vike daddy Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Subtracting Gaskin from the mix won’t change much of anything about the offense’s strategy. His largest contribution came on special teams since he had just a single carry for -3 yards this season. The only concern rests in if Jones or Chandler were to succumb to an in-game injury. https://purpleptsd.com/2024/vikings/top_news/vikings-shuffle-roster-jets/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 is this the first game this year we've been at full player strength? no injury designations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIZ-Viking2293 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Feels like a game the Vikings should win 24-7, 24-10. A hobbled Rodgers vs Brian Flores is not a good matchup at all for the Jets offensively. The Jets defense is good but the last 3 QBs they've faced are Jacoby Brissett, Will Levis, and Bo Nix, so it'll be interesting to see if Darnold can make the throws he needs to make Sunday. If I'm the Vikings there would be a lot of Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler in London. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I feel like this game we should see Jones/Chandler early and often. The Jets have struggled to stop the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Sam Darnold told London media members following the Vikings Friday practice that it's his first time being in Europe. Darnold: "First time overseas. I'm very excited to play this weekend. I thought, overall, we had a really good day today on the grass." "They [Viking players who have played in London] continue to talk about how great of an experience it is, and how in-tune the fans are with the game. Throughout the years and with all the media coverage that American football gets nowadays in Europe, I feel like the fans are continuing to learn the game more and more. For us to be able to come here and have this dialogue, it's really a great experience." "Then the biggest thing for us going into Sunday is just making sure we're getting our sleep so we're feeling right and kind of getting on this time zone." https://www.vikings.com/news/justin-jefferson-sam-darnold-kevin-o-connell-london-jets-week-5-media-day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time driving on the wrong side of the road and the wrong side of the car. Found myself on the right side of the road more than once. Only nearly died like twice. 7/10: would do again 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I attended a West Ham vs. Ipswich English Premier League match today. It was an excellent experience. Soccer crowds are awesome. The home team took home a 4-1 victory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Aaron Rodgers is 96 yards shy of becoming the ninth player in NFL history to pass for 60,000 yards. He could enter the elite fraternity Sunday in London, when the New York Jets face the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He would join Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan and Dan Marino. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40885459/new-york-jets-aaron-rodgers-10000-yard-milestones-60000-passing-yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
