Yes. Philly was ~3 point (home) underdogs and the offense didn't look very good beating Atlanta the week prior. Pretty much everyone was picking Minnesota to win.Pac_Eddy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 7:08 amI think that run in Philly is tough to replicate. Like Case Keenum & the 2017 Vikings. Average QBs can have a good season, but elite QBs do it most seasons. If Foles was good, wouldn't Jacksonville keep him? They prefer Gardner Minshew.Valhalla wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 7:02 am As a Viking fan...I am wondering if the other Vikings fans have discovered the secret of blocking out the 38-7 drubbing Foles handed them in what was largely predicted to be an “easy” playoff game for the Vikings.
And yes, that was Foles. Not the system. Just stop with that.
And there were people who that that would be an "easy" playoff game? I don't remember it that way.
On topic, I think this is a similar situation to Tennessee last year. Mitch is the starter week 1, but with a short leash.
