Thielen (stitches) and Diggs (Flu) didn't practice. They will be fine game time.

I worry about us blocking Buckner. It seems like inside pressure kills this team.

I rewatched last week's game and here were a couple take aways.

T. Hill made some plays but Kamari and Murray were held to 80 combined yards With Kamara having the longest gain on a 9 yard reception. That's quite an accomplishment. The Saints got it done in the 2nd half against the Vikings rush offense which is also impressive.

I wonder if Reiff is healthy after getting a week off. He isn't amazing but I think when actually healthy he is better than just adequate. Will he be ready this week with a shorter week?

Only 208 passing yard for Brees. Wow

What Vikings team are we getting this week? Last week had some really impressive defensive performances. The offense could have made a couple more plays and made it easier although the Saints are talented on D. What if Hollins had somehow been able to haul in that one long pass late in the game? I'm liking Hollins. The Saints DB made a good play to break it up.

Are you sure? I heard the Vikings and Timberwolves share team docs now... Thielen is out until 2021. Diggs... might have to retire.

That is funny. I think the no updates on the Wolves side is strange.

Can Cousins play CB?

I'd guess that's why Sendejo was playing inside last week because Kearse was banged up. Only 3 healthy safeties on the roster. Often all of them will be on the field at the same plus Sendejo plays on ST. Sherels experience even though he is small could be worthwhile if they have another injury.

Rhodes just got toasted on that 5 yard slant route for the TD. Run, Run, Pass into the defense just handing over the middle of the field for free. Real bad start.

Big time drive to score there

Rhodes forced the fumble, at least the dude still tries hard.

Edit, never mind, fucker was down.
