== Mailbag Questions ==
* Marxist Panther - how does it feel to be subject to the Matt Kalil Revenge game?
* Jayson Brown - now that PFF has said Case had one of his best games of the season will Arif apologize for slandering our QB?
* Sanka - What is your starting 5 for O line if Riley is out?
* Ben Balser - The Vikings gave up 6 sacks on Sunday (and 2 last week). Is this regression to the mean, too many OL injuries, the Panthers DL being amazing, teams changing pressure schemes against Case Keenum, or other?
* Jake Adams - Is the run defense a sneaky liability?
* Christian B - Give us an alternative universe scenario where the Vikings win the game, starting with the Sendejo interception
* Nick Olson - What aspects of this game bode well or poorly for the team going forward? How much can our failures be downplayed because Carolina is such a high variance team?
* TacoMangoBOOM - Does Minnesota have the highest Super Bowl chance after Wentz injury?
* Erik Sandgren - The 2nd seed is more important now that Eagles are weaker, or at least a game in Philadelphia doesn't seem as difficult anymore. Am I right?
* Hayden - Would you rather have the heartbreak we had before the season started with Teddy last year, or have it now at 11-2 like the Eagles?
* Call me Kelso - Do the Eagles sign Kaepernick and try to have him ready for playoffs?
* Kyle Slabby - When is it gonna be Teddy Time? Why can't I have nice things?
* Don from Ohio - Have either of you ever regifted before and if so did someone know it was a regift? Should the Vikings sign Rashod Hill to a long term deal, draft another OT and trade Remmers in the off season?
* Rob - In what ways is Bell a superior tight end to Bucky Hodges?
* 53 strong - What is it with the Keenum "MVP discussion" and the obsession with giving him excuses that Teddy was never afforded? What will it take for fans and media to evaluate QBs better?
* Dave Booga Peters - The starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 of the 2018 season will be _________.
* Kenneth Allen - When are you seeing Star Wars?
