been coming up with a nice amount of TOs of late, especially fumbles.

3 Teams we could play Vikings, Packers, and Seahawks. I think Seattle would be the worst to play. Our strength on offense is passing and they give up the least amount of passing TD's. Minnesota would be tough because of AP. Cant believe I'm saying this but the Packers look the weakest this year. You mentioned TO's well Starks has 5 fumbles and Lacy with 4.

Seattle is far better without Lynch. It totally changes their offensive play calling and makes them more explosive.

Boy I don't know about that. Raise your hand if you prefer to play Seattle with Lynch instead of without him.

Go look at their offense with and without Lynch. Look at their record since he went down. They are a better offense without him.

The Seahawks were 2-3 with Lynch. They are 7-3 without him. Lynch was averaging only 3.8 YPC. The Seahawks have been scoring 3 more PPG without Lynch.

My hand is raised. If we play the Seahawks, I hope they have Lynch and I am glad they do not have Rawls.

Go look at their record with and without Cam Chancelor. Their offense has improved but so has their entire team. Russell Wilson has been tremendous in the second half, no reason why that can't continue with Beast Mode. That still doesn't mean they are a better team without one of the most dominant running backs in the game.

Agreed on Kam count too. But Kam doesn't affect their offensive output. Their play calling totally changes with Lynch and it does effect Wilson. Actually, that is exactly what it means if it changes how they play. They really do miss Rawls though...he was far more dominant that Lynch.

Yeah, but if they could have Lynch or Christian Micheal, is this really a question?

Wilson was obviously asked to do more once Rawls went down, but if you ask me, having that passing game clicking, and now you insert the threat of Lynch on top of that? That would make them very dangerous, because defenses know now more than ever, that stacking the box is not a way to defend Seattle successfully

But you have to ask if Lynch carrying the ball early throws the passing game off throughout. Sorry but Lynch looked bad this season and 3.8 YPC hurts an offense.

with the Hawks victory the Vikes are off the table.

If the packers win tonight we face the hawks.

If the packers lose we face the packers.

After watching Wilson tear the cardinals apart, give me Green Bay at home.
