== Mailbag Questions ==<br />
* Sheldon Hofer - Who do you guys think has been the most underrated player this year?<br />
* Luke Braun - I haven't heard much from Barr, good or bad. Is he still contributing at a high level like we all assume he is?<br />
* Who of the Vikings had the worst day on Sunday?<br />
* Kenneth Allen - We have surrendered a lot of sacks in the last few games. How much is on the line (esp. injuries) and how much is on Case?<br />
* Kyle Slabby - Is it wrong to use questionable methods to take down criminals if they are objectively evil? And if so, can someone do that to Tom Brady? / Do each one of us perceive colors differently?<br />
* Sam Wagner - How important is home field advantage for Minnesota? Part 2: Do you believe this team could travel to New Orleans, Philly, or Carolina and win the NFC Championship?<br />
* Nick Olson - Which playoff teams do you think we match up against best? Worst?<br />
<br />
