== Segments ==<br />

; Green Bay Review : Analysis of the Vikings-Packers game covering offense, defense, and special teams<br />
; Mailbag : Extended listener questions covering game analysis and corner segments<br />
<br />
== Mailbag Questions ==<br />
* Rasta - What do you believe caused the offense to stall in the second half?<br />
* Jordan Hanke - For Arif's overreaction corner: how many receiving yards will the third member of the triple threat- Johnny Mundt of course- get this season?<br />
* Cody - although he led the Vikings defense with 14 total tackles, it seemed like Jordan Hicks struggled when it came to both rush defense and coverage. do you think it's reasonable to be concerned about Hicks play? or, do you think his struggles were due to learning a new scheme?<br />
* Mikhail Skolachav - When are we going to admit bynum is actually really good and isn't giving up his starting spot?<br />
* Luke Braun - Now that Kirk Cousins has won three of the last four Super Bowls, where does he rank in terms of such dynastic quarterbacks?<br />
* Noah - Is Greg Joseph the Kirk Cousins of kickers, in that his stats look good but he still won't be trusted in big spots?<br />
* Jack - How sustainable is the kind of game Justin Jefferson had?<br />
* Tommy Gunn - did the run game seem anemic unless the run lane was immaculate, Mattison broke tackles, or Cook stretched it to the sidelines before cutting it up?<br />
* Pat - Jordan Love spiking the football with a second left should have warranted an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Does the league need to crack down on backup QBs wasting our precious time on this earth?<br />
* Sean - Who treated their receivers worse, Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning in that SNL sketch?<br />
* ZenCupid - how often it appeared that the defensive line shuffled around. Is it as ambiguous as it seemed on TV or does each lineman have a more defined role within the scheme?<br />
* Stevie - Why don't we see stats like yards per touch or ANY/A but based on median results? Or even mode?<br />
* Jthomas - What was the best item of food in the press box???<br />
* Jstite - After yesterday's performances, pick a quarterback: Carson Wentz or Trey Lance<br />
* RoRo - Can the Vikings be trusted? Also admin question for the London live show - is it ticketed/reserved to patrons?<br />
* Nolan Kehler - For Arif's Fashion Corner: if you had to describe "Kirkcore" to someone who had only a vague notion of who Kirk Cousins is, what would you tell them?<br />
* AlltwentyQ - for arif's cornered corner corner: does Jaire's comments about not being afraid of justin jefferson say more about resentment towards rasul/eric stokes or joe barry?<br />
* Browns Massage Therapists Union - For Arif's movie spoiler corner, James was insistent that this "Wade Miller of Mlps" exists. Do we think this is more of a Memento situation where James made up his savior or Usual Suspects Keyser Söze situation?<br />
* Logan - 1) we're expecting our 2nd child in late Jan/early February! which first/middle names should I submit: James Arif or Arif James? 2) should I be concerned the due date of my 2nd child will interfere with the inevitable vikings super bowl run?<br />
* Micah - for Arif's theology corner: is our Super Bowl victory over the Packers just and good because Ben DeNucci willed it, or did Ben DeNucci will it because it is just and good?<br />
* Kenneth Allen - For James' irresponsible speculation corner: how did Cris Collinsworth lose his voice before Sunday Night Football?<br />
* Damian Barrett - Which royal from popular culture would you like to see King Charles model himself after?<br />
* Don from Ohio - Where does @JuMosq admitting Arif was right rank as Arif's greatest moments of his life? Also charcoal can kill corner: Yesterday a charcoal grill destroyed multiple vehicles in the Miami Dolphins parking lot. Will James finally admit charcoal is a terrible source of heat?<br />
<br />
== Key Bits & Lore ==<br />
Don from Ohio appears with his signature charcoal vs. wood pellet debate, continuing his ongoing campaign against charcoal grilling. The episode features multiple corner segments including Arif's Overreaction Corner, Fashion Corner, and Theology Corner.<br />
