Plus, Cousins doesn't do well at all if you apply enough pressure/get a few sacks. He's not good off-script or improvisationally, if you prefer. If he's scrambling, chances are he isn't going to wow you with a great play to save the drive. At best, he doesn't turn it over. But it'll be almost a coinflip whether he shits himself or does the smart thing and just throws it out of bounds.

It's just his history. Many years of it.

Bottom line, if both Josh Alen and Von Miller are playing, i'd take BUF to win. Maybe MIN could cover this time.

Cousins just can't get it done when the lights come on. Primetime games, stretch runs, playoffs - he just can't do it when it really matters.

Agreed.

Luckily, this is just another Noon game that's not getting any kind of national spotlight or big headline appeal. The kind of game that Cousins and the Vikes can steal if they play well.

I'm not predicting a Vikings win, but it's certainly possible especially considering Allen's UCL situation. He'll likely play but he definitely won't be at a 100%.

Let's talk about the Vikings Bills?

Here's my talk.

From ESPN+...

Super Bowl favorites: Bills vs. 49ers

The Chiefs and Bills split votes and basically should comprise their own Super Bowl out of the AFC. "Those are the two best teams," a veteran NFC scout said. "They are the deepest and have the best players [Allen and Mahomes]." The Bills get the nod because they are battle tested, have a deep roster and know they are good. "This feels like their time," an AFC exec said.

The Eagles are widely viewed as the NFC's most complete team, and "getting home-field advantage will be big for them," the AFC exec said. But the 49ers garnered enough votes to earn the spot. "Battle tested and explosive playmaking on both sides of the ball," an NFL personnel director said.

Lol. The Chiefs aren't battle tested? They've been in FAR MORE big games over the last several years than the Bills. The Chiefs also have a pretty solid roster top to bottom, maybe not quite as deep as the Bills, but definitely solid. That's great that the Bills 'know they are good'. You know who else knows they are good? The Kansas City Chiefs. The team that has hosted the AFC Title Game the last 4 years and has gone 8-3 in the playoffs over that span. Last I checked, that's pretty good.

I have no problem with them making the Buffalo-SF pick; I get it.

But if THIS is the reasoning then that's ****ing stupid.

I hate this stupid shit. There's no such thing as destiny in the NFL, you have to ****ing earn it.

The Vikings are the Jamaal charles chiefs but with a slightly better version of Dwayne Bowe. They can win but i do not expect them to win against a motivated Bills team. They feel a lot like the Alex Smith teams that had a horrific record when teams scored over 27 or whatever the stat was for years.

8th graders are really stupid

I figured you were at least a high schooler.

I watched the Vikings/Dolphins game. Oh man... the Vikings offense was so insanely predictable and boring. It was amazing having players like Jefferson and Cook and it looked like their offense was running in quicksand against a defense that's been very mediocre.

I don't think they matchup well with a healthy Bills team at all, but of course, Bills aren't all that healthy.

They are.

But the Bills have beaten that battle tested Chiefs team 2 of the last 3 times and were a bad coaching decision away from beating them 3 times in a row.

Meh.

And the Chiefs have beaten the Bills the last 2 times when it REALLY mattered.

Until that changes . . . . .

Bills going to be in third place in their own division after this week. Bills fans love excuses though so at least they can blame it on Allen’s elbow.
