Hello Who Dats & Who Datettes and welcomes to the week 10/game 10 thread

Back above .500 sounds good and in first place in the NFC South sounds better... but there's still work to pull away from the rest of the NFC South.

Today... we head to a place a lot of us would like to forget, Minneapolis. The Vikings helped us out last week by ripping the soul out of the Falcons last week with a last second TD to beat Atlanta. But now our defense has to remind Josh Dobbs that he's a journeyman NFL QB who's been on 5 teams over 2 seasons for a reason.

Meanwhile, the offense has started to hit a stride inside the red zone the last few weeks. Can the slow but steady offensive improvement continue?

Need to get it done today, for next week is our bye week and then 4 of our final 7 games of the season are in the NFC South.

LET'S PLUNDER THE VIKINGS AND GO INTO THE BYE ON A 3-GAME WIN STREAK!!!!
