Flacco's having a tough day  at the office.Rodgers had a good day - did just what he needed to do to win. QB rating of 119.7; Wentz threw for 350 yards but still somehow managed to be completely ineffective.Minnesota is between a rock and a hard place next week. If the same Browns team that we saw last week shows up next week, and Wentz is still the quarterback, he's going to get massacred. If McCarthy is ready to get back in, he's not going to be very mobile yet, and he's going to have to get rid of the ball very fast. The Vikings have a much better deep passing game than a short game, but that defense is not going to give him time to develop the deep routes.Fortunately for them, that RB they picked up from San Francisco (Jordan Mason) to replace Jones had a hell of a game today, so they might be able to open things up a bit with their running game, but I don't think it's going  to be enough. I think Minnesota is 2-3 after Week 5, going into a really tough schedule - Eagles and Chargers (both of whom are 3-0 at the moment), and then the Lions. If I were a Minnesota fan, I'd be a little nervous right now.</blockquote>
