The weekend is here!
We’ve officially made it to the weekend, folks! And that means we’re just a day away from the Minnesota Vikings erasing our memories of that loss we watched on Monday night when they take to the field in Minneapolis to take on the Detroit Lions. Well, we hope, anyway.
Since the last time we brought you an Open Thread. . .

Some interesting names out on both sides
We’ve got the final injury reports for both the Detroit Lions and your Minnesota Vikings as we’re now about 48 hours out from kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium. There have been a couple of changes for both sides, so let’s take a look at those now, starting with the visiting team.
Jackson is the Lions’ starter at left guard, so his absence is likely going to be notable for the Detroit offensive line. All four...

At least one of us had a good week in Week 2
It is time, once again, for the guys that power your favorite Minnesota Vikings website to let you know who they’re picking in the upcoming week of NFL action. Last week was pretty darn good for one of us and not so great for everyone else, but hopefully everyone can get themselves on track this week.
Who had a good week in Week 2? Here’s a hint:

As expected
As I’ve mentioned in this space before, in the time that we’ve been doing SB Nation Reacts questions about the Minnesota Vikings, very few teams across the SB Nation family of websites have had confidence results that have fluctuated as much as ours do. Following the team’s first loss of the season, we’re seeing that trend get started again.
After 94% of Vikings fans said that they were confident that this team...

Week 3 did not provide any suspense for the top 9 teams in the rankings. Clemson handled South Carolina, Alabama took care of Louisiana-Monroe, Ohio State crushed Toledo, Michigan stomped UConn, Clemson beat down Louisiana Tech, Oklahoma spanked Nebraska, the USC Trojans beat up Freson State, and Kentucky whupped Youngstown State. After the top 9 there were a couple of upsets. Washington beat Michigan State and Texas A&M beat Miami.
The top teams,...

It was a rough week. Let’s just jump right in.
Irv Smith Jr.
Irv Christian Watson’d the deep pass that would’ve brought the team back in the game. That alone is enough for a nomination. The worst part about it was that wasn’t his only bad play of the game. There were several key spots early in the game Kirk looked his way and he just couldn’t make the catch. Irv is a big bodied receiver that hasn’t learned to box out the...
We exchange some intel with our friends from Detroit
We’re getting closer to Week 3 in the National Football League, ladies and gentlemen, and this week will feature a pretty interesting matchup for fans of the Minnesota Vikings. We don’t always call it “interesting” when the Detroit Lions come to town, but this time we kind of have to given the start that the Lions are off to.
We had an opportunity to exchange some questions with Mike Payton from SB Nation’s blog for everything...
On this Vikings Happy Hour , former Pro Bowl safety Glover Quin joined the guys to talk about football and especially the upcoming game versus the Lions in their first matchup of the season. The Lions' offense has been red hot and the Vikings just showed the world how to beat them. Will it happen on Sunday? SKOL!

The Philadelphia Eagles are one of six teams that have not been defeated this season as they fly past the Minnesota Vikings 24-7 on Monday night. Philly’s stellar performance was everything you could ever ask for in a football game.

We’re almost there, folks!
Norske Thorsday, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to your Open Thread for today! Week 3 of the NFL officially kicks off tonight and we’re getting closer to seeing our Minnesota Vikings again on Sunday, but we’ve still got a few more days to go.

There isn’t much to write about positively after the dumpster fire Monday night. Not everyone played poorly though. Here are my best from Monday.
Ryan Wright
Ryan Wright is the punter for those who don’t know. His kicks were superb. He had 3 of his 5 punts inside of the 20. He pinned the Eagles deep all game. However, the defense let them off the hook.
Greg Joseph
Greg the Leg is still perfect on the year. His kickoffs, however, are what got him on my...
