Good Morning!
It’s time for our weekly mailbag here at Skoloholics. As always our staff will research your questions about the Vikings, NFL or life in general with a well thought out mediocre answer.
For salary cap questions I’ll continue using overthecap.com so I’m consistent with the numbers.
Any trades involving draft picks I’m using the updated NFL Trade Value Chart developed by Rich Hill available at https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart-Rich-Hill.asp
For evaluating or looking up draft prospects or rookies my go to is thedraftnetwork.com
If I can’t come up with what I think is a legitimate answer, I’ll ask someone who I think can provide one.
If you’re on Twitter, and you have a question about the Vikings, the draft, fantasy football, or life in general, tweet us a question with #Skoloholicsmailbag or you can dm me on Twitter (Rob@DN1). If you do, please let me know what your username at Skoloholics is unless I already know it. You can also leave your question as a mention in either Twitter account.
Preferably, you can leave a comment in this post, I’ll revisit it later in the week.
Cutoff for questions will be Thursday morning, expect the mailbag to post that afternoon depending on what I have going on in real life.
On the Skoloholics home page, why is there a link to “more recent posts” when they clearly are the older ones?
Given the possibility of no Josh Allen, do the Vikes get another “tainted” win against our old friend Case Keenan if he is indeed out?
So far we have seen a nice progression of improvement from the D, but not so much from the offense. With a gifted group of weapons, as well as a few obvious holes (did someone say right guard), are we at the stage of “what we see is what we get” or will the offense start to gel, if so what game?
If the Vikings go 1-3 over the next four games, will the fanbase still be hyped about what could happen in the playoffs?
Should the team dial back their public celebrating after barely eeking out a win over teams they should have dominated? The latest videos show them just shy of popping champagne. I’d hate to see them get crushed by someone and lose their vibe, like someone coming down off a major sugar high, be unable to recover from it and spin off a series of losses.
In the past, the humble underdog role has made for a better presence.
Or am I just victim of seeing them for so many years without a good reason to celebrate?
What are the Vikings odds both statistically at this moment and your gut feeling Vikings nab the first overall seed for playoffs?
Ben slid into my DM’s on Twitter with a question: The Vikings appear to be a good team but were not competitive in the one game they played against a decent team (hard to evaluate the Miami game with the third string string QB/injured Teddy). The fast start is great but this team feels a bit like the 2003 team. Do you think Justin fields can channel his inner Josh McCown and make a last second play to beat the Vikings on last game of the season and make Paul Allen scream “NO, NO… there are Minnesota Vikings crying on the field!” or do they make the playoffs only to lose in embarrassing fashion?
Ben is super duper crabby these days.
Fixed it
Skol!
