Minnesota Vikings Discussion-Back Page: 20 Dec 2022

Merry Tuesday, everyone, and welcome to Skoloholics! Join us for Minnesota Vikings talk, Vikings news, 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 daily back page, which is wide open. 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!!!!!!

One more day removed from Saturday’s magnificent comeback victory, and our thoughts begin to turn to the Giants game next Saturday. This is another game where the Vikings seem to match up well against the opponent. The rush D will have their work cut out for them as they go up against Saquon Barkley and the Giants rushing attack. Hopefully our secondary can continue the momentum they built with solid play in the Colts game and keep it going against the Giants. If so, we could see good things on Saturday.

For just one game, it would be nice to get an easy win. Is that too much to ask? We’ll find out in a few short days. SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Minnesota Vikings News:

Final score and highlights from last night’s Packers-Rams MNF game, courtesy of ESPN, and here are all of the NFL week 15 scores and highlights.

Skoldiers handed out his week 16 report card: Vikings vs. Colts.

We posted the Vikings vs. Colts PFF Viking team grades.

At Vikings.com, watch Vikings vs. Colts film with HC Kevin O’Connell.

Video of the Day:

Here’s a great bit from one of the best comedians of all time, Mr. George Carlin. I had the opportunity to see George Carlin live in Bismarck back in 1992. This is George Carlin, so NSFW LANGUAGE!

Was referring to the cavalcade of QBs 2,3 and so forth that have donned purple jerseys. Was not aware that this included you? Sorry for not understanding that…

Makes a lot of sense actually… I worked in a restaurant that had an older waitress that had made videos to make some extra money in her younger and assumably better looking days. By the time I met her, she was a crabby old bitty who absolutely loathed young women because they had put her out of business…

So the root cause of the KC hatred is not particularly due to him, it is because he is younger and can still throw a football?

Yeah but if the refs are going to allow it to happen why wouldn’t you? If you don’t find the line, keep pushing until you do and then back off but not until then. A ref or two that turns a blind eye might need to get run over while somebody runs a route. Hockenson across the middle into the back judge would suffice.

That reminds me of a movie where a cat kills everyone on a yacht. Man…what is that called…must resist urge to consult Google. Must fight dementia and try to recall on own…Uninvited, I think…

I can check Google now that I came up with a title on my own.

Yep, Uninvited from 1987 with George Kennedy. Bad movie but kind of a fun bad movie because it is so wonky.

Also, Uninvited is a good song by Alanis Morrisette. Take that dementia! I can still recall useless information!

Yeah, just try teaching a cat to cast back and forth 20 yards ahead of you in calf high snow, busting through cattails, then let you know with a vigorous tail wag they are on a pheasant, followed by locking up ten feet from the pheasant, sit on the flush, mark the downed bird, retrieve the downed bird, and drop it in your hand.

The steps required to reach that point are numerous but trust me the bond that creates that isn’t about low self esteem.

Cats are simply parasites.

I have access to both, so I got it covered either way. Today is a cat day.

I like the challenge of trying to tame and catch them. The ones we have out at the farm are half wild, and I have slowly been building their trust. I have never seen cats this hard to tame. I think it is because they are getting only dry cat food. We always gave cats (and dogs) table scraps growing up.

Dry food just doesn’t have the same bribing ability with half-wild cats. I get better results if I bring them warm, real food. They then allow me to furtively brush against them. Soon, though…they will be caught and gratuitously petted!

Yeah, it’s funny, my older Lab always goes under the barbed wire fence so as to not deposit inside his “territory”…first two times the new Lab just pooped on the compound side but pretty soon figured out the same thing. I was actually hoping he wouldn’t figure out how to traverse the barbed wire fences until after this cold snap (as he hadn’t been introduced to cows, and I didn’t want to stand out there keeping an eye on him). However, just this morning he walked off lead through the thick of the cattle and just kept looking at me as I gave him the “I’m watching you” hand signal.

Matters 100%, you get to have linemen downfield if the ball is caught behind the LOS. The trade off is there is no pass interference. So you could go murder a receiver if he’s waiting for the ball in the air if he’s behind the LOS because lineman can be down field. At least that is my understanding at the HS level. I think it’s the same in the Pros.

I’m like 99% sure about you can have linemen down field. That’s just the basics of the screen game BUT not sure about the pass interference. Let me know what you find. Curious.

You’re right…ineligible receiver down field only applies to forward passes (beyond the line of scrimmage).

Not sure about PI though.

20 December 2022 12:19 pm

I don’t think so…From what I can see in High School and College you can block downfield if the ball is completed behind the line of scrimmage, but not in the NFL…
I believe it should have been a penalty…

SECTION 1

ARTICLE 6. INELIGIBLE RECEIVERS

All offensive players other than those identified in Article 5 above are ineligible to catch a legal or illegal forward pass thrown from behind the line of scrimmage, including:

a) Players who are not on either end of their line or at least one yard behind it when the ball is snapped.

b) Offensive players wearing numbers 50–79, unless they have reported a change in their eligibility status to the Referee and have assumed a position on their line or in their backfield as required by Article 5;

c) Players who fail to notify the Referee of being eligible when required;

It doesn’t really answer the question though of whether or not they can be blocking downfield on a pass completed behind the line of scrimmage.

Edgecrusher71
Reply to  skolifer
20 December 2022 12:20 pm

I think the idea is that’s the trade off. Because blockers can be downfield impeding your path to the receiver that makes the receiver eligible to be hit. But again, not sure in pros. The thing is no matter how many times in HS I’ve told a DB to watch for that quick bubble screen to just go light him up, they never get there before the ball anyway. Maybe right after or if they do get there they are jumping it for a pick.

Just sharing some tunes I’ve done from the past. Sure I’ll catch some hell for putting myself out there (I expect nothing less from this crew lol love it) but these 3 tracks mean a lot to me. Wrote them when going through some tough shit a while back on my mom’s 1968 Gibson ES-335 which is a semi-hollowbody guitar. It’s the same type of guitar Clapton used… I wanted to see if I could make that guitar make heavy rock/metal. It really did work well. Rough Mixes because they aren’t finished products. Hope to get someone to add vocals at some point in time. One track has a friend doing the lead-work as I am more of a rhythm guy. Not currently in a band so it’s just fun to be able to share. If anyone cares, cool, if not, also cool lol.

Thanks! Yeah I am not a lead guy but I do fancy myself as a decent rhythm player. I write shit in odd timings not on purpose, just works out that way. Sometimes I’m not even aware of it until I’m writing the drums and I’m like, shit, this isn’t 4/4. This current song I am working on right now the main riff is a set of 9 followed by a set of 10. Really odd but again, it doesn’t sound as odd as it should. This one is much heavier. It’s in drop A.

Reply to  Edgecrusher71
20 December 2022 11:52 am

Very cool! And yeah, I am assuming you’re writing this by playing it which IMO makes it much easier to learn a song in “odd time” by feel. Repeat a phrase enough, or make it long enough, and it doesn’t feel/sound as odd as it might look on paper. Plus, with how prog metal really took over the scene in the 90’s I think anyone who is a fan just intrinsically noodles or writes songs that have time changes or odd signatures because that’s so prevalent. Almost has become natural for that genre.

A bit off topic genre-wise, but one of my favorite jazz songs I’ve ever played has a couple 7/4 sections that looked like hell on the sheet music, but after we listened to the song it made so much more sense. Almost feels like double time, which flows better when jumping from 4/4 to 7/4.

Starts around 1:40

Oh killer, I’ll have to check that out! I think rhythm wise the bands that put me in awe at times are Rush, Meshuggah, Gojira, and Mastodon. All of them at times but Meshuggah always. They are just a study in rhythm basically.

Reply to  Edgecrusher71
20 December 2022 12:33 pm

I initially mentioned Rush as an inspiration because though other prog bands might have done odd time first (actually the Beatles in Sgt Pepper tho), they really felt like me to be the OG for prog metal because of Neil Peart’s insanity on the set along with those odd times.

I’m not very into the heavy sound of those metal bands, but I do have a lot of respect for the musicality. Some of the Tool/Dream Theater stuff in that genre is amazing to me.

I’ve had a cough for nearly a month (got it shortly after Thanksgiving), and it’s not letting up. It was accompanied by other symptoms (fatigue, soreness, stiffness, headache, congestion), but for the last couple of weeks it’s just congestion and cough.

Lot of dry coughing (non-productive), but I took a small box worth of expectorant (recommended daily dosage over three days) and that seemed to change the cough to productive, but I finished the medicine a couple days ago and the cough persists.

So the former homeowners texted about the packages last night, asked me to bring them to the next door neighbors so they could pick them up.

Said along the lines of “I made a decision to get them returned as quickly as possible for the refund to process, since I figured you weren’t too keen on communicating with me.”
Also suggested they start forwarding their USPS mail, to which he said they had already. Well the 6 or 7 Christmas cards I’ve gotten say otherwise…

Morning Skolhols.
Rough day yesterday.
Results of my stress test came back.
I’ve had a heart attack.
Meet with the cardiologist Thursday.
Just trying to lay low, stay calm.
One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do was tell my beautiful wife.
The look of terror, disbelief and sadness on her face is one I’ll never forget.
The thought of her being left alone is devastating.
Save your prayers – I don’t say that to be flippant, I put myself here and there are others more deserving.
Your thoughts I’ll take.
Gotta step back for a while, I’ll be lurking a bit, but my priorities took a major shift yesterday.
I can hear the clock ticking.
Take care of yourselves boys (and Kathy)

The worst, especially in Minny. My mom died Dec 6th as did her SIL (her brother’s wife who she was close to). Was freezing all of those and all of them are buried at Ft Snelling. My mom’s dad died the day after Christmas when she was 14 so it was always a bittersweet time and their anniversary was NYE too. Live each day to the fullest, take no shit, do what you want to do.

Hoping my next trip there is delayed a few years. Got a great-uncle “Chunk” who served in Korea, just broke his hip and then his arm in a couple of falls within a month’s time. They ended up proving that the nurse who was supposed to be watching him stepped away for the first fall, so they got something out of that anyway.
But he’s doing much better physically, even though the dementia is setting in.

Hope he sticks around for a while. Great, great man.

We finally got mom moved into a house where she doesn’t have to go up and down steps all the time, so that helps.

I need to figure out a way to solve the falling problem when I get old. I’ve got a long way to fall at 6’7!

I remember my step-uncle calling me one morning about 20 years ago because he fell. I had to go there and help him up. He was caught between the bed and the bedside table, his urine bottle spilled all over him, and he simply could not get up.

He had a good humor about it, though, at least.

So one of my memories of my childhood and teen years…we would go to the mall so my mom could shop…she could spend an hour in a store, try on lots of stuff, and not buy one thing…rinse, repeat.

My dad and I would sit outside the store in the mall hallway, he would make an imaginary end zone connecting the end of the bench with “that pillar”…as innocent women would sequentially pass enter the end zone on their way to Zellers they in alternating turn would become “his” or “mine”. A lot of “uh oh, looking bad for you son” and “no no I think that beauty is going to beat her in the race to the end zone”.

A little warped but it did pass the time.

Actually much of the time we would go to Southgate…I believe that was Edmonton’s first mall. WEM was bananas back at Christmas…another one of those nostalgic things, in college we would take the bus, head to WEM, do some Christmas shopping, go to one of the 36 movie theaters, etc…I am not exaggerating when I say the halls were packed with people, like cattle herded into a chute, felt like if you fell to the floor you would be trampled to death. Saw a newscast about Rimrock mall in Billings this year, looks like a ghost town, two walkers in this long hallway. Different times I guess.

I think puke or lions nab the 7th seed. I think Wash and gnats drop a few

I think Seahawks are more likely than the Packers

Lions/Seahawks/Giants/Pronouns – those four contain the 6th and 7th seeds IMO

2 game losing streak can’t continue too much longer. Chiefs looked vulnerable against the Texans. Did you know the Colts beat the Chiefs?

if packers win out they’re 9-8
if pronouns lose one and win the other two they’re 9-7-1

so washington has to lose two games, right? Seems like they’ll win in week 18 since they’re be playing the Cowboys who will likely be resting starters. and they host the Browns in week 17.

Kirk Cousins 417 passing yards in the second half/overtime versus the #Colts is the most passing yards a QB has thrown for in a second half/overtime in #NFL history. https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f92f.svg

Was the 43 passing yards in the first half the worst in NFL history?

I just remember a tweet that said they averaged 2.something inches per play in the 2nd half, and being flabbergasted.

I see Purple worked out a CFL guy Monday, Nathan Rourke. Haven’t heard anything. Kirk is only one under contract next year. Mullens signed for this year.
