Therefore, you will see discussion of nearly ANY topic here. Our one rule here is: “Remember, be cool to one another”. Also, a word to the wise, don’t feed the trolls. SKOL!!!!!!

Wow, the Vikings are seven and one. Let that sink in. Nobody, not even optimists like myself, expected the team to be seven and one heading into week 10.

It doesn’t really matter how you get there, you just have to get there. Now, do I think that the Vikings can go anywhere in the in playoffs if they’re playing like they did yesterday? Nah. Do I think the Vikings will continue to get better? Well, yes. Most teams improve throughout the year, and I see the Vikings continuing to improve on both sides of the ball. As of now, the Minnesota Vikings have the second-best record in the NFL. Hoo-ah! SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t watched a ton of ManningCast (but I’ve tuned in for several) and Kirk may have been the best guest I’ve seen. Well done Big Kirko.

He’s showing well. Asking some great questions of the Manning bros and the “bling sequence” was awesome. He seems much more comfortable in his own skin than past seasons.

Agree about the offense, mostly. But I’m more impressed by the defenses progression. Makes sense it would take them more time given the scheme change but I was was really frustrated this week by the offensive lapse.

I turned to my wife a few plays before Harrison’s INT and said the D is getting ready to get a takeaway and it’s going to turn the game. They did and I had confidence the offense would put it away. But they can’t continue their 3 rd quarter ineffectiveness…it’s going to catch them at some point.

That said, this is the Kirk we’ve been waiting for the past 4 seasons. The switch from “stats don’t matter” to “only stats matter” by some fans is stupid. The team loves him and they’re winning games. Great time to be a Vikings fan, unless you’re a pansy that can’t handle a little butt hurt.

Allen being out fucks me in fantasy – could care less, traded for Cap’n Kirk at the start of the year (have JJ already, 2QB league and I think there are big games coming from both) If Allen doesn’t play and we get Keenum I like our chances as Buffalo has yet to establish a run game and if Case is forced to throw it could be a great chance for our DB’s to step up. Evans looked very good Sunday. Played physical in run support and looked fluid to me in coverage.

Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., is getting blasted by his opponent as “radical” after his wife was recorded talking to two undercover journalists about how Democrats shouldn’t talk about what’s really in the Inflation Reduction Act and how they could defund the police “quietly.”
Susan Daggett, a law professor at the University of Denver, is seen on video released Monday by Accuracy in Media, arguing that “the most successful efforts in Washington, D.C., are the ones that you never see on the front page of the paper.”
At one point in the video, Daggett agrees and laughs with the two journalists who mused about Democrats disguising a health and climate bill as the Inflation reduction act.

Commanders DT said for him to keep taking shots like that all game then step up and make that throw…I commend him. So do we take even a drop of your stupid constantly wrong bullshit here or believe the guy dishing out the punishment and was impressed by Cousins?

You complain about him being scared, timid, shitting his pants, then when he takes a beating stands in there and delivers all you got is to blame him for 7pts when the ENTIRE offense had a lull of production in a game that was a defensive battle.

You are such a soft fucking fraud.

A. Football, players get hurt. He was torqued up getting ready to throw and a DT hit his hand at just the right moment.

B. Allen is a physical player, he’s going to bang and stand in there and eventually get hurt.

It won’t be the sweep republicans had in 2010 but it will be a republican gain likely in both the house and senate. It’s all based on the economy which dictates the outcome and we haven’t had this level of inflation and cost of good since the 2008 housing crash.

Fact: average in-party midterm losses since 1934: 28 House seats and 4 Senate seats.

I have yet to hear a convincing argument for why Dems will do significantly better than average this year, especially taking into account 8% inflation & Biden approval in low 40s.

O’Connell still has a lot to learn about coaching and the players still have a lot to learn about the new schemes. KOC keeps preaching about something to the effect of focusing on the little things.

Jets created some good film for Bills opponents, but I think part of the problem with Buffalo was being overly aggressive and hurting themselves.

If they take the Vikings seriously and can avoid trying to make a “statement”, they ought to wear Minnesota down and put the game away during the 3rd quarter, IMO

I wanted the Vikings to play the opponents starting quarterbacks with all the players healthy and at the opponents stadium. But the more I think about it, playing the backups and winning is Ok for now. The players are still learning how to play this scheme and the coaches are still learning how to coach. Everything is still new.

I expected the run game to be miserable, but I expected more success through the air.

That said, it was pretty awesome to move the ball in the 4th and for Harrison Smith to grab that INT and return it something like 30 yards. He looks TERRIBLE running with the ball, but that was a pretty long return for him.
