<br />
== Segments ==<br />
; Opening : Patreon updates and upcoming live show announcement<br />
; Lions Game Review : Analysis of the Vikings vs Lions game<br />
; Mailbag : Listener questions covering analytics, defensive schemes, and player performance<br />
<br />
== Mailbag Questions ==<br />
* Rmensen - Could we get a brief run down on what the analytics say about all of Dan Campbell's 4th down decisions? I think that's the most I've seen in a single game in recent memory.<br />
* Justin Eckstrom - Will the defense even be able to adjust to each opponent week to week? Or, are they just keeping it that way because it puzzled Rodgers once?<br />
* Kenneth Allen - Last week the players and coaches said the issue with the defense was execution, not scheme. After another awful performance, which do you think is more to blame?<br />
* Cody - do you think the trend of teams taking Jefferson out of the game will continue throughout the season? or, do you think O'Connell will be able to scheme him into some big games? Or, also, is Jefferson simply too good to be shut down every game like this?<br />
* Swed-man-bob - Is CJ Ham now above Justin Jefferson in the depth chart having out gained him?<br />
* Luke Braun's Dad - How do the doors open in the stadium affect wide right kicks?? If so can we get those closed on Vikings kicks and open on opponents???<br />
* Plagued - Why cant we scheme an offense that isnt depression era hopeless?<br />
* DJ Durham - Did the Vikings purposely fall behind and manufacture a comeback in an attempt to emulate JMU?<br />
* Timothy - Did the NFL watch the key and peele skit and believe that it was due time to give an excessive hip thrust penalty??<br />
* Mark - My dream for the 2023 NFL Super Bowl is to be the sadness bowl, Vikings Vs Bills. One team wins their first Super Bowl, and the other loses their fifth straight. What is the ideal outcome for this perfect storm of sadness?<br />
* Andrew Schuba - Did Thielen and Irv Smith coordinate an elaborate heist to sneak into O'Connell's office and swap Jefferson's name in the playbook with their own?<br />
* DJ - For Arif's Midwestern Hospitality corner, do the Vikings typically make arrangements for an opposing player that is somehow left off the team plane as it departs? Definitely not asking for Amani Oruwariye.<br />
* LaBuff - Question for Arif's All-Clad stainless steel enthusiast corner — if prominent members of the Vikings were specific types and brands of cookware, what would they be?<br />
* Dr. Aron Matson - With Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond being included on FIFA 2023, what fictional American football teams would you like to see included in the next Madden game?<br />
* Don from Ohio - Did this win remind you more of: The Brad Childress era or the end of the Mike Zimmer era?<br />
* Sean - With the butt punt joining the NFL Butt Playbook, is it possible that we will ever see a butt 'kick'?<br />
* TankBee - For Arif's job change corner, I am the favorite to get a new job with a government contracting agency that requires low level security clearance. As such, I have scrubbed and locked down my personal Twitter. As the most current expert on abandoning your old job for something new, what am I most likely forgetting?<br />
* Ro Ro - For Arif's bee corner, what are the benefits, and challenges, of raising a hive in a goal post<br />
<br />
== Key Bits & Lore ==<br />
