Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 19 September 2022

Hey, you’ll never guess who forgot to type up and schedule the Open Thread before he went to bed last night. Here’s a hint. . .it was me. Sorry about that, but we’ll get it going here.

Since the last time we brought you an (on-time) Open Thread. . .

• We had our staff NFL picks for the week. It hasn’t gone well for most of us.
• The final injury report for Monday night’s game shows one member of the Minnesota Vikings sitting out tonight’s contest.
• We got the other half of our Five Good Questions exchange for this week from Bleeding Green Nation.
• Two Old Bloggers look ahead to tonight’s game at Lincoln Financial Field.
• Here’s how you can follow along with all of tonight’s action.
• Warren has a look at what tonight’s game means to the teams involved at this early stage of the season.

Remember, we’ll start our coverage of tonight’s game at around 6:00 PM Central time when the inactives drop and the first Open Thread of the evening will get fired up at around 6:30. We hope you’ll be here!

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.
