But let’s face it, kicker is always a need for the Vikings, because Vikings kickers have a hard time hitting water if they fall out of a boat on Lake of the Woods, much less...you know...making kicks.Last year’s heart attack inducer, Dan Bailey, looks like he’ll be returning:Bailey, if you’ll remember, was signed to replace Daniel Carlson, who missed three potential game winning field goals in a week two tie at Green Bay. If he makes one of them Mackensie Alexander Jersey , The Vikes end up 9-7, and get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.But, Carlson missed...all of them...and Minnesota signed a guy who was the second most accurate kicker in NFL history. He immediately sucked when he joined the VIkings, though, making only 4/9 field goals from 40-49 yards, 1 of 2 from 50 or more, and only 75% of his field goals overall with the Vikings (21/28). Because of course he did, as kicker is black cloud that hangs over this franchise for reasons that escape me.But, is he the final solution for 2019? Maybe, maybe not:I doubt they’d draft a guy Laquon Treadwell Jersey , not after the Walsh and Carlson fiascos, but bringing in an undrafted free agent, or a street free agent feels like a possibility.So, HABEMUS KICKER! Happy Tuesday, everyone!We’re only days away from the battle to claim the rights as league champion. These same two teams faced off 16 years ago, in what would become the beginning of a dynasty. Will Sunday be the end of that dynasty? It would make for good headlines and lots of media babbling......err......chatter, so I could see it being allowed to happ.........I mean, so I could see it happening. Time will tell.One thing I DO know is that Brady does not compare to the great quarterbacks of the past. Talk all day long about yards and comebacks, blah blah blah. He didn’t take abuse like the quarterbacks did a couple decades ago, and the rules weren’t configured to allow offenses to have a free run at obscene passing stats. I don’t think he’d have lasted a year if he had to endure punishment like quarterbacks did a couple decades ago. You know Ben Gedeon Jersey , before the league changed the rules after they came to the conclusion that more passing yards equals more $$$$ from tickets and league endorsed flip-flops. That’s my two cent’s worth, which, after you consider the cost of producing two pennies, is actually worth less than zero, so you just lost money by reading that. Around the DN since our last open thread:Wludford put together an in-depth profile of draft prospect, Dalton Risner. It’s one of those profiles with lots of information & stuff, not a picture of the side of the guy’s head, in case you were wondering.From Chris, Anthony Barr is leaving all his options open as he enters free agency.Arif posted Norse Code Podcast Episode 269: The Butterfly Effect.Vikings news from other sources and news from around the rest of the NFL:At Vikings.com, Wobby discusses the draft Jaleel Johnson Jersey , Kubiak’s role, and more as he opens the Monday Morning Mailbag.ESPN has a recap of last night’s events, as the teams arrived in Atlanta and met with the media.The NFL stated that the courts can’t fix a blown call, per Yahoo Sports. This was in response to a lawsuit filed by whiners fans who wanted the end of this year’s NFCCG to be replayed. Yes, I think they were serious. There’s nothing in the story where the Saints would then forfeit their appearance in Super Bowl XLIV, and allow the Vikings and Colts to replay the game. Oh, and also immediately implement the lifetime suspensions of Sean Payton and Gregggggggggggggggg Williams. We come to today’s media selection:We played a highlight reel of Adrian Peterson yesterday, now let’s watch another Viking who was one of the best of all time at his position. This is a highlight reel of Randy Moss wearing purple and gold (sometimes white and purple, but you know what I mean).Again, we all know the rules Pat Elflein Jersey , but in case someone is new:No discussion of politics or religionNo feeding of the trollsThis isn’t a male version of The View, so leave the gender hatred at the doorKeep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tagsNo pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employerIf you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go awayWhile navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasmWith that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up and tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waitress, and try the tiger meat.
