Hunter placed on ir. Hopefully the beginning of another downward spiral for the queens!
I was waiting for you to comment on the Barnies game.

I need to start to get jacked up for football. Just a weird preseason with closed practice and no preseason games.
That said, we control this from the get go. 27-17

We catch a break. This is the one matchup I worried about the most this game.

Sounds like its moving closer to him not being available. That is a big break.
We'll see on Sunday.
Both HCs have been extremely vague and and tight-lipped and I'd guess the players were coached not to share anything either
Weds injury report might offer clarity
We'll see today.

Vikings DE Danielle Hunter placed on IR with undisclosed injury

The Minnesota Vikings recently added a Pro Bowl pass rusher in Yannick Ngakoue. They will be without another Pro Bowl pass rusher for at least three weeks.
Following NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero report that Danielle Hunter's status for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers was very much in doubt due to an unspecified injury, the Minnesota Vikings announced they had placed Hunter on injured reserve.
It is not believed to be a long-term injury and is likely a back or neck injury, Rapoport reported.
Hunter did not practice on Wednesday and no reason was given to his placement on IR.
The back-to-back Pro Bowl pass rusher missed most of training camp due to an undisclosed injury. Coach Mike Zimmer had been mum on the extent of Hunter's injury, saying Monday "we'll just have to see" if the defensive end plays. Zimmer has consistently downplayed the injury as a minor tweak.
Linebacker Eric Kendricks indicated his teammates were expecting to take on a division rival without the star pass rusher and proved prophetic.
"It's going to be hard to replace a guy like that but we have guys who are hungry and want to step up too," Kendricks said Wednesday, via Matt Coller of 1500 ESPN.
The 25-year-old is coming off back-to-back 14.5-sack seasons and had one QB takedown in each game against the Packers last year. With Green Bay still trying to sort out their right tackle situation, Hunter missing the season opener is welcomed news for Aaron Rodgers.
Hunter's injury underscores the importance of Minnesota acquiring Ngakoue before the season starts.

If there’s no Hunter they have no chance. Their front 7 is awful without him.

He's been nursing that for a week or two and still practicing. Limited Participation, this early in the week, is a good sign. I think he will be fine and ready to go.

I don't really see a way the Vikings beat us without Hunter. Their secondary is toast if they can't get pressure, and Bak will shut down Yannick.

The last time I was this jacked and excited about our roster was 2014. We just have the pieces.
This team just has that feeling. Now 2014 Week 1 did not go as planned, but you could just feel that was a special team.
I feel that way about this roster too. I'm so excited for 2020.

Hey, welcome back, @kyle.mccarroll!!
Thank you sir! Sorry, been meaning to getting around to signing up but it took a little longer for me to get into football posting shape this year.

Also, to add to the confidence convo (Yoho said it best as usual): yes, I am very confident! There's nothing that the Vikings have shown lately that indicates they can beat the Packers if both teams even just remained the same as last year, and they'll be going into week one without Diggs, Hunter, Griffen, a home field advantage, and any NFL-caliber CB's. I don't think this is week 1 homering; I'd really love to hear an argument that supports how, on paper, the Vikings have any shot to not get blown out the building, much less win.

I'am so ready for some football, and this team seems charged up and ready to kick some butt
plus we'll be seeing some old familiars coming back to post there opinions, nice to see you back Kyle, Packers football seems to put other concerns on the back burner, and we all could use some of that.
