Happy Thorsday, everyone, and welcome to Skoloholics, your home for Minnesota Vikings Discussion! Every day you can join us for the latest Minnesota Vikings news, lots of Minnesota Vikings talk, also NFL news and updates, and most anything else you may have on your mind. At Skoloholics, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, sign up and join the conversation.
There isn’t much out there to talk about. The Vikings signed CB Kelvin Joseph (details & links below), who was drafted in the 2nd round by Dallas in 2021. He hasn’t seen much time on the field, other than on special teams, and has bounced around the league a bit since being drafted. Hopefully the Vikings can get more out of him than other teams have been able to. With Gilmore’s injury potentially keeping him out of a game or two, the additional depth can’t hurt. You never know, he might be a diamond in the rough, but I won’t hold my breath.
Vikings News
From Vikings.com, your Vikings vs. Falcons week 14 injury report.
From Totalprosports, the Vikings have signed CB Kelvin Joseph. Stephon Gilmore has a hamstring injury, and could miss time, so the Vikings are preparing for his possible absence.
NFL News
Your NFL week 14 injury tracker, from CBS Sports.
Trevor Lawrence will go on IR and will undergo shoulder surgery, per NFL.com. Also at NFL.com, Azeer Al-Shaair’s 3-game suspension has been upheld on appeal. The appeal was heard by the same organization who gave him the suspension, which is one of many senseless NFL policies.

My fellow nerds will find this one interesting. Enjoy!
Thread Guidelines
- Keep politics out. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down the rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.
- Be cool to one another. Like it says above, just be civil. You don’t need to agree with everyone and that’s fine, you also don’t need to make it personal. Attack the argument not the poster.
- Keep the NSFW to a minimum. We don’t need anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
- All in all, be 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 feel free to ask. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here, just be civil.
- Twitter sized version: Be cool to one another
Nope, it be Friday
Last nights game was like kissing your sister.
I’ve never kissed my sister, what’s it like?
I too am asking this question.
It is a lot like last night’s game…
It’s like drinking non-alcoholic beer. Sure it tastes the same, but that shit just ain’t right.
Down go FTP,
I can’t mad.
Bills fans next week
Ok, so the positive is we don’t have to worry about FTP anymore.
Glad to see the officials will let other teams bash the heads of QBs not named Darnold.
Dammit FTP! Can’t count on them to do anything to help the Vikings out.
Was a good game. Vikes just gotta keep winning and let things fall into place.
Close one
Ballsy call but it worked. That’s what they do.
Could miss the fg, a tie would be fun
Loins lucky
Dumbass move by Campbell, it paid off.
Gonna get my overtime?
Will Campbell go for it?
He’s dumb enough
Told ya
No first!
I think we have the better defense of the 3 teams after watching this game.
Yup
I don’t think this is a first down
Ha!
3rd down, big play here.
Loins penalty. Undisciplined, common with a Campbell team.
1st down puts the Loins in the drivers seat at the 2 minute warning.
31-31. These two vaunted defenses aren’t so great tonight.
Offenses are just better?
I’m gonna go with they’re defenses suck and Sam will tear them up in a couple weeks.
I hope so
I think Campbell will do something stupid to lose this one for the Loins.
Peckers gonna go for a fg for the tie.
Only 3:38 to go in the 4th.
Suspect Loins going to get a FG.
Gonna be a fun finish
Loins need a stop
Jacobs almost had a td catch
Listening to Herc Kirbstreet, you’d think the Lions are the only team in NFL history who’ve had injuries
Shoot out going on.
See-saw, gonna come down to who scores last
Loins back up. 31-28.
Give Gibbs the ball
Jacobs again, holy shit.
What is the FF points record?
Not sure, Jacobs at 24.4 so far
A lot more. Kamara had like 50 against us.
Loins went for it on their own 31 on 4th and 1.
Lost a yard, now FTP are threatening.
End of the 3rd qtr.
Campbell, dumbass. Herc Kirbstreet trying to excuse his dumbassery.
That stuff is great if it works.
Otherwise not so much.
Those dumbass decisions are the decisions that cause losses in the playoffs.
Gibbs not on the field, I have no one to root for.
Lions TD, 24-21 Loins.
Going to be the last team with the ball?
That’s how it’s looking
Jacobs another TD.
You’re killing it with your backs, 3 tuddys with lots of time to go. I have Kraft so I’ll take the points.
Pick by the Peckers, Jordan’s Love trying to go ahead
Just did.
More FF points for you.
So, I was listening to the talking heads on bspn this morning and they talk about Love being this great qb. Am I missing something?
They’re pre-programmed to fawn over the Packers.
Yeah, after damn near 30 years of all pro play at qb, those lucky bastards CAN’T hit on another one.
I’ll be pissed, hoping he crashes & burns.
Lions are dirty ass holes, lots of cheap shots.
4th and 2, TD Loins.
Brass Balls.
I have Jacobs and Gibbs on my FF team, I’m just rooting for rushing TDs
There you go, doesn’t have to be a run!
Great half for my ff team.
That’s a pretty good duo that you’ve got.
I did well at RB, I also have James Conner from AZ, he’s one of my flex guys.
I am getting destroyed again this week….
Go Lions!

The Packers suck
Really?
I didn’t know.
Please say it loud and proud and often.
Lions getting preferential treatment, Packers learning how it feels to be on the other end of it.
Acting job by Lions O lineman
Lafleur challenge no good.
Green Bay’s vaunted defense, almost got in the way of Detroit scoring n the opening drive.
I have a new computer monitor. I may have to turn down the brightness.
Turn the blue light /night light feature on in windows too. Thank me later.
Our Injury Report for today.
LOVE that movie
No idea what movie it is. This one made me giggle and then cry a little
Your first post is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino’s last movie. Very good. This one is Saving Private Ryan.
I knew the second one. Never saw the other one.
Highly recommend. Its not an action movie and its longer but its a very good story with VERY entertaining dialogue and characters and the ending is super entertaining. Make your self some drink and watch it one night.
rec for loving that movie….
I also love that movie
