Season’s over, I guess
Following the Minnesota Vikings’ Week 1 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, confidence among Vikings fans was running high according to our weekly FanPulse poll. That’s to be expected.
Also to be expected is that, following a five-point loss in Week 2, the season is apparently over.
Yes, following Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, the percentage of fans that are confident in the direction if the team has been cut...

Weekend Eve Open Thread
Good Morning!I’ve been absent from the thread since the Packers mess game as I tend to avoid the Open Thread News and Links once the meltdown starts and I unexpectedly got called into work a day early. Thank you for posting my usual Wednesday gif (I don’t remember who) and I’ll be back more in the next couple of days. I’ve seen articles and mentions of a potential trade for Jalen Ramsey, what everyone is forgetting is an...

Is he in danger of missing Sunday’s game?
On Thursday, just as they did on Wednesday, the Minnesota Vikings had a starting linebacker sitting out of practice with a groin issue.
No, not that one. . .a different one.
The biggest change to the Vikings’ injury report from Wednesday to Thursday is linebacker Anthony Barr sitting out of Thursday’s practice after being limited on Wednesday.
Barr missed three games in 2018 with injuries, but prior to...

Well then, let’s talk about this, shall we?
As most of you know, Jacksonville Jaguars Uber CB Jalen Ramsey had a sideline confrontation with head coach Doug Marrone last Sunday, and then after the game asked to be traded.
As is our wont in Vikings Land, a lot of folks speculated that the team should make a trade for Ramsey, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted earlier this week that the Jags wanted at least one first round pick as part of a deal. I didn’t...
Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has openly discussed the eight surgeries he had in his right eye to correct a detached retina, but he recently revealed that he has actually had to undergo procedures on both eyes. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network asked Zimmer about his surgeries when he sat down with the coach for a feature, and Zimmer confirmed that he has had eight in his right eye. He also said he had two in his left, which was information he had not previously shared. “It’s a...
Kirk Cousins needs to bounce back in a hurry if the Vikings are going to avoid another Week 3 home upset. | Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports
The Raiders are in town this weekend, but it’s the Vikings that are hoping to avoid more Hard Knocks in Week 3.
After a crazy Week 2 game in Lambeau that featured bad turnovers, missed kicks, and a disappointing ending, the Vikings will look to get back to their winning ways at home in Week 3. Luckily, they’re back at home and facing an AFC opponent...

The “Oakland” Raiders’ last visit to Minnesota
In a scenario strangely reminiscent of what they faced last year, the Minnesota Vikings return home to U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon when they host the Oakland Raiders.
Last season, following a Week 2 contest at Lambeau Field, the Vikings returned home as a heavy favorite against an AFC opponent, as they were a whopping 17-point favorite over the Buffalo Bills. We all know what happened that...

Could he be back on Sunday?
Now that the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments over last week’s result is, hopefully, over, we can move ahead with some actual news about the Minnesota Vikings. They released their first injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders today, and there’s one piece of very good news on it.
For the first time in nearly a year, it appears that cornerback Mike Hughes is on track to participate in a full...

Minnesota’s premier edge rushers are living up to their billing after two weeks
After last season, in which Everson Griffen had to take part of the season off to deal with some mental health issues (something that should be applauded, even with how the events leading up to it happened, because it’s not easy asking for help in bettering your mental health), I think it was fair to say that Vikings fans were becoming more and more certain that the...
Kirk Cousins acknowledged his brutal play in the Minnesota Vikings’ Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers by conceding another woeful performance like that could have serious consequences. Cousins’ questionable decision-making and uneven play on Sunday doomed the Vikings’ attempt at staging a monumental comeback against their division rivals. After Aaron Rodgers staked the Packers to an early 21-0 lead, the Vikings’ vaunted defense held the Packers offense in check the rest of the...
The Vikings lost to the Packers and there’s a lot to unpack from it for Arif and James. Is Bradbury historically awful? Are the Vikings abnormally susceptible to scripted plays? How did the Vikings stop the bleeding after the first quarter? Where should I eat if I’m visiting downtown Minneapolis for a game? All of these questions are answered and more! Also a complete breakdown of the end zone interception and four other incredibly questionable throws by Cousins that were arguably...
