s each week Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , the level of confidence was waning significantly prior to last week, and with good reason. An ugly, ugly loss against Buffalo and a shootout loss to Los Angeles dropped the Vikings’ record to 1-2-1, and the team appeared to be a far cry from what many were expecting going into the season.Apparently, getting a win and a small measure of revenge over the defending Super Bowl champions was enough to get things back on the upswing.With their 23-21 victory in Philadelphia last Sunday, the percentage of Vikings fans that felt they were confident in the direction of the team has more than doubled. Going into Week 5, that number was at just 33%, but now the number is at 70%.Fans of their opponents this week, the Arizona Cardinals, are not nearly as confident.According to our friends over at Revenge of the Birds Olisaemeka Udoh Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , in what appears to be a bit of a strange trend, their confidence in the team appears to have dropped following a victory. The Cardinals picked up their first victory of the season last week with a win over San Francisco, but while their level of confidence going into Week 5 was at 33%, their confidence level going into this week’s game sits at just 18%.Both teams, at this point, seem to be in agreement with their projected results of this week’s game at U.S. Bank Stadium is going to be. Vikings’ fans, on average, are predicting a 9-point victory, while Cardinals fans are projecting that their team will lose by 7. Hopefully that will come to fruition this Sunday. Acknowledging the Buffalo Bills have much room to improve, coach Sean McDermott rejected the notion he is overseeing a team in turmoil following a tumultuous first two weeks."There's growing pains going through this Youth Alexander Mattison Jersey ," McDermott said, Monday. "Nobody said it was going to be easy."No one said it was going to be this difficult either for a team off to a 0-2 start following a 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.Buffalo has been outscored by a combined 54-6 in the first halves of its two losses, and 78-23 overall.McDermott has already switched quarterbacks, taken over the defensive play-calling duties from coordinator Leslie Frazier and also had to contend with veteran cornerback Vontae Davis quitting the team at halftime against Los Angeles.McDermott said not all the issues and distractions are related, particularly when it comes to Davis. The offseason free-agent addition informed McDermott he was done during the first half, and then announced he was retiring after 10 NFL seasons a few hours after the game."His actions spoke loud and clear," McDermott said, when asked if he's had a chance to speak to Davis since Sunday. "I'm focused on my team right now."The NFL granted the Bills a roster exemption regarding Davis.McDermott has plenty on his plate with Buffalo entering a grueling portion of its schedule in which the Bills play one home game 鈥?against Tennessee on Oct. 7 鈥?in the next five weeks. Buffalo plays its next two on the road, starting with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.Injuries are also becoming an issue.Running back LeSean McCoy's status is questionable after was sustained damage to his rib cartilage during the third quarter against the Chargers.Buffalo is also thin at cornerback. Aside from Davis' departure, Phillip Gaines' status is uncertain after he dislocated his left elbow Sunday.McDermott wouldn't rule out either from playing against the Vikings.As for his overall message to the team: "We all have to do our job better Super Bowl Alexander Mattison Jersey ," he said."We've got some young players out there," McDermott added. "And they're going to continue to get better, continue to grow, continue to learn."He was specifically referring to the Bills starting two rookie first-round draft picks, quarterback Josh Allen and middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds.Allen had a modestly successful first start in going 18 of 33 for 245 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions against the Chargers. Though the offense sputtered in the first half, Allen's 245 yards passing were the most by a Bills quarterback in his first NFL start since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly threw for 292 yards in a 28-24 loss to the New York Jets on Sept. 7, 1986.Edmunds has also been inconsistent.The 20-year-old has a sack and a forced fumble 鈥?Buffalo's only takeaway this season. On the downside, Edmunds has been the anchor of a defense that has surrendered 10 touchdowns 鈥?nine scored on 10 opponents' drives inside the Buffalo 20.McDermott, a former defensive coordinator, had seen enough in taking over the defense after the Bills allowed the Chargers to score touchdowns on four consecutive drives in building a 28-3 lead with 1:55 left in the first half."We're going to do whatever it takes to win Discount Alexander Mattison Jersey ," he said.McDermott hasn't decided whether he'll continue to run the defense, while stressing Frazier will still play a role."We're going to work on it together," he said. "I have a lot of confidence in Leslie Frazier."Frazier respected McDermott's decision, and noted he had to make difficult choices during his three-plus seasons as head coach in Minnesota."We owe it to our players to give us the best chance to win, whatever it may be," Frazier said.The switch showed signs of paying off. After allowing 284 yards, 17 first downs in the first half, the Bills held the Chargers to just 65 yards and four first downs over the final 30 minutes."That's a delicate balance between making sure we build upon what we saw and the positives from yesterday in the second half," McDermott said. "And that we continue to make progress."
