Maybe. The Niners have been pretty competitive the last few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if they hang around into the fourth quarter, especially if Gurley sits again.

Unlikely, but kind of an interesting wrinkle. If the Vikings game ends in a tie and the Eagles win, the tiebreaker would go to Minnesota at 8-6-2.

Unfortunately I think Mack and Hicks are going to be the two best players on the field, yes even over Hunter. I love the Vikes defensive roster, but Though Barr has come on strong he's been wildly inconsistent throughout his career. I think Rhodes is good but overrated. He misses series and plays for injury all the time, and if a game is officiated tightly he struggles. Not to mention when he's been out this year the back end has still been fine. Griffen isn't playing well, and the inside guys are starting to show some age/ wear and tear.
Spielman better get an oline built soon or time for him to go. He’s wasted one of the best Ds the Vikings have ever had due to neglecting the OL. Cousins money should have been spread out with upgrades upfront.
While I agree largely, he also deserves some credit for building that D. On the other hand, with the cash and early round picks they have used on that side of the ball the defense better be good.
I am a life long Vikings fan and i understand the Bears' D is a force, but geez this Vikings offense is really hard to watch.
Maybe, but if Spielman doesn't take an OL in the first round again this year, he should be fired.
Agree completely on building the D. However he’s also the same guy that gave Cousins his dead weight contract.
As CTTB78 said in his post Spielman better be drafting an OL in first round. He’s ignored it for too many years.
High dollar free agent QBs generally slowly kill teams over time. Cousins is just accelerating that process!!
Quite a few good teams with good qbs still on lower rookie contracts. Anymore you’re better off drafting QBs thinking at least one will work out vs tying up cap space on a high dollar free agent with a horrible W-L record.
Cousins....what leadership. Cool. Calm. Steady.
Wouldn't be surprised if he started crying in the 2nd half.

Cousins isn't even in the top 5 of issues right now.
He has one good lineman (O'Neill), 1 being misused (Elflein) and 3 completely in over their heads. They aren't average at run blocking or pass blocking so they get off schedule easily. One dimensional offenses in the NFL don't work without an All-Pro QB (and even then still may not....see Green Bay).
