Happy Gameday, and welcome to Skoloholics, your home for Minnesota Vikings Discussion. Everyday you can join us for Minnesota Vikings news, Minnesota Vikings talk, NFL news and updates, and all of those other things that you 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. As always, remember to be cool to one another.
I know the weekend thread never got started, and Brad must still be slacking off, so here is the gameday open thread for all our rants. I am expecting a convincing win by the Vikings. I am golfing this morning but bailing after 9 holes to come home and yell at the TV. Thankfully this game is not on some obscure streaming service.
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.
- Twitter-sized version: be cool to one another.
Watching Zimmer vs Stefanski now, still very much enjoying our convincing win today. SKOL!
Can we play Daniel Jones every week?
I vote yes… grin.
Anyone watch the end of the Falcons game?
I did, ended in typical Kirk fashion, I have to say.
I did. It made me feel happy that I wasn’t watching Kirk anymore. And I didn’t even mind watching him before.
Think Kirko was like:
16/26
155 yards
1 TD
2 INT
I love it. Loss at home.
That 8 yard pass on 3rd and 11.
That was so much fun, I think I’ll go fishing.
I had a lot of fun watching that game.
I’m glad I’m not a Panthers fan.
STRIKE UP THE BAND!
Love an opening day win!
Next week we get SF.
We can beat them – we did last year.
Later for that, enjoy the day!
Everything is better with a win!
Bears win 24-17 without an offensive TD.
C. Williams was 14/29 for 92 yards.
And a 55.7 QBR.
@impressive@
Reminds me of the year they went to the playoffs with Trubisky as quarterback, I’m pretty sure their defense had more touchdowns than their offense that year
Definitely an odd scoring game for the Bears, but a win is a win.
Bears get a win with less than 150 yards of offense. That sucks.
We are currently leading our division
Victory formation is nice to see.
Fantastic game on both offense and defense. Looking SO good today!
😂 😆
Darnold with the QB sneak, 1st down Vikings. Noice.
Aaron Jones is a beast. I haven’t been able to compliment him as he’s been a Packer before now. Wow.
Dude is unreal. Looks really good.
Over 100 rushing yards as a team. Love to see that.
Aaron Jones is 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% better than that Alexander Mattison experiment
He’s a beast
Is the FTP stench all off of him?
They must have hosed him down quite a few times to get that off of him.
‘hosed him down’ with purple kool-aid maybe.
Amen
He has always been able to turn a loss into a gain.
Too much damn crying on commercials anymore.
But we need more victims.
Woke is all about everyone being a vicim.
They have a commercial for Anderson windows up here, got some lady crying on it.
Windows. Like, for a house.
😂
He gets us
Are you sure it’s a he?
I didn’t actually see what Brad was referring to haha
4th and 7 at the 8 coming up.
awww
incomplete, still 28-6.
Byron Murphy, nice pass breakup.
That was a thing of beauty.
Is it just me, or does it feel weird not suffering a minor heart attack in the 4th.
#nojinx
Very refreshing. This was a dominant performance so far.
@I kinda miss the run, run, run, punt offense whenever we have a small lead@
The offense can’t have lulls like this again a good team.
Yup. And, they need to put teams away early if possible. Pedal to the metal.
Fat boy punter sucks
WTH, 26 yards?
Need to look for a new punter, maybe.
Isn’t the ASU kid that was charge with sexual assault, still available?
He should be, as far as I know.
The Punt God?
Nope, plays for KC
He must be an excellent holder because he can’t punt.
First down. Keep the clock rolling
Great pass to move the sticks
Hitman! INT!
Hitman working that wheelchair
Hitman with the Int on 4th down in the redzone.
Great work for an old guy.
Wrenage, will be excited to see this.
Wrenage has a thing for geriatric patients.
Rec for excellent gif usage
#oldguysmattertoo
35th career pick !!!
SKOL
HITMAN!!!!!
Hitman with the pick
Sherfield doing his best Akayleb Evans interpretation
Darnold Int.
@not his fault@
Dammit Treadwell!
One more? Yeah, one more TD. Do it.
I second this.
Third
The Giants fans are getting restless.
Gnats getting ready to punt.
VG and cashman have been very good today
Jones seeing ghosts
Great start to the season!!!! So awesome!!!!
Massively fun to watch! Team looks much improved. gnats suck, though.
Takes some of the sting out of losing Hunter.
Who?
That guy…….used to do the thing…….
Oh, THAT guy!
Van Ginkel!
HERE WE GO BOYS!!!!!!
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!

AND OUR KICKER IS STILL PERFECT (yse this is a duplicate comment and I want to make it
#nojinx
In good news for the Giants, Daniel Jones threw a TD.
Bad news, the pass was to the Vikings.
28-3 Vikings.
😂
lol!
I should have taken the Vikings in a survival pool. Didn’t have the stones to do it.
Yup, me too. I thought about it. I think I went with the Bengals. I’m pretty sure I picked them in week one last year & got eliminated. You’d think I’d learn
Watched him do that last year as a Dolphin against Washington!
Holy shit. Van Ginkel!
Pick 6 on a screen pass.
Wow!
Van Gink!!!!!
WHAT
