Wednesday Open Thread: August 18, 2021

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Hey, we’re slowly making our way through the work week, and the Vikings’ next game is only a few short days from now. The team will welcome Indianapolis to US Bank Stadium to take on the Colts this Saturday. Here is the Colts’ unofficial depth chart, courtesy of Colts.com. As always, I’m hoping for no injuries, and I think we can ALL agree that we’d like to see a better showing this Saturday than what we saw last Saturday against the Broncos. Either way, there will be some positional battles to watch. The O-line has some battles going on, as does the QB2 position, where Kellen Mond seems to be challenging Browning for that spot. This game will give guys a shot to move up or down, we’ll see what happens. SKOL!

Around the DN since our last open thread:

The Vikings are to work out Everson Griffen today, Chris has the details. I hope they sign him, welcome home!

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 forget to tip the cows, and remember that our special on sloth soup begins at 200 comments. Welcome Aboard!
