Vikings @ Rams

I'm not touching this one either...

Short week, west coast, post Lions hang-over?

I was planning to go to this one, my kid lives in LA.

But wife just had foot surgery...So I'm doing home nurse care for a bit.

Perfect timing...

The #Rams are “optimistic” that WR Puka Nacua will return for tonight’s game against the #Vikings, per @TomPelissero. pic.twitter.com/cntN7DNPJf

Lol, luck of the Vikings!

Olde Trapper always said its not who you play, but when you play em...

Dude is one hella player and the Rams are a vastly different offense with Kupp and Nacua back.

Just get a win tonight, I don't give a F about style points for this one...

Hockenson and Risner still questionable. Cashman is out. Everyone else playing including Aaron Jones.

Bo Richter is back on the Vikings' active roster after being signed off the practice squad. To make room for him, tight end Robert Tonyan has been waived.

The thought of them unleashing Puka and Kupp on us is daunting but there will be some rust there, at least in the first half when we seem to be at our best. Build a lead and feed Aaron Jones!

I'm hoping that the Vikings take out their loss on LA, in all phases. The defense will want retribution, Sam, JJ, and the offense will want to make statements, and special teams will want to be impressive in their moments.

Will all due, and very real, respect to the Rams' receivers...not the first top-shelf WRs we've faced this season. We've drubbed Stafford previously, even though he's had some bits of success against us.

I want KOC to show that he can bring forth the best yet in Darnold, and from the team...for 4 quarters. Do that, and the doom/gloom voices will be whispers again.

The Lambs are better than their record, but certainly a notch below our talent level. We should have a 10 ish point win in a vacuum.

I doubt KOC will but against the Rams we should pound that rock…! They have been poor against the run & their green dot linebacker Troy Reader was just placed on the IR 2 hrs ago…

yep, normally on the road I say run the ball and take their crowd out of it, but whos crowd will it be?

I wonder why the Rams chose all white uniforms? We definitely look good in purple.

Dumb penalties and the inability to tackle an old QB are why I refuse to get too high on any Vikings team anymore.

Letting the Rams tie the game at 14 in the 2nd qtr will be remembered. Two 3rd down penalties and having Stafford dead to rights and he escapes and throws a TD.

Phantom holding call on #7 allowed that drive to continue, same old shit…

Combination of terrible calls and dumb penalties are killing the defense so far.

...and Darrisaw is injured.   That could really fuck up the season.

Just another game in another year of a Vikings fan.

This feels an awful lot like the clock striking midnight. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt with the short week and the cross country travel.

But if we don’t come out after 10 days and hammer a bad Colts team at home…. We really were punching out of our weight class earlier this year

You honestly can’t make this shit up! Too many men on the field. WTF!

Flores' defense has been figured out. Back to drawing board before Colts game.

Yeah, the early season success was all scheme. We don’t have the kind of overall talent to make up for that scheme being scouted out. 

That’s where next year’s cap comes in. Talent + scheme = Championship D
