Mailbag Questions
[edit]- Dylan - Is it possible that Zimmer made a deal with the devil to make Cousins a top 5 QB in exchange for his most cherished item, his corners being able to cover?
- Minnesota Vikings Football - Is there any statistically significant advantage for teams who rest their starters (adjusting for seeding)?
- Ethan - Who is your ideal first round matchup for the vikings? Its looking more and more like it will be the Packers, but who would you like to play?
- HVAC Repairman - What's really in a hotdog?
- Kenneth Allen - Should Teddy replace Rivers next year on the Chargers? They have the same wonky throwing motion after all. Is there any actual evidence the Vikings flounder the week after big wins?
- All too human - I recently heard on another podcast that statistically, home field advantage is overrated and that essentially good teams are as likely to win no matter where they play. Is there any validity to this claim?
- John Belk - Do you think the uptick in the performance of the offensive line recently is sustainable improvement that we can expect to see more of going forward, or just some variance? On the opposite side, should we be worried about how few pressures we've gotten the last 2 games?
- Duke's Code - Earl Watford has played over 150 snaps the past 4 weeks in Tampa. What % of the credit should he be given for the salvaging of Winston's career? Also discussed NDSU and JMU playoff matchups.
- Raul - Who is the most likely HOF candidate on this roster (player or coach)? Danielle, Hunter, Zimmer, Kubiak?
- Kyle Slaybee - When all is said and done, do you expect to be more disappointed in the Vikings' showing vs Green Bay or in Rise of Skywalker?
- Don from Ohio - How long can the Vikings sustain averaging 7 turnovers a game? Do you like their chances of winning the rest of their games if they do so? Also congratulated James and Arif on making the Norse Code FFL championship game via Arif's cat.
