they also needed a last second FG to beat andy frickin dalton, beat bridgewater by a score, needed to comeback from 10 down in the 4th on the vaunted hieneke led offense last week after heineke completely melted down.... they've faced ONE squad with a winning record that actually fielded their starting qb(eagles) and they got their teeth kicked in. The game is plenty winnable with keenum. literally every other game the vikings have stumbled through as shown that.

 

 

.... oh then theres barely scrapping by the bears earlier in the season while fields still looked like a steaming pile of donkey sh**

 

this vikings squad reminds me of the 2020 stillers that had the luxury of playing 5 or 6 backups on their way to being 11-0 and then completely folded down the stretch when the 4 leaf clovers ran out.

 

No one is claiming Vikings are world beaters.  The topic here  is Case Keenum instead of Josh Allen.

7 mins till practice starts, someone fly over the stadium and see if you see Allen practicing 

[Dablitzkrieg]

He's not playing.

I was merely stating the common sense of it all. Your entire Super Bowl season hinges on the health of Josh Allen and you think they are actually going to push him out there less than a week after tearing something in his elbow. Yes, I am quite confident he will not play and why you insist on taking this to leaving the board and bringing up embarrassment is quite strange, very strange actually.

 

Hour to hour now.

 

The evidence just piling up that he's playing at this point. 

 

Not to say I told you so, but...

[Heitz]

I read on page something in the 70's that if we get to 100 pages Josh will play - feels like we're right on track...

 

 

[Joe Ferguson]

I heard from another source that it changed from hour to hour to minute to minute.

[Big Turk]

Now he isn't practicing apparently..WTF. 

 

Guess he is out for Sunday

There is no way there were going to have him practice for the 5 mins of media availability at this point, gamesmanship

Definitely my most looked at and successful thread I have ever started on this board.

Coach never said he was practicing, he said he boxes to still check....meaning he's close, but might not be ready.  

 

Media also had like 5 min of access to see stretching. 

 

So who knows, but very likely Case playing, will know injury report later and tomorrow by 4pm if Barkley is called up.

Really? I come to the opposite conclusion.

Hasn't practiced all week, and appears to maybe not be practicing today.

I don't think they put him out there after not taking any practice snaps all week.

100 pages. Y’all sure can chat it up

Hey, nobody would be happier than this guy if he plays and is healthy enough to do so. It would make sitting in the freezing rain for 7 hours a heck of a lot better. I would still be shocked if it happens.

Looks like I was right 

[Hebert19]

The media is obsessed with the fact that hes not out there while they're allowed to watch why would we ever put him out there while the media was watching I'm sure hes throwing passes

We'll know later today when the final injury report of the week is issued, but I'd bet anything that it says "DNP".

Based on this coaching staff's history and common sense, three straight DNPs almost certainly equates to a missed game.

I don’t know…..anything can happen.

 

 I mean, the Bills got a player’s bare ass on the news so…….

[Warriorspikes51]

Even if he's DNP today, he should be listed as questionable 

[Bills!Win!]

I think what we all need to remember is that Josh stiff arms defensive linemen, plows over linebackers, and hurdles defensive backs. I think it would take more than a UCL sprain to keep him out

Yep.  McD just trying to make the Vikes have to game plan for both Josh and Keenum.  I’d be surprised if Josh plays on Sunday.

[Airseven]

Any new dramatic close-up footage of his elbow?!? Any doctor diagrams?? How about some elbow shots of one of those skeletons that stand in the corner of your family practitioners office?

Vikings are gonna game plan for the Bills offense. The plays themselves won’t change much. The only difference is no players are in danger of being leapt over with Case

Agree.  I’m not sure any NFL team ever had to game plan for Case Keenam.

Even if Allen does play I still want them to design the offensive game plan as if Keenum is playing. Find the couple of run plays that we can execute at a high level and keep calling them. Get some screens going to Hines and Cook. Quick underneath passes to move the ball. Absolutely zero designed QB runs. If we can get that kind of offense going while still keeping teams on their toes with the threat of Allen's deep passes, we will be the scariest team in the playoffs.

 

I agree with this.  Let's get back to moving the chains, one play at a time, etc.  I'm wondering if it's a possibility that Josh dresses, but they play Keenum and have Josh as the back up.

That rapey punter guy got 300 pages. It's the least we can do for Josh.

I think Allen sits out this game. Case Keenum will play and we all hope executes well.

 

Here is a thought. The Bills/ Dorsey utilize plays that keep Case Keenum in a good offensive flow. Let our playmakers do their thing and take the onus off of Him as the key piece of the puzzle this Sunday.  Let the Offensive weapons we do have step Up.

 

The defensive injury list concerns me as much as the QB situation just sayin'

I agree somewhat, but I believe there would be different points of coaching emphasis against Keenum rather than Allen.

For instance, containing the edges and perhaps assigning a spy are not going to be points of emphasis against Keenum the way they would be against Allen. I would also think that squatting more on short and intermediate routes and worrying a little bit less about the deep routes would be a consideration.

In short, I think the Vikings defense potentially employs very different defensive tactics depending upon whether it's Keenum or Allen under center for the Bills.

I would hope Dorsey has not been reserving sensible play calling for emergency situations but that may be the Case.

Cook, Singletary and Hines.

 

And Knox when he passes.
