The key is score more points any way possible.

I have a bad feeling this is going to be Adrian Peterson's 2012 coming out party....

I don't think we'll be beat by big plays much as far as throwing the ball, but Percy Harvin is having a heck of a year thus far. They also have Jerome Simpson back and Rudolph is living up to his potential. I'm really worried about just the possession game. If we can't move the ball offensively and keep our defense off the field, they are going to get worked. We've got to dink and dunk our way down the field and run the ball effectively to maintain time of possession and keep our defense fresh. I think we showed last week with Casey stepping up we can contain the run, not stop it, but definitely contain it and make stops on 3rd and 1 when we really need to.

I definitely think we can beat the Vikings. But it will take much more effort throughout 60+ minutes. We can't turn the ball over. The pick 6 was the dagger to any momentum we had last week. I think we've got a great game this Sunday, although the Vikings should win we can pull this one out if we play a perfect game and keep positive throughout. Need a leader to step up, I'm looking for McCarthy this week on defense.

^ Two things about the Vikes pass defense. They have only picked off one pass this year and they have struggled against short, quick hitting passing attacks.

The Vikings have been going all out to prevent the big play and keep the play in front of them which means they will give up those short passes and be less likely to force Ints.

It really hasnt cost the team any games this year, in fact, the Vikings have statistically a darn good looking defense. You really cant cite many instances of a team getting big passing plays down field against the Vikings, except for that Gabbert to Shorts TD week 1, and I believe Reggie Wayne had a longer catch down field Week 2.

I think with Hasselbeck, he has the potential to do good things if he gets the ball out quickly and is able to effectively hit on thoe 6-8 yard passes and keep the chains moving. The natural openings in zone coverage will be there this week, and there is probably little risk of Hasselbeck throwing a dumb Int. That would be the Titans hope on offense, getting a quick hitting rhythm based passing game going. I think running the ball and trying to hit big plays down field wont work in the Titans favor this week.

Though the big question for Tennesse is will the defense show up? The Vikings offense isnt to be taken lightly now with the return of Simpson. Granted last week the offense was ineffective, the Titans cant count on that again this week. MN has functioned better on offense at home.
