Mailbag Questions
[edit]- Bob - How does one reconcile the PFF grade on Cousins and his play? Did you see his game justifying a bottom 5 grade?
- Bill Bottkee - During the comeback, the Vikings defense blitzed more and played man coverage, limiting the Colts to a field goal in the second half. Is this a recipe for success, or do we owe everything to Duke Shelley?
- Jake Tesmar - For Case Cookus comeback conspiracy corner, what would it take to sign Case Cookus as a "team believer" after he single handedly willed the Vikings to victory?
- Luke Braun's Dad - Did KJ move into the WR2 slot this game?
- Ingram's Left Foot - For the Norse Code bit corner, at what point do you delineate funny and just sad? What's your take on the two early 4th and 1 gambles?
- OneMeanHombre - For James' FB jet sweep corner why?
- Kevin - When does fatigue become an issue for the Vikings? What about load management for playoffs?
- Kenneth Allen - Will NFL fans remember this more as a Colts collapse or Vikings comeback?
- Tommy Gunn - For Arif's "Playoffs? Playoffs!?" Corner, could the Eagles be this year's Titans despite their record?
- Bryan Jellerson - Which are you willing to believe: momentum is real, magic is real, or simulation theory?
- Samuel - Has there ever been a greater sign from the heavens than your coach blowing a 33 point lead on Saturday?
- DJ Durham - What gift should the NFL give Chandon Sullivan for the refs robbing him of 2 touchdowns?
- Basecampk9 - How many downloads does the show get in Argentina and how can we pump those numbers up?
- Lee - For "Stop Making Sense" corner: How did Cousins become such a "Psycho Killer" in the 2nd half?
- JoeyGabbaGool - Does the Eagles' success exonerate Howie Roseman from not drafting Justin Jefferson?
- Don from Ohio - Why are the refs getting grief? Isn't it possible they were looking out for our best interest?
- Damian Barrett - Given Don from Ohio's Hell League rule breaches, what would be suitable punishment?
- Rmensen - What Patreon level is required for James to use commissioner powers to change Hell League scoring?
- WattsUpDog - Is Frank Reich more despondent about his former team or his 30-year record being broken?
