Game Thread: Vikings vs Eagles: Thursday Night Thread

[Sharkonabicycle]

Jalen Carter will probably have 1.5 sacks and 5 pressures with 4 tackles, while Witherspoon sits out another week or is injured in the 1st quarter...

I’m playing Vikings +6.5 and over 49 points.

But you only have $500.14 in SportsHoopla cash. As a result, you have no credibility. Add in the fact you're an Eagles fan, that's a minus 5 right there.

The SportsHoopla bookie should charge Eagles fans an extra 5% vig. Who's with me?

Guilty. I don’t gamble much with e-dollars because they can’t fucking buy anything haha. That said, I’m not a great gambler. I pretty much win and give back the same $250-300 every season playing college and pro games. I play too many games because the app is on my phone, I get bored and want to make a game interesting so I’ll put a play in on a game.

Vikings LT Christian Darrisaw (ankle) is active for Week 2 against the Eagles.
As is EDGE Marcus Davenport (ankle). Darrisaw’'s presence will make life easier for Kirk Cousins, though the Vikings will be without C Garrett Bradbury (back). That is not good news vs. a team with Philadelphia’s front-seven firepower. Joining Bradbury on the shelf are QB Jaren Hall, TE Nick Muse, LB Andre Carter and DL Jaquelin Roy.

Eagles declared RB Kenneth Gainwell, CB James Bradberry, QB Tanner McKee, S Reed Blankenship, OL Tyler Steen, DT Moro Ojomo and TE Albert Okwuegbunam inactive for Week 2 against the Vikings.
No surprises, though certainly a few notable absences. With Gainwell week to week with a rib issue, the Eagles figure to turn to D’Andre Swift as their No. 1 back, though Week 1 healthy scratch Rashaad Penny could take the lead between the tackles. Boston Scott will also undoubtedly mix in for touches. Swift is a high-risk, potentially high-reward RB3/FLEX.

Oh now Judge, stop being all emo... we had a breakthrough in session during 2021, we don't need to go here again. Christ....

I was initially nervous about this one, but the Vikings' offensive line problems are making me feel a little better.

The Eagles have some flaws in the middle backside of their defense right now that can be exploited and Jordan Addison is probably going to have a huge game.

But...the Eagles are not a team you want to play with a weak or banged up offensive line. They are loaded up front.

[Iggloo]

Does Swift become the workhorse in Gainwell's absence, or does an activated Penny or Boston Scott take that role?

You never know with this backfield, but I would guess Swift and Scott. Penny has not looked good in this system so far.

He's thinking, damn I could car crash the crap out of those dudes?

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Can the Vikings rebound?

49 total pts is the line... Eagles -6.5 is the line...

No, Cousins in prime time vs one of the best teams. We get wrecked tonight.

 

[PDay8810]

they didn't pay him to do less.

Really?

We did.

Wonder what happened to all those empties thou..............

 

[bksballer89]

That's a disgusting play call on 3rd and long.

 

[Iggloo]

If we're being honest about it...

Is anyone else's stream totally fucking up??

Brittain Covey sucks! Glad we picked up his fumble. Guy is a waste of a roster spot IMO.
