To me, this is the single-biggest factor as to whether or not we (or anyone else, for that matter) win the Super Bowl.  If we can keep our OL intact (and healthy)... and we don't lose Harry, Kendricks, Barr or Linval... we have a good chance.  I think we can absorb some injuries at other positions- a luxury other teams may not have.

This...surviving an entire season with (most...Dalvin Cook, Sam Bradford, notwithstanding), your roster fairly intact is the recipe.

You're right. That is the recipe for a good season, but the recipe for a Super Bowl is to get hot, lucky and healthy all at the same time as you enter the playoffs. So far, so good. I mentioned last week that the Vikings hadn't really had much luck. Very few bounces, turnovers, returns, etc. Last week we saw Eric Kendricks take one back. If stuff like that starts happening, this team will be tough to beat.

Davonte Adams is out for the game Saturday.  Probably shut down for the rest of the season with Rodgers.
McCarthy reassures Hundley that Nelson and Cobb are just as good. Go get 'em, champ.

The team practiced outside yesterday. They practiced inside today but with the doors open.

I think he missed a game or two but it doesn't matter he has been rated by PFF as below average play - so his play for Carolina hasn't changed.

If the Panthers end up playing us at USB I hope Kalil gets fractured butt cheeks from the ensuing ass whipping. Kalil and Blair Walsh are mano y mano in my book as 2 of my most reviled former Vikings.

Everson beat him up pretty good and the panthers schemed him similar to how we schemed aaron donald. kalil had a good block on a TD run. other than that, was pretty average other than giving up a sack and getting help all day
