Vikings Discussion & Random Thoughts

I hope everyone had a fun and enjoyable weekend. We stuck around the house for the most part, did a lot of cleaning and organizing. It was long overdue. My fantasy team sucked, Derby is beating me like a rented step-child, or is that a red-headed mule? One of those. I’m obviously losing, he saved me the trouble of having even a shred of hope heading into tonight’s games.

We have a Vikings game to look forward to this week, thankfully. The Vikings host the hated Eagles on Sunday, and it’s a noon kickoff, which is rare these days for the team. There have been lots of prime time games and the two overseas games, it’ll be nice to have a normal one. I hope they can find a way to give Philly another loss. The Eagles defense isn’t what it was last year, teams are finding weaknesses. The Eagles offense can put up some yards & points, but Jalen Hurts is not a strong passer of the football, if the Vikings defense can contain Hurts and prevent big runs, the Vikings should have a good chance of winning. I don’t know, I’m always nervous about these post-bye weeks, we tend to crap the bed in those, although KOC has mostly broken that “curse” since arriving.

Vikings and NFL News

The Vikings QB question for Sunday, and there’s no clear answer as of now, per Yahoo Sports. Neither Wentz nor McCarthy are 100% recovered from their injuries, so the guy who is the least injured will get the nod. Kinda reminds you of high school when the guy who was the least hammered drove the car home. Either that or rookie Max Brosmer will get his first start.

From Sports Illustrated, the NFL acknowledged the obvious, that a Will Reichard kick hit a camera wire during the Vikings-Browns game in London last week, and officials somehow managed to not see it. Even though they acknowledged the error, they said they will NOT make a statistical change to account for the error. NFL: “We screwed up, we admit that, we just won’t admit it”. Nice.

In their Monday Mailbag, Vikings.com takes a look at the aforementioned Will Reichard kick and peak ahead at the Eagles game.

Dan Campbell commented on Brian Branch’s post-game violence, calling it “inexcusable”, per NFL.com. In case you didn’t see it, Branch threw a punch at JuJu Smith-Schuster AFTER last night’s game.

Media Selection

The New York Post shares some video footage of Mark Sanchez on the night he got stabbed. Hey, at least this incident might help get the focus off of the butt-fumble.

Thread Guidelines

• Keep politics to a minimum. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.
• Be respectful and civil. You don’t need to agree with everyone, you also don’t need to make it personal. Attack the argument, not the poster.
• Keep the NSFW language/pictures to a minimum. We don’t want anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
• To summarize, behave like adults. Treat each other with respect, and things will be fine. Mods will take out content they feel is pushing the boundary. If you want to reach out about something, please do. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here, just be civil.
• Twitter sized version: Be cool to one another.
