Vikings fans...

[Al_4_State]

I can see how neutral and opposing fans might get a bit tired of the homerism but he talks so much that he does a really good job of describing each play. You can generally get a pretty good feel for what is happening when he is announcing.

My one (minor) complaint, is that he gets so into it that he even sounds excited during a good play for the other team.

The dismay shows up immediately afterwards, but it can be momentarily confusing.

JW is immediately despondent while something good is happening for the other squad.

First one that comes to mind is the final play of the season against the cardinals 4-5 years back

That was like 15 years ago I think.

Love PA and this call always comes to mind when thinking about plays going against the Vikings.

You may be right, but I was thinking of the Teddy strip sack game back in 2015 I think.

Diggs hasn't practiced the last couple days due to illness. I wonder if the illness has anything to do with him getting very few targets against the Saints. He's one of my favorite players but he has been a little bit of a beotch this year. I hope he doesn't request to be traded in the offseason.

Unless he was acting, they showed him on the sidelines pretty angry that he wasn't being targeted more according to the announcers. Who knows.

Thats what I mean. He should have had a chat with Cousins and maybe the OC rather than crying and making a scene.

True. He was behaving the same way early in the season when Thielen was being targeted. He's pretty good though.

Hopefully Diggs (flu) and Thielen (cut ankle) are at least 90% by game time. If they are, I'll take the Vikings 31-27.

Alexander back for SF.....eff. Not going to help things for Vikes.

 

[SCyclone]

Allen is like Jim Zabel on steroids and speed.

 

[srjclone]

To those worried Stefon was sitting out because he was mad about not getting targeted last game...

 

[somecyguy]

I'm going to do what I did that week. Expect the worst

Yeah it is because Shannahan has all but said he is going to pick on Xavier Rhodes. Having another DB option outside of dejo you can throw in to mix things up, I'm all for it. Shannahan isn't as hard headed as to not realized the matchups he will have on the field, unlike Sean Payton.

edit: i'm an idiota

Pretty sure he means LB Kwon Alexander is back for the 49ers.

oh, yea, that aint good lol

As for the Vikes Mackensie Alexander had surgery and is done. Pretty sure Hughes is done too. It's gonna be Rhodes and Waynes with Hill and Sendejo playing the nickel. So, going to need massive day from Hunter and Griffen.

That's why I was confused/excited. I knew Mac had surgery yesterday, just blanked and was too excited to have another DB in the fold.

Our LBs and front 4 have to play stellar to have a shot. Hope Jimmy G throws a couple zone read throws directly into the hands of Eric because his reading of the LB level has always been his poorest recognition in his progressions. Couple that with Hunter and Griffen getting in his face, and it makes it that much harder.

Just gotta hope he's a bit slow/rusty/not game shape.
