***Official Falcons at Vikings gameday thread***
Oh boy, another football season starts today for our local squad. Looking forward to another year of commenting during games and seeing what kinds of emotional roller coaster rides this team takes us through throughout the season. It should be a good one today, a matchup between two teams that some predict could meet again in the playoffs, but that's a long ways down the road. Just focus on today and beating those dirty birds, make it another revenge game for 98, but this time Bailey connects on the game winner, killing our kicking curse once and for all. Skol Vikes.
I apologize in advance if what I just said offended or upset you.

Since 1998 the Vikings have 5 playoff wins, zero Super Bowls and have made the playoffs back to back twice.
It seems like yesterday when Gary Anderson kicked it wide left right at me in the Metrodome. Section 118, row 3!

Stefon Diggs expected to play on Sunday
Posted by Josh Alper on September 8, 2019, 8:23 AM EDT
The Vikings came into the first weekend of the 2019 NFL season with a sizable question mark in their receiving corps.
Stefon Diggs missed practice on Wednesday with a hamstring injury before returning to take part in Thursday and Friday’s practices on a limited basis. That led the team to list him as questionable to play against the Falcons on Sunday.
It looks like the answer to that question will be a positive one for the Vikings. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Diggs is expected to be in the lineup of the season opener.
Assuming Diggs does get the nod, he’ll be in the starting lineup with Adam Thielen while Chad Beebe, Olabisi Johnson and Josh Doctson round out the receiver group for Minnesota.

I've been that way every day up to today. But now, it's gameday and it's back. Hopefully we aren't disappointed by a thud like the Thursday night game.

Holdin my breath that Diggy doesn't hurt the hammy worse today....maybe they'll be using him mostly as a decoy to free up Adam?AaronVikes wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 9:55 am Stefon Diggs expected to play on Sunday

Seems like a lot of 1st games of the season are choppy....lots of penalties, lots of misplays, etc.....guess it doesn't matter how pretty things are today, just gotta scrap and fight and come out with a "W", then on to Title Town!jffl_commish wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 10:23 amI've been that way every day up to today.

my guess is that it's a little pennant fever that has people not as focused on the purple right now. twins are the hot story.Hornets wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 10:25 amSeems like a lot of 1st games of the season are choppy....lots of penalties, lots of misplays, etc.....guess it doesn't matter how pretty things are today, just gotta scrap and fight and come out with a "W", then on to Title Town!jffl_commish wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 10:23 amI've been that way every day up to today.

I bought my first Vikings scratch off lottery ticket of the year this morning and didn't win anything on it. So, if the Vikings lose today it's clearly my fault. Sorry guys.

Also, Dakota Dozier and Rashod Hill only other offensive lineman active, who is the backup center? Or do they move Elflein over to center?

Been buying the 2 buck ones all week and am up 7 bucks on 8 tickets. Got 3 more for the game. Vikes win by at least 7 and I win a billion dollars. Pretty sure it's a lock.jffl_commish wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 10:40 am I bought my first Vikings scratch off lottery ticket of the year this morning and didn't win anything on it.

Hopefully they don't push Diggs too much, said he will have to be monitored.
