Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 10/2

It's game day, ladies and gentlemen! We'll have our Game Thread for the game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers up about an hour before kickoff tonight, and some other coverage of tonight's action leading up to the game as well.

Since the last time we brought you an Open Thread. . .

-Ted has taken a look at some of the keys to tonight's matchup.

-Mmmmmmmm. . .donut.

-Need to figure out where to watch or listen to tonight's game? We've got all the answers right here.

-We've also got the final injury reports for both teams. Teddy Bridgewater is listed as questionable, and Chad Greenway will miss his second straight game.

-We ask whether or not Bridgewater should play this evening with his ankle issue.

From some other sources around the internet. . .

-The Vikings are starting to see some of the benefits of drafting well.

-Ben Goessling of ESPN takes a look at how the wet surface at Lambeau could affect Teddy Bridgewater's ankle.

The rules of the Open Thread are the same as they've ever been, ladies and gentlemen. . .no politics, no religion, no feeding of the trolls, keep the language relatively clean (using spoiler tags, if necessary), and keep the GIFs relatively work-safe.

Here's today's musical selection. No real reason for it.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for this Thursday, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the rest of your day, and get ready for football this evening!
