It’s the Vikings vs. Colts, or the Colts @ Vikings, depoending on your religion. No matter how you say it, the Vikings are at home and will play the Colts. The Vikings are looking to get back on track and put an end to their current two-game losing streak. With Darnold at the helm and a ferocious defense, the team started off hot In the past two games, Darnold has cooled off while opposing offenses seem to have figured out a vulnerability on the Vikngs defense. Let’s hope Flores can dig into his bag of tricks and start confusing offenses again. Darnold is going to need to cut down on the turnovers, it seems he has at least one every game, and they normally happen at the worst possible time. Not that there’s a good time for a turnover.
The Vikings are at home, are getting healthier with most starters back on the field. In the NFC North, every game is important if a team wants to have a shot at the division title, because all four teams look like playoff teams right now. The Colts are struggling, but hoping that Joe Flacco can tap into the fountain of youth and help the team secure a wild card spot. They’re in one of the worst divisions in football, with the Texans currently being the only “strong” team in the AFC South.
On paper, the Vikings should win this one. If there’s anything we Vikings fans know, it’s that what’s on paper means squat. The Vikings need a statement win here, something to help them wash off the stench of the last two games and get back on the winning track. SKOL!!!!!!

Hey guys. Grands are spending the night tonight, so I didn’t start watching the game until they went to bed. Great to be back in the win column, and the Vikings defense once again was fantastic. Allow me to remind you again that Greenard is from UofL :).
Still not a Darnold fan, which is why I’m mostly staying off the threads. Winning is definitely more fun though. Just hope the Vikings don’t give Darnold some crazy contract.
It was a nice win,
Plus you got Louisvilles upset of Clemson yesterday.
Great football weekend for you, congrats.
Defense did a great job, held them to two FGs.
Team win overall, not pretty but gritty.
Good job overall.
Good night everyone. I still think we should arrange a get-together to watch a game in a central location. If not this year, then next year would be easier to plan.
I’d be open to any bar/grill location with a hotel nearby.
We would be unbeatable with a good IOL.
We have to settle for ‘sometimes good enough’.
JJ had a higher QBR than Sam.
118.8 vs 107.1.

BALLGAME!
6-2
SKOL!!!
Pretty weak PI call. The receiver never really tried to get away from Gilmore
I noticed they wouldn’t show the replay. That was a wobbly pass. If the ball was tipped there can’t be pi.
Announcer asked the question but no one answered.
Turner looks like he’s right there on every one of the sacks.
He is. It’s starting to click for him
He was getting held pretty bad on Ward’s sack
You’re not kidding
That’s the gayest 3 points I ever saw…..
Inside kick coming up.
21-13.
PI,
FG try 38s.
The Colts kicker is really Gay
Can confirm.
