Happy Monday, everyone, and welcome to Skoloholics! Join us as we discuss the latest Minnesota Vikings news, Minnesota Vikings updates, news from around the NFL, and virtually any other topic. On this site, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, you should join us! This is the open thread, which is……open. Therefore, you will see discussion of nearly ANY topic here. Our one rule here is: “Remember, be cool to one another”. SKOL!!!!!!

LOL. Wow, that game. Leave it to the Vikings to make you feel negative after a win. I’m not. 2-1 is better than 1-2, a win is a win, and if this team can get some things in order, they can still make some noise. THAT BEING SAID, let’s talk about our concerns regarding this team.

I’m a fan of looking back on things to see what you did right, wrong, and to find other lessons to learn. In the army, we called it an after-action review. It’s used in business a lot as well, and I’m guessing most of us do something like this. Let’s look back on the game.

What we did right:

The rushing game was working when we used it, Cook was running very well and the O-line was opening up running lanes. The O-line also had a good game against a revamped Lions pass rush that is pretty damn good, they gave Cousins enough time all night and the running backs had huge holes in which to run. The defense, after a horrendous first quarter, got it figured out toward the end and held strong when they needed to, and they got the save as they helped the team to secure the W. Cousins hit a few solid throws, but man, he had that Beavis face and he was playing tight the whole game.

Areas of Concern:

Defense: The defense in the first half was atrocious. Our pass coverage is laughable, it seems like receivers have 5 yard cushions around them where no defender is allowed. The run defense is pourous, and it seems like opposing runners have a 5 yard buffer zone and we aren’t allowed to touch them until they hit that 5 yard mark. Wow. It’s bad. Teams don’t even think about punting against us anymore. Why would you? You’re pretty much guaranteed 5 yards, so if you have fewer than that to go, there is absolutely no reason to punt against this defense when they’re playing like they were in the first half.

Offense: Cousins was off for most of the game. He had that Beavis face that he gets when he’s in spaz mode, and he had that face on all game yesterday. His accuracy was way off, he was indecisive, and his great throws were too infrequent. He finally started finding other receivers after the Lions threw everything they had at stopping JJ. We finally saw Adam Thielen in this game, and then KJ Osbourne made an appearance at the end to come in and save the day.

The Vikings have allowed ZERO 4th quarter points in the first 3 games.

I found that interesting. They still suck in many areas but shows there is effort if nothing else.

The bulk of my life has consisted of hiking and camping in somewhat uncharted territory, where I really don’t know the local bear levels.

I’ve usually carried a pump shotgun with 3″ mag slugs.

Looking forward to the hot Underwood 220 grain hard cast bullets for the 10mm. On the 2nd shot they’ll probably flip the short-barrel compact back so I can add another hole to my schnozz.

Finished our fencing project on Saturday. My wife’s ex had the coolest attachments for his skid steer, a big hammer device that you slip an 80 inch long piece of 2 3/4″ pipe into and it goes bang bang bang driving it into the ground (anchor posts) and then another attachment kinda like a jackhammer you put the smaller metal posts you clip the barbed wire to into and ratchets them down. Big time saver. For the use of his skidsteer, attachments, and operator time (including the 13 year old grandson running the jackhammer thing) and pulling up some old wooden power poles he charged us $133 which goes into the grandson’s lathe fund. Good deal.

My poor baby soft hands are all cut up from the wire. I learned about deadman posts to hold wire down in swales when I had a wire pull a pole straight out of the ground like a bowstring and burrow into the hypothenar eminence of my gloved hand. Still hurts like a mofo.

Goats are amongst the dumbest mammals known. They will eat inedible things while avoiding the lush grass. They strangle themselves with a rope. They devise ways to get out of their pens and climb on rooftops.

Someone up in Hillcrest has a bunch of goats, they are always getting out and making the rounds of people’s flowerbeds and such over there. Good thing they are so cute or they’d be ded.

I had some doofus riding my bumper as I was sailing into town last week. Right next to the lake (surprise!) I spotted a buck in the trees right next to the road and could see he wanted to jump out right in front of me. As he jumped up on the shoulder I was on the binders, but the deer thought better and turned back down into the ditch. Meanwhile the doofus behind me was within three feet of my bumper, hope he learned his lesson.

Came back from Canoe Girl’s last night around 8, and there’s a guy riding my bumper on 101, maybe a legit 15 feet behind, at 65mph, in the right lane.

Tired of it, so pull into left lane to see if he passes me up, which was nice of me because I was about ready to stand on the brakes instead, and send his little car into car heaven, and of course I see him furiously texting as as he passes me up.

Also, even if you take drugs out of the conversation, the notion that mental health professionals can help everyone is false. Just one example, we now know that pedophiles can NOT be rehabilitated. There are also examples of where they could help, but don’t, such as young socially awkward girls who are self-conscious about puberty, but are encouraged to transition to boys.

Heck yes. The Saints have scored 13 combined points in the first three quarters through three games. Jameis Winston produced his 28th career multi-interception game in Sunday’s 22-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers (LOL), but the interceptions had far less bearing on the result than an early Alvin Kamara fumble, a blocked field goal, and a series of penalty-exacerbated first-half three-and-outs. When Winston’s turnovers aren’t your team’s primary problem, you have some real problems.

This makes sense.
I was at the SF preseason game and he’s very fast, and made a nice play along the sidelines to break up a pass.
He was also out of position on a 20ish yard pass.
I wouldn’t say he’s bad, but not up to starting right now.
But then again, not a lot of safeties or CBs are right out of college.

I’ve thought from the beginning it was a mistake to give Wilson a contract like that. At a reasonable price for a short term place holder it might have been OK. To be fair, he’s not being helped by his coach at all. Not sure if it’s true they hired Hackett hoping it would lure Rodgers, but he has been a disaster so far.
