Stephen is good, him and Tom Johnson are two really underrated parts of the Vikings defensive line.

I believe jpzx jpzx asked me to research Stafford record vs winning teams on the road and how NO quarterback as highly regarded him would play that bad and he has a losing record for a reason.

If we were to go ahead and do a rough average of how Stafford plays on the road vs winners?

RAW TOTALS: 5013 yards, 26 TDs, 18 INTs,
AVG TOTAL: 58.3%, 251 yards, 1.3 TDs, 0.9 INT per game, 76 rating

Couple notes: Right off the bat. If you said Stafford is 0fer on the road vs winners, your point is already useless. Thanks for playing, try again! Because as you see, Stafford didn't even freaking PLAY vs 5 of those winners.

Next...vs winners on the road...he actually isn't....gasp...terrible.

For instance.

How does the beloved Andrew Luck play on the road vs winners? Ready? Ready? Ready????

2012:

Bears (10-6) LOSS
Patriots (12-4) LOSS
Texans (12-4) LOSS
Ravens (10-6) LOSS

2013:

SF (12-4) WIN
SD (9-7) LOSS
AZ (10-6) LOSS
CIN (11-5) LOSS
KC (11-5) WIN
NE (12-4) LOSS


2014:
Broncos (12-4) LOSS
Texans (9-7) WIN
Steelers (11-5) LOSS
Cowboys (12-4) LOSS
Broncos (12-4) WIN
Patriots (12-4) LOSS

UH OH! Andrew the Amazing is...gasp...4-12 vs winners on the road.

Wow, right? Andrew Luck, who you swear up and down is better than Stafford and who himself can "WIN on the road vs WINNERS" is statistically WORSE in every way than Matthew Stafford on the road vs winners.

Wow, again. Huh?

Does this mean that, perhaps, just perhaps....Stafford could NOT be the only reason we lose on the road and maybe we should, out of common sense and factual information, retire the silly "he can't beat a winner on the road" portion of this thing?

Even a QB many of you feel is great is absolutely "awful" (based on Stafford's standards) when looked at compared to Stafford on the road. Yet, because his TEAM won 4 games....HE gets a pass.

Do you now see how silly this whole suggestion of him being the reason we lose on the road is?

I know, this will take a few to set in. But....what this says is...Either you're wrong about Andrew Luck and he too absolutely SUCKS on the road vs winners and has been VERY lucky to win a game vs any winner, seeing Stafford has BETTER stats and has not done that.

OR...and I think this is correct....Matthew Stafford who has "never beat a winner on the road" is being held to a totally ludicrous standard here.....

Before wrapping this up, and I hope it was useful, I will add a disclaimer: Andrew Luck has played 52 career games. 16 have been against winning teams on the road. That means that 30% of his games, a very very small fraction, use this specific and linear metric you guys are trying to use against Stafford. In his case, Stafford has seen winners on the road in only 26% of his games.....

This isn't to target a specific poster, rather to point out....perhaps beating road winners is very, very difficult in this league. That's why they are, you know, winning teams and stuff. Hey, folks are going to think what they want, but I think this is damning to those who want to piss on my leg and tell me its raining. Stafford HAS played well enough to win on the road in several games, the team has failed him. So, again.....using a linear stat that you hear on Valenti and Foster may not be the best way to go about this whole discussion.

Don't get me wrong here: Critically assessing Stafford is crucial at this point for us as fans. As we need to decide about the future of the position and team, quickly. BUT, lets keep it to things he HIMSELF controls. A TEAM LOSS is not one of them. As a TEAM win isn't.

In a few games: I will go into his stats vs losers and see how he plays in them. My GUESS is he's about the same vs everybody, but he may surprise me. You never know.

Not just on the road SneakerProSr. SneakerProSr. but that's still interesting man, thanks for posting. :pimp:

The Vikings are better than the Lions as we know, and this year's team would maximize their talent for this season at-hand by sneaking into the playoffs - if everything goes right - which means grabbing wins now before grabbing losses later, in all likelihood.

Minnesota's 3-2 right now, and their next four weeks are like this:

Oct 25: Away vs. Detroit
Nov. 1: Away vs. Chicago (where MIN hasn't won since 2007, AP's rookie season)
Nov. 8: Home vs. St. Louis
Nov. 15: Away vs. Oakland

After?

Nov. 22: Home vs. Green Bay
Nov. 29: Away vs. Atlanta
Dec. 6: Home vs. Seahawks
Dec. 10: Away vs. Arizona

The game this weekend worries me even if the team is self-aware in itself that it has to do well in the next four games to secure at least a bid of making the playoffs:

- The Vikings don't have Shariff Floyd, and Minnesota was able to rock Stafford's life in Week 2 because of the edge rushers but ALSO the push from the middle of the line. Floyd's broken out this season, and his inability to be out there this Sunday will hurt.

- The refs will be eyeing Xavier Rhodes, who I've said many times is a penalty hoarder and when somebody finally calls attention to it like the Lions have, I'm worried about what could happen.

We'll see...
 
Offense needs to start scoring in the damn redzone. Teddy needs to push himself into the next level too.
 
Chris Tomasson @christomasson
Source close to #Vikings running back Adrian Peterson expects him to play Sunday at Detroit. Listed as questionable because of illness.

Matt Vensel @mattvensel
I'm told Adrian Peterson is still likely to play tomorrow despite the illness. That's assuming things don't take a turn for the worse.

Ben Goessling @GoesslingESPN
Those who know Adrian Peterson well have little doubt he'll play tomorrow. "Adrian is Adrian," one person close to him said.

Ben Goessling @GoesslingESPN
Also, I'm told Stefon Diggs will get the start at receiver tomorrow for the #Vikings.

Need to win tomorrow and these next few games before the tough part of the schedule heads our way. Teddy/Diggs look really good right now, I hope they can keep up their chemistry against a struggling Detroit secondary. AP needs to find some space, the OL being pretty much the walking dead is not helping his cause.

I still think Teddy needs to elevate his play. He's still getting a pass nationally, but it won't last long if he doesn't start putting this team in the endzone. Too many redzone stalls already.

Bridgewater definitely needs to show us something this week and in the upcoming slate of games. Plenty of easy pass defenses in there, but where I really would like to see him play well today is in the first quarter - where he's been at his worst this season.

1st: Just a 59% completion percentage, 1 TD, 2 INT.

Good news is as the game goes on he gets better. 2nd - 60.0% 3rd - 69.2% 4th - 72.2% (without his Y/A going down).
