Carson Palmer Has One Less Thing to Worry About This Weekend

by Rich Langford on Nov 15, 2011 9:53 PM PST

Carson Palmer isn't going to have to worry about Antoine Winfield stopping any of his passes on Sunday. The Vikings' corner is done for the season.

And with that a horrible Vikings secondary just got a little more horrible. The good news for the Vikings is that they are used to playing without Winfield. Monday night's game was the first time Winfield had been on the field since Week 4 on October 2nd.

The Vikings have actually fared much better in games Winfield has not played in. They are 2-2 without him and 0-5 with him—not that I think that is Winfield's fault.

This injury ensures that out of the four corners starting in this game only one will be a legitimate NFL starter. Both teams will also have corners on their roster, and probably on the field at some point, that were on their couch this weekend.

The point is that there is going to be some bad corners on the field in this one. At least the Raiders will have Stanford Routt. The Vikings No. 1 corner is now Chris Cook. This is not good for the Vikings.

vikings corners are in for a long day sunday. Adrian peterson will give them a chance against the raiders defense but other than that, I dont see a reason why the raiders should lose this game.

True

i predict dhb has a big game as well as moore. vikings will have their eyes on moore more though. I like ap he is one of my favorite backs second to run dmc. gotta hope he has a bad game this weekend though after that he can go back to punishing defenses.

CP3

Carson Bomber is going to have a career day on Sunday against the Vikings. Can’t wait, I love that dude!

by Raider1978 on Nov 15, 2011 10:35 PM PST reply actions

Just an injury

I hope, for their sakes, that the Raiders do not look at three things going into this game; the Vikings secondary, the Vikings record, or that the Vikings have a rookie behind center. This game screams as a loss if they play badly. At their best, Raiders win big. If they take their foot off the gas pedal, this trap game will cost us a win. Beware of shitty teams, every dog has its day.

Well advised. The Power Rankings have Minnesota ahead of six teams with better records including KC with its four wins

Minnesota is desperate for a win and like Miami against KC will be going all out Sunday. We’d be fools to look past this game as we did Denver. Losing this one might not damn our playoff chances but it would prove that as a team we lack character and won’t go any further than KC did last year.

Agree too

If the Raiders want to be a top team, they have to play these games one at a time, look at every game like it’s a playoff game and look take no team for granted.
If they can do that, then they can become a top team and a perennial play team.

I'm Not Sure Any Team Really Looks At Any Game As A Give-me!!!..But They Do Underestimate!!

We evidently grossly underestimated both “KC” and that “Donkey”…I know I did…

When looking at the Vikes it readily comes to mind what areas of weakness can be exploited due to injury and limited experience…So a game plan will be devised to attack those areas taking advantage of what is foreseen…But sometime that perceived weakness is just not there or they made alterations to limit it’s ill effects…Now is when adjustments need to be made and a new plan of action taken…I think that’s were we were weak regarding both “KC” and That “Donkey”…They made the adjustments and we failed to…

Hue is a rookey “HC” with a more than full plate and I think that just sorta got away from him…I think he has now matured a little on the job and will approach this week and the weeks to come accordingly…No more slacking!!!…Just an intensified effort like we saw against “SD”…I think to a man this team understands what they need to do and will carry it threw…

It's even worse!

Chris Cook is not Vikings #1 CB.
On Oct. 25 he was charged with felony domestic assault, after allegedly attempting to strangle his girlfriend. In a statement released by the Vikings Nov. 7, they stated that Cook had been moved back to the 53-man roster (after 2 weeks of suspension), but that he would not practice or play while he was still facing criminal charges.
I think Cook has a Nov. 22 court hearing, so until that (at least) he’s out.

Hope for a good game and fun to watch….And stay healthy for both of us…

Ditto.

I’m a Swedish long time Viking-fan with Raiders as my AFC favorite team. Vikings were raiders, get it? ;-) A loss is always hard to take, but our season is over so I’ll survive a loss to The Raiders.

Understand Bro...I Was Also A Vikes Fan Back In The Day...Bud Grant....Pirates Of The Sea!!!

Ahmad Ra-shard played ball against us in Tacoma Wa…I was 2 years younger at “FP” while he was at Mt Tahoma….Bobby Moore…Than he changed his name while at Oregon…

Good thing “TB” was not a team while I was young or I would have liked them too…But NOT after they spanked us in the “SB”!!!

Bucs...

They played Vikings in NFC North from late 70’s to early 2000 and had that Errol Flynn-logo (until mid 90’s I think) so they where not an option.
Bud Grant had that 1 year-stint in ‘85 and that was the year I came across American Football (as we call it this side of the “big pond”). It took me a couple of years to understand that he wasn’t a complete mess as a head coach ;-)
And The Gruden Bowl… The Gruden Bowl… a Raider-friend of mine always talks about that one when he’s in a bad mode (and I talk about SB XI when Vikings lost to Raiders). Enough sad history.

Beef and beer for a healthy life for both our Pirates of the Sea and see you on sunday!

Look for The Vikes to Blitz more than usual.

With a week secondary, the vikes will have to bring extra pressure to help their secondary out and keep our running game short.
Look for Boss, Reece, and screen passes for big gains.

That Hurry Up "O" Should Wear Them Down And Limit Substitutions...

So if we anticipate them coming out is a pass rush defensive set we should counter it from the start and keep them in it…Maybe a 2 “TE” single back set so we can release the “RB” or either “TE” into patterns also…Boss/Ausbeery???

ex-Bengali - CP3 fan here...

In my short viewing of the OL, it appears they are very good in pass blocking in addition to being top class run blockers.

The Cincy OL was absolutely horrible and callowed many hits on CP.

CP, not the fleetist-of-foot, is a classic pocket passer (like Brady) and is easily on of the top elite QBs if the OL can keep pocket clean.

Let’s hope Raiduhs do not take MN lightly so Buh runs for another 150 and CP throw 350 w/4TDs.

Go CP!!! Go Raiduhs!!!

LOL........i like how you start all of your comments with "ex-Bengali - CP3 fan here..."

"THE TIME TO WIN IS NOW" - Coach Hue Jackson

Raider Nation, all hand's on deck or get the hell off the ship! That's the way it's gonna be around here from now on! If a 7th & 5th round pick gets you Aaron Curry (a former 4th overall 1st rd. pick) instead of a couple of crap-shoots a year later, then fine and if dealing away a couple of first rounder's gets you a proven franchise quarterback like Carson Palmer and a legitimate shot at the playoffs, then great, you know why? Because our team is standing behind it's motto & legacy, "Just Win Baby!" and "Commitment to Excellence" instead of "Suck for Luck" and "Give Up". Imagine if you were a fan of a team that actually bought into that!?!

Cheers,
