Mailbag Questions
[edit]- Mick - Is there any mistake Derek Carr will make that David Carr won't defend?
- Brian Dunkel - How is Treadwell going to cost us the Bears game this weekend? Bad penalty on a blind side block? Tipped pass for a pick 6? Dropped pass on a crucial 3rd down?
- Zencupid - With Treadwell coming back and assuming that he's active on game day, has a team ever had 4 TEs and only 3 WRs on the active roster during a season before the 2019 Vikings?
- Kevin Jellerson - Do you think our cutting and resigning of Treadwell is analogous to hard rebooting your computer or phone? Maybe this was the reset he needed to function as a professional WR.
- Damian Barrett - Can you ask Arif if he thinks the Vikings have taken advantage of a collective "the NFL is a passing league" mindset to take capitalise on other teams being built to stop the opposition throwing the ball or have we just got very talented running backs (or both)?
- Eddie - was darren waller's success a sign of things to come for the vikings defense or an isolated incident
- Canary Yellow - What can we honestly make of the Vikings so far. Falcons beat themselves. Vikings then beat themselves V pack scum with a worst career game for our QB. Then raiders cant defend or throw or run themselves.... I believe in the Defense and cook is running great. But how good are we?
- Anton - Does Ben Gedoen in fact Exist? Or is he a figment or our imaginations. Because I don't think his name has ever been called during a viking game.
- Matt Fries - Do the NFL teams also have to deal with watching the horrible Soldier Field All22 angle or is Gamepass holding out on us?
- Caleb Ardnt - Who would be more accurate hitting receivers on the left side of the field—Trubisky or Blair Walsh kicking a field goal in a pressure situation?
- Kenneth Allen - Which Vikings/Redskins QB mistake was dumber: Cousins kneeling out the half in the redzone or Keenum thinking he could end the play by crossing the yard to gain on 4th down while not near the endzone?
- Corey Ruegg - Should The Good Place delay their season to reshoot and pay homage to Minshew II?
- Don From Ohio - How's Arif feeling right now after Teddy Bridgewater beat his favorite team last weekend? It must be like his Dukes were playing against themselves. Which Avengers actor or actress would you like in the @NorseCodeDN FFL? Which one do you think would succeed the best or fail the worst?
Key Bits & Lore
[edit]The episode featured multiple questions about Laquon Treadwell's return to the team and potential impact, as well as a question from Don from Ohio regarding Arif's Duke fandom and a fantasy football question about Avengers actors.
