It is Monday, and while it may not feel as such, it is technically a victory Monday after the Vikings beat the Raiders 3-0 last night. 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.

Well, the Vikings “won” yesterday in what was the ugliest game I’ve ever seen. Offensive ineptitude at that level in today’s game is absolutely inexcusable, by both teams.
Minnesota Vikings Discussion Topic of the Day
Jefferson returned for about 20 minutes before getting hit hard in the torso and ultimately being taken to the hospital, he was released and flew home with his team. How will the team play the next 4 games if he isn’t able to play? Also, after that pathetic performance KOC still wouldn’t rule out playing Dobbs and didn’t name a starter moving forward, should Dobbs play another snap this season if Hall and Mullens are healthy?
Minnesota Vikings News:
The Vikings have always been record breakers when it comes to futility, well they went ahead and broke the record for the lowest scoring indoor game in history Sunday, at least they won I guess.
Here’s the clip of JJ’s injury, throwing high over the middle will get your WRs killed, this ball placement is similar to the play where KJ got concussed a few weeks ago
Here’s a recap from the Raiders perspective, apparently they are also considering a QB change and Davonte Adams is apparently very unhappy.
Zulgad asks why did it take so long to bench Dobbs?
I genuinely hate the stupid defensive end zone celebrations, but the keg stand Sunday was spectacular
In unrelated news, Zach Wilson was unbelievable in the Jets 30-6 rout of Houston after his first start since his most latest benching
Mahomes poops on Josh Allen’s victory party after the Bills 20-17 win in KC. KC lost on an obvious offsides call at the end. Here’s the clip of Mahomes and the obvious offsides.
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 and cool to one another.
Gotta close for the night. I have a lot on my plate the next four days, and I need my beauty sleep.
SKOL
enjoyed it.
Have a good one.
If the Vikings win out, they’re the NFC North Champs again. Big “if” but it’s there.
HUGE if.
It’s a good thing to be in control of your playoff destiny.
seizing the opportunity is another story.
Viking Fan will as always….
Hope for the best but expect the worst.
Yup. Exception for me was 98. By week 12 didn’t think they could be beat.
I was in the same place in Jan 70 just before the SB with Kansas City.
Lost bet with my Uncle.
Learned my lesson, no more betting on the Vikings.
So you’re sayin there’s a chance…
Absolutely. Detroit has Denver and Dallas left aside from us – both capable of beating them. Even if we lose to Cincinnati I think we’ll be okay if we can sweep the last 3.
No ‘givens’ in the NFL this year.
An ‘any given sunday’ type of thing.
BTW, Cousins said on the broadcast that he was told his recovery would be like the stockmarket, some up’s and some down’s but sreadily moving up. “So far with me, it’s been a Bull market” Cousins said. “I just get better every day.”
This won’t be a 9 month to a year recovery for Cousins.
But he won’t be healed by the end of the NFL year.
He won’t be able to pass a physical.
The 2024 season begins on 13 March. Yeah he could still make that.
9-12 months for an Achilles.
Not going to be able to pass a physical in March.
Rodgers is practicing about 90 days after his rupture. True he had the “speed bridge” procedure and Cousins did not, but I think Cousins will be fine. He’s going to be a free agent, and he’ll be ready to play game one in September for sure. So I don’t think passing a physical in March means anything.
Not particularly interested in what the Attention Whore says, does, claims.
Don’t believe he is ‘practicing’. Publicity stunt to get even more attention.
he was cleared Wednesday to practice.
Why can’t the Vikings have a back up QB like that Devito kid. He’s playing better than Jones, and cheap.
We might have one in Hall.
Won’t know until they play him.
Hope you’re right, but forgive me for not being confident that he’ll be the guy.
Not ‘confident’ myself.
But it is possible and at this point we don’t know.
Fun to watch. More fun watching his parents reaction in the stands. Tommy Cutlets…
Right, I got a kick out of that too.
And… the Titans win. Crazy finish.
Mayo in his Coffee Boy for the win.
4th and 3 at the 43, could be play of the game.
Tua sacked.!
Titans with a chance to upset the Dolphins. Down 6 with 2 minutes to go, first and ten on the Miami 13 yard line.
Following it.
Good Game.
28 – 27 Titans.
1:49 left.
Dolphins are gonna win this…
They do seem to be matriculating down the field.
I was wrong. My wife is happy. She’s a Ravens fan.
That’s what sweet sister and I said, this helps the Ravens.
Yep, they’re the #1 seed in the AFC right now.
What a great weekend.
WHEW! When I saw that Giants kickers numbers for game winning FG’s my heart stopped. Thank you Giants!
LOL, same here. I had a flashback to Blair Walsh in the 2015 playoffs.
Now we have to beat the Bengals on Saturday.
Packer fans tears are awesome.
Whoohoo!!
The Vikings miracle weekend is complete!
Chuck The Puckers. LOL
He hit the fucker! Sheep molesters lose!
Yeeeeeeeeesssssss!!!!!!
AND THE GNATS WIN!!!!!!!
Wowk, this kicker is shitty under pressure.
Like having Blair Walsh out there
UGH!!!
2s left. will be about 35yd attempt.
all fingers and toes crossed.
Don’t choke
Wait, nevermind. Gravytown had to burn their last timeout, the Giants will kick the GW attempt as time expires.
If the Giants can get a first down, they’ll kick the game-winning attempt as time runs out.
Otherwise, they’ll kick the go-ahead attempt with maybe 28 seconds left, and the Packers will have no timeouts remaining when they get the kickoff.
Puckers out of time outs now.
You’re right, I just realized that, too.
THIS IS GOOD!!!
Danny Devito with the fucking dagger to the inbreeders’ hearts.
Come on. Put the dagger in the Packers.
BAROOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Giants in FG range.
23yds out 49s left.
The mafia might sabotage the Packers plane.
I still hate the Packers.
1:33 left with two timeouts. Gnats need to get this done!
I was REALLY hoping the Giants would force a fumble on the 2 pt attempt & scoop it & score to go ahead. Would have been awesome, my kid did that to me on Madden a few nights ago.
Laughing… your kid is awesome.
He legit beats me on Madden sometimes. I don’t have to hold back when I play him anymore, beating him is not a given for me anymore & he’s only 8.
Wow, already beating you at 8. Watch out, lol
They pick up on video games & such really quick. It’s amazing.
ugggg!!
1:42 left to get in FG range.
I’m tired, but the Peckers are losing, I refuse to go to sleep.
Well, shit. Nevermind.
Maybe Danny Devito can lead a drive.
Crap
The Giants are going to give this away.
Stop these bastards.
They’re trying to overturn this incompletion. The NFL REALLY wants the Packers to win this game, apparently.
I hate them.
INCOMPLETE!!!!!!!!
These inbred, gravy swilling fucks are gonna pull this off, aren’t they?
Wait, I can say that now, right? It’s after dark, the mods are gone?
Laughing… your secret is safe with me GF.
I won’t tell.
Gnats are killin me
5:30 left in the game, leading by 5 points, got the ball on their 25 yard line. Can the Giants finish?
Fumble 50 yd return?
That sucks so bad
Apparently not…
43 yard pass for GB… crap
47yd FG try coming up.
Cousins is now on the Manning Cast
Are you stalking him???
I hear that he is your Man Crush.
#snicker
Yeah… I hear that too… from imbeciles
Ahhhh Green Bay misses a FG.
@so sad@
Go Giants!
Maybe the miracle weekend for the Vikings will actually come to pass.
GB misses the FG!
Giants hanging on! Need another score here. Come on Gnats!
Giants TD!!! Lead 21-13
Yay!
Well a moral victory there. The Giants forced a field goal. Still have the lead. Need a good drive here and points though.
They got the pts.
21 – 13 now.
Love looks like the second coming of Rodgers. Not.
Giants look like the Vikings on 3rd and 1… they run the ball for -1 yards.
14 – 10 Giants,
Yay! The Giants are at least in the game, and grabbed the lead after the fumbled punt. I’ll take it.
Looks like all my teams losing. I’m out. Gunsmoke.
At halftime? 3 point difference?
His T Wolves are behind as well.
Ah soooooo
Neither is far behind,
But maybe he didn’t need the negative vibes?
Trey Blake is currently the worst ref in the NFL, IMO. That guy is horrible, consistently makes calls that make you wonder if he’s even watching the game.
He was the moran who reffed the Colts-Vikings game last year. He called a player down on a play when that player fumbled while still running.
