Minnesota Vikings News and Links: August 20, 2019

NFL: Preseason-Seattle Seahawks at Minnesota Vikings Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports

Another day closer to preseason game 3, the dress rehearsal

Merry Tuesday, everyone!

Coming off a win against a tough Seattle team. the Vikings prep for their dress rehearsal preseason game as they travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals this Saturday. The Cardinals do not have a top defense, but they are no slouch, either. Although their run defense was somewhat porous last year, their pass defense did not allow a ton of yards. Look for the Vikings to run the ball early and often, and I’ll be watching to see if the O-line can consistently open up running lanes for the backs. I’m hoping to see continued improvement and consistency from the offense, to see the defense to continue to do what they do, and most of all, to see no injuries.

By the way (and this only pertains to a select few, most of you have this under control) take a look at the rules below. Go ahead and disagree, this is a discussion board and all opinions are allowed, but do so in a civil manner or you won’t be here long. For the life of me, I cannot fathom why a person cannot disagree with another person on a subject without being a total..........ummm..........without being civil. Be adults, or at least act like you’re close to being adults. This is a place where people show up because it is a fun place to be. If you make it un-fun, you will be un-here. Comprende? Gracias.

Here’s a good one from my cassette library. Enjoy!

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:

  • No discussion of politics or religion
  • No feeding of the trolls
  • Leave the gender hatred at the door
  • Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
  • Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags\
  • No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
  • If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
  • While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on, don’t tip the cows, and keep an eye on the bartender so he doesn’t tip over.
