Vikings Message Board.Com

I had some huge issues with my flight last night from Sacramento to San Antonio. So big that I'm just about to board a flight now to Long Beach and then on to Austin. Due to this mix up, I will be missing the entire game. Hopefully, the flight from Long Beach to Austin will have wifi so I can follow along here and on NFL.com. So I'm leaving up to you guys to tell me what to be outraged about! Hopefully today is a Vikings win and things play out to the extent that they clench a playoff berth. #SkolVikings

Skol! Let's hope that the game goes smoother than your flight plans.

Good Morning and Skol!

Good morning!

James (akvikingsfan): I'm sorry to hear about your flight issues and I'm sorry to hear you'll miss today's game. We'll keep you up to date an everything worthy of your outrage!

I assume you started a game thread so you could post about it while between flights. That's fine. However, Yezzir has been starting the official game day threads for a long time now and since that's become sort of a tradition, we usually leave that up to him. No harm done, it's just a courtesy we extend and you were probably unaware of it.

I've merged the threads.

Yezzir, when I merged the previous thread into yours I assumed your post would remain at the top but apparently, the site orders the merged posts in chronological order. Sorry abut that...

In the future, if everyone could please leave starting the game day thread up to Yezzir, that would be nice. It's something he really enjoys doing and as I said, it's become sort of a VMB tradition.

SKOL! Here's hoping the Vikes win today!

Damn.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Alshon Jeffery (calf, illness) is expected to play Week 15 against the Vikings.

The Bears have struggled against the run and struggled on defending kick returns so hopefully, both Peterson and Patterson will make some big plays today.

I don't think Bridgewater has played a good game against the Bears yet so I'm looking for him to play well too.

On defense, the Vikes need to watch out of those deep throws to Jeffery, get to Cutler and stop the run.

I'm nervous about this one... the Vikes don't seem to sweep the Bears often.

Sorry about that! I know he's been doing it forever. I just didn't see it yet at early o'clock. Didn't know where else to post. Thanks for merging the two. Skol.

No worries... happy travels!

Joseph inactive. Double crud.

Won't get to watch this one but I got good feels about it. I think TB comes out aggressive and despite the injuries, the D will make it a rough day for the Bears O. AD will feast today in a Vikes double digit win.

If they play like they did in Arizona while limiting the turnovers I can see that. Hopefully Harris has another good game and can get a takeaway. Not thrilled with no Smith with Viking-Killer Jeffery suiting up. Xavier will need to be hot all game and watch the hands/grabbing. Tall task. No Joseph makes me nervous about Forte/Langford. No Barr/injured Griffen worries me about consistent pass rush. Kendricks on Miller also leaves me underwhelmed. AD needs to have a big game.

O. M. G. What is wrong with our defense?

Resting them all up for the week 17 showdown for the North in Greenbay.

Looks like my flight that boards in 15 minutes will have wifi. I'll be able to follow along here! I'm going to try to watch through my Sunday Ticket, but have low hopes of actually having fast enough speeds to stream. Thanks in advance to everyone who will be posting during the game for me to follow!
