Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to Skoloholics! Join us as we discuss the latest football news from the Minnesota Vikings and from around the NFL. 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!
Not a whole lot of news to share, but we’ll have a game thread for you later today when the Vikings take on the Broncos in Denver, with kickoff at 8pm. Let’s hope for no injuries. Then, there will be a flurry of cuts around the NFL as teams scramble to get their rosters down to 53 by Tuesday.

Vikings.com tells you how you can watch, stream, and listen to tonight’s game.
Uh oh lifer
Jeez
Half of Minnesota under tornado watch…
Here you go chief. Exactly why you don’t play starters in a meaningless game
I understand the concept and i think depth is a issue. Camps used to be twice a day. Lots of starters played some preseason. i’ve noticed since players association implemented new rules that we just stink beginning season. Nothing cohesive. They will look like shit out of the gate.
Packers never played starters either so for us it’ll be equal.
well by fine chief. We will be fine. We’re gonna win
Will be interesting 9-11. I expect flag football.
Wrong, just wait and see.
Yep, especially w/all new offense and defense. Pack beats us by 3 scores or more.
Love MLB. Starter goes 3.2 and they wonder if he’s running out of gas. Nolan Ryan they ain’t.
Cy young threw like 750 complete games, in that regard even the great Nolan Ryan can’t hold his jock strap
Referencing Twins pitchers.
We have Pagan, however. Grateful for that.
Yeah I know, but overall in baseball today it’s silly, starter goes 6 innings and it’s some kind of accomplishment
Went to a Twins game this spring, and I thought they were having college tryouts they cycled so many pitchers through. I think they used every one, after the first guy was doing fine in my opinion and Baldeagle jerked him out anyway after 3.
I had this conversation with my dad 2 weeks ago.
its all numbers. We will never see those records broken because analytics….
Yep, game is barely recognizable from what I grew up watching, Jack Morris would have been pulled in the 6th inning of game 7 1991 with todays style.
Same with Bert.
all those guys… sucks to see… I don’t understand the point of a “SP” anymore when they go 3-4 innings.
I don’t even know how a win can be assigned to a pitcher now.
Exactly.
I saw Nolan Ryan pitch in the Metrodome… Most boring baseball EVER!
Damn McGill that sucks. Could have used his depth week one. He might be ready but sounds like week 2 at the soonest.
Bisi to IR
Does he get a 3rd chance after two lost seasons in a row due to injuries to both knees? I doubt it. Sounds like a injury release designation to me.
Can put him on IR and be out season and not count towards roster spot. Might as well do that
yup…I always liked his potential. Maybe he’d be good to go now.
How many more knees does he have left?
Preseason
Da Bears 3-0
Purple People Eaters 0-3
Interesting outcome, considering dabears are supposed to suck. Huge grain of salt, of course, maybe they just have better depth than the teams they played in preseason.
Maybe reflection of depth, playing starters, not familiar at all with their personnel. I just tossed it out for giggles.
Who cares. Rams sent 0-3 last season never playing any starters and won the SB
I care. Don’t GAF about Rams.
Playing starters in preseason is stupid. Exactly how Irv got hurt last year and missed all season. Zero point in todays NFL
My point is showing lack of depth. You actually think game one they will magically gel? You will lose bets.
I´m afraid you might be right Chief
They will suck giant donkey dongs. Going to be a complete cluster of penalties, missed coverages, missed assignments blocking. 42-3 at half. We lose and begin an epic season.
Joesph hit a 47 yarder then this one from 58 that had at least 5 more yards in it. Dude is absolutely on fire. Probably too early but on fire none the less.
Time for a groin pull.
Fred Cox could only kick it about half that far
Final likely 53 from Will at SI. I agree with all of it pretty cut & dry.
Quarterbacks
Running backs/fullbacks
Wide receivers
Tight ends
Offensive linemen
Defensive linemen
Outside linebackers
Inside linebackers
Safeties
Cornerbacks
Specialists
*note punt / kick returner may not be on the roster.
The kick returner is most certainly on the roster.
lol Kene is the KR lol. PR will likely be ISM but idk how I feel about that. Bobbles every punt
That’s true Kene is pretty solid in that respect.
He didn’t get snaps at KR this preseason bc no point in him getting hurt
wow, lot of talent there. P2, Dantz and sullivan as starters is a great unit and the back-ups are both rookies but also looking great in camp. Offense same except Ed starts and no Conklin. gonna be tough to lose and really like how that DL depth looks, bullard has been great, in camp
Lol 5 call in?
Can’t stand Glover or his princess level need for attention.
Not me, I have 15 wins minimum and a very good shot at Owl
Rookie wins RG spot
Same knee for Bisi. He gone
I hate injuries, especially anytime the word “knee” is involved.
Looks like it might be the other knee, but still just as brutal for the poor kid.
@TomPelissero
#Vikings WR Bisi Johnson is feared to have suffered a torn ACL in Saturday’s preseason finale, per source.
It’s the other knee from the ACL tear Johnson had in camp last year. Another brutal break for a promising young player whom Kevin O’Connell had lauded for his strong camp.
Another Byron Buxton.

WTF happened to the Twins offense? Good grief, they look like shit.
They are looking good when compared to the Vikings.
Game day thread is up
https://skoloholics.com/minnesota-vikings-at-denver-broncos-gameday-thread/
Let´s see how he does vs real NFL competition. I still think that Fields will suck.
Remember turdbiskets back up put a whoopin on us. Not even I think we get swept by dabares again, but it could happen.
Could be delay
Well, got the Twins.
Most of the time I’d rather have nothing instead…
Ain’t watched them at all.
The only twins I want to watch have nothing to do with baseball
lol
LOL
Got woke up with thunder and lightning this morning at 5am. A guy should be able to sleep in until 5:30 at least on a Saturday.
Phone rang at 0430 for me. Time to save the day.
Better than having to save the world.
Play the game, not like the guys who matter will be there. Could take the pressure off coaches having to make cuts.
“Well those 6 guys got hit by lightning, so they’re cut, now where were we?”
Mullens will play. Interested to see where they play him. Unlikely to start… so loser manion will go first
His NFL career donzo
Yeah…. Withholding judgment. Not following.
Guilty or not. You never want to be associated with something like that. Yikes
Yes, like the Duke Lacrosse team.
Girls are absolute sluts. What was a consensual gang bang on a college campus is a gang rape when dude hits paydirt.
im not going one way or another I don’t take sides in this shit.
I don’t want to know more because I don’t care. It’s a terrible story and Also none of my business.
Dozens if not scores of cases exactly like you are saying. It’s all good until the video gets posted, or their friends find out or they learn jrs dad has money.
Jesus Mick…hate women much? You actually said consensual gang bang like that’s ok in any form. It’s not because there is absolutely no way that girl wasn’t either socially pressured in to it, drunk or has mental / personal issues that a group of guys take advantage of.
A man of honor in that situation beats the Neanderthals back with a bat and takes that girl to the safety of her home. That’s a man, not a hard disk loser who can’t treat a lady right and earn a romantic evening with her respectfully and in the proper way. What is it with uber religious conservatives and their hatred of women??
You want to blame me for what society has done to women? Enabling and promoting their promiscuity? Tiktokers posting the notches in their belt of 20-30-40+ dudes and you want to come at me about hating women? As if there’s never been a false allegation against a man with money, power, or fame?
Get real and read what I wrote. I’m not judging, I don’t know, nor do I care. It isn’t my business.
Check yourself fool before you start slinging shit and putting words in my mouth. Read what I said as a whole instead of trying to whiteknight by cherry-picking shit out of context.
Put words in your mouth??? No…I questioned you for exactly what you typed..
“Girls are absolute sluts. What was a consensual gang bang on a college campus is a gang rape when dude hits paydirt.”
I had read your follow up comments, “ I don’t know”, “I don’t care”. “Not my business”
So help me with your logic here, you don’t know but you lead with that abhorrent statement above, you don’t care but you seem to think all girls are all sluts. Your words.
Society has always been full of ill’s Mick, that doesn’t give you an excuse to blame an accuser for the poor behavior of a group of men. Even if she “asked” for it in no way shape or form should a man allow something like that to happen. We should as men protect women from the expectations society puts on them to be beautiful, sexy, willing and otherwise. We certainly expect them to take care of men and children’s needs. If a woman want’s to share her beauty publicly in a safe manner like Brittany did below, that’s her choice and I support that she is beautiful as is the female body it should be celebrated. I’m sure she was chastised as being a whore and a slut for it when that is not the case at all. Men just can’t handle it.
There is clearly a conservative message and trend littered across society, publications and certainly on this thread of men’s distain for women who speak out and up for themselves and holding men accountable. Religion is fraught with “women submit to their man, it’s god’s plan” BS. Seen it all my life. It controlling, it’s wrong an it’s gross.
I agree these conservatives are bad. most conservatives raise very liberal women
You are seeing what you want to see and not what’s actually there. Then you want to put a political religious label on it instead of understanding because you think you’re scoring some kind of points in some political game you are playing.
Girls are absolute sluts – This is not wrong. Because I didn’t also say men are you’re going to chastise me?
A consensual gang bang on a college campus is gang rape when dude hits paydirt – A 100% plausible hypothetical situation I have offered up. We have seen it done many times x and many lives have been ruined because of false allegations.
im not going one way or another I don’t take sides in this shit. – Clearly I show what my true intentions are and what side I am on in all of this.
I don’t want to know more because I don’t care. It’s a terrible story and Also none of my business. – Here I am again stating where I stand and what I think of it.
I have explained every part of my comment, I also stand by it all. Because you want to find fault with something you will, it’s not about what I said, but you think you’re scoring some points on “looking like a man” and trying to take down evil conservatives and the religious folks. That isn’t going to change… the issue isn’t me or what I said it’s whatever internal battle you have going on inside yourself where something like
this hits home. Sucks for you dealing with whatever that is but misrepresenting what I said isn’t going to fix it.
No Mick I’m 100% comfortable where I’m at as a man both politically and socially. Don’t need to chase arguments and I’m certainly not “dealing” with any issues but nice try trying to flip it in to an emotional personal problem I’m having to justify and defend your words, typical with what the topic is here.
Doesn’t mean I’m going to not comment and disagree with, in my opinion, an absolutely terrible perspective of women in general you shared. Remember I never initially asked for your opinion, you shared it so man up and accept disagreement if it comes.
You bring up consensual gang bangs like it’s an every day norm at colleges. No young woman wants that reputation on campus. Do you think they’re too stupid to understand what follows that type of behavior socially ?? Health risks??
There’s no misrepresenting anything here, just polar opposite opinions on women in general.
god bless you, wish you best in your fight against self hatred
and you in your need for attention
You speak in absolutes. Hate women? Never said it.. that’s where your personal comfort zone brought you.
No way she wasn’t pressured Or drunk or mental issues… again speaking in absolutes. Like you were there or something. Do you know something that you’d need to speak to police about regarding this story?
I didn’t dive into politics or anything else, I even stated that I’d withhold judgment on the entire thing. But Joe Schmo at the U of M does this and nobody cares.
Here’s some real questions… where were her parents? At 17 what is she doing there? Who supplied the alcohol/drugs if she was indeed inebriated? You’re almost 60 years old and you speak as if you’re in tune with what actually happens on college campuses… or with the youth in general… is this an area of expertise for you? Did they pick her up walking home from Bible study? Or was she somewhere a 17 year old girl doesn’t belong?
To repeat what I said earlier it’s a terrible story. Many lives are or will be ruined because of it. It is also none of my business. The only reason I have anything to say about it is because you feel the need/desire/urge to try and drag me down with your slander. Read what I actually wrote instead of what you want to see to frame it how you’d like.
So you saying right out of the gate women are sluts isn’t speaking in absolutes?? So you think she possibly wanted it, thinking straight stone cold sober? K. Guess they don’t drink on college campuses like they did when I was a student back in 1805.
Yeah you said you withhold judgement and you didn’t say you hate women true but you really don’t seem to give her the benefit of doubt like you do for a bunch of dudes standing around a 17 yr old girl with their dicks in the hands.
Agree 100% parenting is lacking in some form or fashion here but again ask yourself, where were the parents for these dudes when they were raised to teach them to respect women ? They knew per accounts she was underage. Why not question their judgement here, even if she was 18 one of these young men should say wait a minute guys, this isn’t right. But you don’t question them. Only saying their lives will be ruined.
If lives for any of these guys are ruined, they deserve it. You don’t treat women this way and not every woman is out to trap and ruin mens lives.
I’m not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. I don’t give a shit.
Girls today are much more promiscuous than generations prior for a multitude of reasons. I’m not going to be listing them.
if they did as they’re accused they deserve all that’s coming to them. If she’s lying… same goes for her.
None of us were there. None of us know what happened and Im not going to pretend like I do.
My one and only issue is how you twisted what I said into something I did not. It’s the only reason I’m
giving this the time of day because you were wrong. You misinterpreted what I said and that’s on you.
I agree girls are more promiscuous with the exposer of everything at a kids finger tips nowadays and access to booze and drugs.
If I misinterpreted what you said I apologize. I don’t think you condone the behavior of a bunch of young adults who don’t realize the consequences of their decisions.
Actually something very similar happened at the u of m a few years ago, but it was like 10 players who had sex with another female student, school suspended everyone who attended the Party even if they had nothing to do with it or even left long before the grossness occurred (AWjr was initially suspended even though he stopped by briefly and left long before anything happened). Ultimately it was found no crime had occurred and no civil suit was made based on the evidence, though it was still disgusting and nothing I would ever participate in.
I remember the story too.
Any if this stuff… gotta wait until the dust settles.
That’s a perfect example and I like how they handled it. Suspend everyone send the message if you are aware or even in the vicinity of such an occurrence you will be effected. That way even the mere suggestion of such an act should scare the shit out of everyone.
Agreed.
I’ll watch the tape and then decide. No criminal charges. If it ends up fake I hope she goes to prison for a very long time.
Age of consent in ca is 18 and he admitted to consecutive contact so he’s already guilty of that. Doesn’t mean anything was forced though.
no cali women have had sex before 18, good.
Brady is in for Temporary Bay
Officially official. All starters out
Maybe Mattison makes the cut!
Just like Chaz and Chinsena
Mullens isn’t out either….🤔🤔🤔
Yeah just posted that too
Mattison is safe IMO now. They’ll keep 5 RBs
Mullens is not inactive. Any chance he plays?
Great minds think alike
Gamers
I’ll have the game day thread up 15-30 min before game starts
Nice, looking forward to my first game thread of the season! Also my first one on skoloholics, naturally 😉

Filson waxed cotton would be the way to go.
You’re welcome then. Seems like the perfect hat for you.
Skolly says that makes rosie oconnel an elite coach. I never realized it was so easy to be elite in the nfl.
Elite preseason approach. Love it
Mick said GB took the same elite approach except they don’t have a whole new system of offense and defense to learn.
Rodgers played his last preseason game in 2018 under McCarthy.
2019 whole new coach and system.
he has yet to win a super bowl so… 0-62
erin<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<beaker
Packers do it? Elite.
Vikings do it? Stupid coach 0-62
Guess I can tune out until the 2nd half. I still have zero clue why we’re wasting a roster spot on Mannion.
Racism
That has to be an old pic. She’s pretty rough these days.
wow, objectifying women, sad
I do miss this guy in his prime…my goodness watch these clips. Never gets old.
Fucking beast!
too bad he is such an idiot and ruined his life w/all the ho’s he had
He was man….power, speed, cuts….
Saw him life in 2013 when we played the Steelers in London. That man ran with power and authority.
I found myself chuckling with glee watching these clips. Thanks for posting this Lifer. I tell my kids I was lucky enough to watch Sweetness, Barry, and AD play in their primes. So fun to watch greatness in full-on beast mode.
Always had that extra gear when he saw a straight shot to the end zone.
Fucking LOVE watching that guy run. Man, he was a beast.
Have to believe Ham or Mattison is gone Tuesday.
“Joe, let’s forget the whole “build back better” and i’ll settle for put it back the way you found it”.
🎉 BOOM: President Biden’s overall approval at this point of his presidency is HIGHER than that of his five predecessors over the past 40 years — just in time for the midterms!
Always wondered what life would be like in China or N. Korea. Sadly, i think i’m to old. Have i seen a Purple pick from you Lifer? Season.
Not yet…I’m on the fence at this point. I’m thinking 10-7 or 11-6 best case.
lol, commy propaganda w/o a hunt of truth.
You know you can’t just keep saying that and have any creditably left…oh wait that was lost a long time ago.
lol, CNN calling out liars, hilarious
Unpossible, I would be happy with go away and let us fix it again.
Lifer seems unhappy, I hope he can read some scripture and feel better
.
Saw this on Twitter
Golfed today. Had one of the worst front 9s all season. Just horrendous. Was getting really pissed off whicu probably made me worse.
rallied hard on the back 9 and played pretty well.
How bout those huskers!
Stupid but I don’t care that much. CFB sucks overall compared to NFL.
Vikings I do care a lot about
they tried hard, that counts for a lot
lol…so funny dude.
So I played this morning, front nine had 4 triples on the front nine going in to hole #9, sitting at 50 on the tee on a hard par 4 for the last hole of the front side (#2 rated hole on the course).
tee shot- OB
third shot- long right OB
fifth shot- over green 45 yards roll down a hill
sixth shot- back up hill to top 15 yards short from green
seventh shot- over green to edge
eighth shot- chip 10 yards past hole
ninth shot- putt down hill left 5 yards short
tenth shot- putt 4 feet past
eleventh shot- putt lips out
twelfth shot- putt made
finished front side with a 62
back side shot a 43, played great.
I had a freaking 10 today on hole 2. Birdie hole one then freaking 10. I about snapped my club and then throw it in the pond.
I was so rattled after that it wrecked the next 4-5 holes. Got some confidence at hole 8 and 9 and then went off on the back 9.
i think it was 15 strokes better on back 9 lol
This won’t make you feel better. But I can relate. I’ve tossed a few clubs in my day. Golfing one day with my dad, threw a club after shanking one into the water. He shakes his head, says “what are you doing? You aren’t good enough to get that pissed over a bad shot. Let’s get a beer and enjoy the day.” Wise man.
What was it that Chef/Norse said yesterday?
“You ain’t beautiful enough to carry that crazy” or something like that as a good way to start a fight with the wife.
You’re not hot enough to be that crazy, lol. As id any are.
These are words I have lived by on more than golf.
You aren’t good enough to get that pissed over a bad shot.
Lol, I did that last winter. Front nine I shot an 82, tad below average, even for me. Back nine I shot in the 40’s. Partner suggested I might warm up more from now on, lol.
That is a good point…the course we play every week does not have a range you can warm up on so it stone cold off the first tee. Over water. Not easy.
Ted Cruz should be fired in to the sun.
he bad man. But if you worked your way through school why would you have debt? so odd
Commy propaganda no one believes
Agree 100%.
Not sure about ISM, looks like shit returning, from what i’ve seen.
yeah he’s had a shaky camp.
I think he’s on the bubble but will probably just sneak in over Nailor.
Close.
Future WR1 by next season, will be better than JJ
— new five
If 5 doesn’t come back to old, cantankerous self, i want him banned. For life.
100% agree, new five sucks
bless you Benjammin
may God bless you to get back to the real five!
Heading to town in the AM. I’ll give you a call when I get service. Have you talked to Jason about Ethiopia yet?
Looks like they’re back to civil war in parts of Ethiopia.
We drove through a village that had 9 burnt out pickups from 4 weeks before. 2 villages pissed at each other, the 9 vehicles were cop cars, one village killed 32 cops in one night.
Also in the west a village of 350-400 was wiped out when I was there. Nobody goes in that area. It’s really a shame it’s such a cluster.
Then again, that might be what is needed here.
Just like Syria… they LIKE fighting.
It’s just that they don’t have the military or police powers to go in and kill them all, like they do here.
No, but will try tomorrow
Gpd Bless You chef. New Big 5 just wants to fit in and be on the right side of the mob and history. I had another dream last night we went 16-1 and beat the Bills 49-0 in the Owl.
No need for a game thread.
HOW ABOUT THEM HUSKERS SKOLDIERS!!!!! GO BIG RED!!!!!!
Lolol.
called that one.
Yeah I’m not surprised, northwestern is terrible though
Have the top T prospect in the country though.
Yeah that’s who I was watching. Wonder if he could play….center, goard, QB?
He’s really good, they have a good line overall
Yeah Scott frost has to go IMO. Can’t manage a game. Who freaking outside kicks up 11 with all the momentum in 3rd quarter. Makes Zimmer look like a GOAT
Losers. Huskers will still beat gophers in Lincoln. Gophers suck donkies too
Yeah, it’s weird how good his teams at UCF we’re compared to Nebraska, especially considering how well he’s recruited. New QB seems really similar to the last, coaching has to have something to do with that. Also, just messing with you, huskers will probably beat the gophers this year And you can talk mad trash about that.
I’m also not as attached to huskers as I used to be. Win or lose I don’t really care to much.
vikings however are a different story. NFL >>> CFB
Nice to see the grasshopper learning. Apathy for the nfl will soon be yours.
Okay, I’ll start.
1.Expect the Vikings to win the Super Bowl.
2.Get married
3.Have kids
4.Lose virginity
5.Hunt mountain goats.
Next.
Lol that life would suck
#6, Your mom.
It’s been 959 days since the Vikings were over .500 at any point. Minnesota hasn’t had a winning record since the end of the 2019 season.
This is a good stat. Hopefully they break it before the 1k mark.
I’m hoping they break it by 2025.
Week 1
Lose by 4-5 scores. Week 2 lose by 2-3 scores. Week 3 will be the test. Are we a top 25 team or not?
Rodgers and the starters havent played preseason though… they’re fucked per your logic.
just like their defense…. No starters played… ooof. Guess we’ll both be battling the bears for the bottom.
Pack is expected to have top 3 defense from what I have read. We have bottom 3. Erin vs beaker,lol, new wr may hurt him for the first couple games. I expect they run for 200+ yards on us.
We’ll have a top 15 to 10 defense.
Maybe, if very healthy.
Nope, run D will be bottom 10, just watch.
Agreed, pending overall health.
Just going by Kodiak logic.
Jones hasn’t played all preseason… he’ll probably die the first play.
Also erin and co don’t have all new coaches and an all new playbook on offense and defense. That matters.
Check back with me how many games he played lefluers first year in preseason.
erin>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>beaker
Especially when it comes to broken plays
I think probably week 3 or 5
Going into the bye at 1-5 or maybe 2-4. If we go in at 0-6 reality will set in finally.
I think it’s possible they go 3-2 in the first 5,
I have a hard time saying without seeing any gameplay.
its been 0 from anyone who matters.
Sure, it’s possible they go into the bye 6-0, just extremely unlikely. Lions going to surprise this season.
Lions will be better, they were not a pushover last year actually, played tough almost every game.
and they have 6-8 top 2 rd draft picks added to the team.
doesnt Mean a whole lot. They always draft at the top and 95% of the time can’t break .500
Just pointing out that last season many of them were injured and didn’t play while beating us.
How bout the browns? Jets? Jags? They all have multiple top 1&2 round picks on their teams…. Have for a while.
how are they doing?
They didn’t have the injury issues the lions had last season when still beating us. I’m just expecting the Lions to improve over last season, when they best us, because many of their stars were hurt and not playing when they beat us.
Best the packers too
My humble opinion this season all comes down to week 1. Start fast and beat your rival I think that lifts spirits, confidence and gives KOC the proof of his culture talk that they believe in each other and we go to Philly and win, beat the lions and beat the Saints in London.
Lose week one I think it goes the opposite way, doubt and pressure to win creeps in and make everything twice as hard. Likely to start 1-3.
I agree. We start out 0-6 or maybe 2-6 if we’re lucky. No way we beat the pack, iggles, Lions or taints.
As you implied as the losses pile up the team will realize the culture bs is just that, bs and doesn’t win games.
Beat ‘em last year with Kirk…. But you leave that out.
Oh freak games happen all the time, that’s why we watch. We could beat the Bills like they did to us when they were 16 point underdogs. I’m just going by probabilities and expectations. Always fun to have surprises.
Only game we lost last year by more than a score was when Kirk didn’t play.
i don’t know if you say this stuff to sound edgy and cool or something… it isn’t based on reality though.
You apply a set of standards in on scenario and say it doesn’t apply on another. Or you some stupid phrase like “ broken clock is right twice a day”
You could just say you don’t know and hope they don’t suck but there’s nothing you’ve said that shows we’re going 0-6 or 2-15.
Reasons we are ranked by the nfl as a bottom 10 team.
Last season we were:
1. 31st run stop win rate
2. 1st (t) OL penalties
3. 25th Pass protection win rate
4. 29th pass rush win rate (injuries)
5. 25th in time of possession (see #1,4)
6.Tied for 1st in 3 and outs.
7.1st in runs one yard or less.
Whole different regime now.
Basically same players on offense. 50% new guys on D, we will see.
Fatcarthy got fired and the puke went 13-3 with a new coach same team.
Just need to beat Green Bush on opening day, streak is over.

Loading the boat today and heading to town tomorrow, Forecast is good. Back to the city Monday if all goes according to plan. I should be able to watch the first 2 Vikings losses for the season before I come back for fall season.
Hopefully the Vikings don’t suck dog balls, but I’m not expecting the #1 seed and division champs like most on here.
Who said that?
I’vea couple people say they think the Vikings win 12+ and win the division
Yikes.
bit premature…. Start with the Pukes and go from there.
Yeah, and 12 or 13 wins could easily be #1 seed in the NFC, it’s pretty weak compared to the AFC
It would be nice to get into the playoffs with 5 wins. Classic Vikings.
I think they could make it at 8-8-1
5 win playoff team would be epic. Vikings record setting football.
They are going to suck. See the comment above and then add in all new coaches and zero game time for starters in the preseason.
orange man bad, biden good.
I picture Joe off his meds in his padded closet smearing his shit on the wall.
Want to puke looking at him.
I guess the biggest thing to me is that I know people who believe all the lies, even after they are exposed. Their beliefs contradict all fact, but yet they persist
There are more like Lifer?
Millions
Voting electorate gets dumber by the millisecond.
You’re ok when you see this right?
Has a brain, not senile yet.
Obviously photo shopped propaganda from the communists.
2nd half tonight.
I wonder if rosie Oconnel will again be surprised we didn’t win? That gem along with him not even being aware Tretter called gives me pause on the state of the mgt on this team. Packer game could give us some answers. There is a reason we are ranked a bottom 10 team in the nfl and why the nfl thinks we got worse this offseason.
It is a very rainy Saturday. Maybe I should take a nap.
90 & sunny here today, going to the mud run in Mandan. Full redneck today (again).
Mid 60s and we already have 2.5 inches of rain today. It sounds like there is a good chance of rain on and off all day plus tonight and maybe tomorrow. I may need to borrow an ark from someone.
At least this storm is not as bad as the one we had back in August of 2016. This was my back yard after that deluge.
And the ditch by the road. Several people lost their driveways downstream from us.
The stream is across the road from us.
Here is another picture of the back yard after the 2016 storm. It was a gully washer that happens in less than an hour.
What part of world you in?
Western Wisconsin.
Looks like lots of red on radar.
Has it been dry till now? Sounds like southern MN has been very dry for the farmers.
Not for us. We have had decent rainfall all summer, which has been unusual in the last few year. The new trees I had planted this spring have only needed extra watering only twice this summer. Last summer I was watering the new trees every week.
Welp…. Won’t be long til the huskers are 0-1
Not to mention 0-4
I had an interesting encounter in La Crosse, WI last night. I sat on a bench along the river behind the Raddison Hotel, and a clean-cut guy in his 20s approached me. He asked if I knew who owned the buildings along the river.
“I’m just visiting,” I said. “Sorry.”
He went on to explain the property was once owned by his grandfather. When his grandfather died, the property went to his grandmother and is then supposed to be willed to him, but problems developed.
Okay, I thought. So he is maybe going to ask me for money here. Like he needs X amount of dollars to clear up various legal matters and will then reward me for my help with a generous payout when everything is cleared up.
Nope, he then launched into a story about how the owner of Kwik Trip, along with Donald Trump and some other mogul are poisoning his grandmother. He then added in Putin and the devil into his tirade, concluding that they will all burn in hell and La Crosse will shortly become “the devil’s town” and play an important role in world events. He then left mid-rant, shook his fist at the building and yelled, “You’re all going to hell!”
Guy looked totally normal.
He was not totally normal…
orange man bad
Drugs bad.
He also mentioned that he was “chosen” to stop them. All of this was delivered in a very clipped tone with barely-restrained righteous fury.
So…yeah…watch the news for mention of La Crosse becoming the center of the world soon…
The town that he just happens to live in, the big buildings that just happen to be right there, the company that just happens to be the most recognizable in the area and have their HQ there, and he just happens to the chosen one to stop them.
Or watch the news for a mass shooting in La Crosse. Scary.
I always knew it would be Wisconsin.
That’s…..abnormal.
Just got back from a trip to La Crosse, WI. Had a nice conversation with a fellow I found sitting on a bench behind the Raddison Hotel.
I had it typed up to say…
so you mwt Lifer
So another example of bad parenting. I also am starting to believe the research into food wrap and other chemical proteins causing mental illness, gender dysphoria, etc. Then again it could be drugs. I don’t know shit about them. You throw in the communist propaganda spewed out by msm that people believe and the world is a mess. You turn off the news and internet, and the world gets much better.
Just think if we didn’t have the most 3 and outs and the most runs for one yard or less? If we can beat dabares when they come to msp we could win 4-5 maybe even 6 games this season. If we don’t, we could win 3 or less. Team will change a bunch as the season progresses. Injuries hold the cards again.
We won 8 with the worst 2 min defense ever and most 3&outs….
how does what you said make sense?
The nfl thinks we got worse over the off season. We were ranked 21st, drafting at #12 and now we are ranked 23rd by the nfl, bottom 10. Other teams got better while we did not.
Bengals were ranked 29 last season and went to the bowl. Your reasoning is flawed.
lol, if we lost beaker for last season and he was coming back this season and just drafted JJ this year, I could see where we would be better than last season like the bungholes.
None of that stuff happened though. We are going to stink until we don’t. If we lose our first 3 games we might only be favored in 3 all season.
Bengals won 6 games in two years…. What does JJ being a rookie or Kirk hurt have to do with it?
Cook doesn’t fumble in week 1 they don’t make it. Again.. your logic and reasoning are shit.
Bungholes lost their starting qb the previous year and drafted Chase?? an exceptionally good wr. Just saying those circumstances matter. If the Vikings had the same circumstances, it would be comparable. It isn’t, because they don’t.
You can condemn my reasoning and logic all you want, but to expect anything other than 0-62 is a fools errand.
The year before they ducked too.. but that’s because Burrow was a rookie? Or what’s your new excuse? Nobody said we’re going to the super bowl but it does say preseason rankings don’t mean shit. Stay on topic.
Weren’t we ranked around 20th in pre season rankings last season and ended up being 21st. Damn accurate for us.
This is crazy. President Trump per some twitter guy sold our spy names for money to add to his billions. wow!
Lol, their morals are despicable when they get to this level of lying.
I feel that if a twitter guy posts this to his loyal dem followers then it must be true. so glad they cleared Hunter and buried that laptop, could have been misinformation. thank you zuck, a true patriot
Same with Ashley Biden’s diary. So glad they’re sending the people who found it to jail. I don’t worry at all about how creepy Joe was in taking showers with her at an inappropriate age. Love is love.
orange man bad
Creepy Man and Creepy Kids, good!
Five mentally stunted
So the people who found her diary, that talks abut how creepy her dad was, are now in jail? For what? I just want to turn all that shit off and pretend it isn’t happening.
I feel a viking blog poster who’s worried someone might find out his name and address is just a scared pussy who know’s he supports traitors and con men.
God Bless You
Fuck you 🖕🏼
LOL
Was the woman who accused Kavanaugh executed? Of course not. There is no accountability and it will continue.
Uh…you see that he was referencing two separate investigative articles by The NY Times and The Hill?? Of course you didn’t because being a maga adolescent adult tool you just discount down to the most common denominator. Duh Huh!
oh good, those are both super papers. It must be true. Jail him and his family. bad hombres
What cause the orange sack of gelatin call’s any that report the truth of his crimes as “bad papers”. If he handed you a freshly laid turd with peanuts in it you’d eat it when he told you it’s a baby ruth.
God bless you
First!
A firsting more excellent than the Vikings last weekend. Let’s hope tonight things get straightened out. Would like to see the new guy play.
I was encouraged by a lot of what we saw last week (not everything, obviously). Preseason win-loss records mean nothing.
Missed it, must have gone to fridge for a beer.
Good chance you will be getting a beer when every good play the Vikings have this season happens, lol.
I fully expect Jeff to have a hunnert 99 yard receptions, where he’s brought down on the 1-yard line, and then we can’t punch it into the end zone on 3 plays, we kick for a field goal and miss.
