Wk 8-Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings Pregame thread. 10/21/22-10/29/22

Why would any team trade for Hudson with his bad knee that has kept him out of most games this year? You would be trading for a guy that you really don't have any idea whether or not he is able to play. I'm also not sure he would pass anyone's physical.

I don't think his knee is as bad as they say it has been the last 2 weeks...I really think they are protecting him from injury to try and trade him.

Personally I don’t understand looking at TDs as any kind of indicator of skill. For a back like Conner it’s more an indicator of the success of the offense. Yes his short yardage skill was crucial in getting those TDs, but he’s not a good enough rusher to create those opportunities. So imo you pay him as a premier short yardage back specialist, not as a top flight rb. He was an overpay. And three years was kinda silly given his proclivity for injury.

 

[Krangodnzr]

seriously both Hudson and Garcia out. Ford was limited at practice but will play. Hump is questionable but sounds like he'll play.

Can you imagine our OL if Hump can't play

I want to see Josh Jones play...I think he can hold his own now, so losing Hump isn't as devastating as past years

I want to see him play RT though not LT.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

im not going to dog him

i think its quite possible that he considered retirement because his body didn't recover from the season like he wanted ...... but decided to give it one last go.

this situation is on Keim. He got lucky that Price was still around

“One last go” is virtually always a disaster. You always get injured skiing when you’re tired and want to squeeze in one last run. Also see: Tom Brady.

He clearly has shown he’s a much better left tackle than right tackle.. but that being said he couldn’t be much worse than Beachum

Bucs interior is decimated. Brady plays under Center. Interior pressure is killing them. Licht and Bowles are on the hot seat already. I can see a team like the Bucs trading a 6th for Hudson.

Yes please!

I have no faith in us getting right today.

I fell into the trap on the Seahawks game. I thought with the Seahawks defense and our road record that would be the perfect get right game and we stunk on offense.

At the same time I think the Vikings 5-1 record flatters them, but it would surprise me if we pulled off the win today. Fingers crossed though.

On the plus side, early game so no staying up late!

Yep, and I will be able to watch the game on NFL+ right away, as soon as I drop my friend off.

Sadly, I agree with you on our chances.

Looks pretty certain that the Vikings will win the North and that they are a pretty good team. I am hoping/expecting the Cardinals to improve on both sides of the ball. As for winning the game, I'll pick the team that wins the turnover battle, as the teams are pretty closely matched. JMO.

I appreciate the info, but there seems to be stats for EVERYTHING.

 

[Dr. Jones]

With DJ out...... Kyler may be running for his life. I have no faith in our ability to stop JJ and Dalvin.

Plus...... My entire family is full of Minny fans. A drubbing is my destiny.

The excuses as to why we need to run it back next year are staring us right in the face.

Unfortunately...... All of them are dead wrong. Fire everyone

I can’t believe Simmons was covering Jefferson. That was insane. VJ should be fired for something that stupid.
