Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 22 September 2022

Norske Thorsday, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to your Open Thread for today! Week 3 of the NFL officially kicks off tonight and we’re getting closer to seeing our Minnesota Vikings again on Sunday, but we’ve still got a few more days to go.

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

• Vikings Hot Takes took a look back at Monday night’s loss.
• GA Skol lets us know that Monday night wasn’t (all) Kirk Cousins’ fault. Sure, he played bad, but so did a lot of other people.
• We asked you to make your voice heard in our latest SB Nation Reacts poll.
• Now that he’s facing some adversity, Kevin O’Connell’s tenure as Vikings’ head coach is now officially underway.
• Did you know there’s a Linear Super Bowl title? Well. . .there is now!
• The first injury reports for both teams are out and the Vikings have one very big name on theirs.
• GA Skol also took a look at who the best performers from Monday night were.

Yeah. . .Mariah’s here for September now. DJ Cummerbund is awesome.

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.
