    Been impressed by this rookie punter. Another booming punt there.

    Another special teams recovery by the Vikings. That unit is unbelievable.

    And good to see the offense take advantage.

    Slightly irritating but at least we got the touchdown.

    Side note: Vikings need a new kicker.

    Just means they can tie with a touchdown and 2 point conversion, still loads of time left though

    Vikings curse any kicker, irrelevant who it is

    Lewis holding his own with Max, despite being on the mediums and Max on the softs.

    That's a very good win for the Vikings. Cardinals are dangerous. Best game since week 1.

    Yeah for once they actually looked like contenders. Still maintain that if Snith/Hunter don’t perform their D will get annihilated by any competent QB, but they’re plying well

    Good chance Vikes will be 7-1 when they go to Buffalo with Washington next week.

    A NASCAR competitor discovered that you're actually faster if you intentionally plow it into the wall at full speed, and just keep holding down the gas pedal:

    Vikings trade for Hockensen @tomw24

    Good move I think, the NFC is so **** this year they actually have a decent chance to go quite far, Irv Smith has been disappointing and is now injured so hopefully this can help them

    **** knows what it means for cap space though as I’m sure he will be on a fair bit

    Good trade that. Isn't he still on a rookie deal so won't affect the cap space much, at least for now?
    Packers didn't trade for a WR which will piss off Rodgers.

    I just wonder if the Vikings will go in for Beckham. Won't cost much as he's coming off a bad injury. A risk but one that could pay off handsomely.

    I doubt it, think only other pieces they may go for are a corner and an offensive lineman as Ingram has been as good as a third round rookie lineman usually is in his first season.

    But they gave up a lot for Hockensen so I’d imagine that’s them done

    Thought he was on his 5th year option but read it wrong and that is next year, so they will do something about him at the end of the season. Means the end for Smith I’d imagine as he is out of contract this year
