Vikings vs Eagles… Good morning Horners! What a game! Way to start your victory week with the sound win over the Philadelphia Eagles. 38-10 was the final score where the Vikings jumped out aggressively early and even though the Eagles fought back, the Vikes snatched all the momentum back with a stiff 82 yard drive and score. That’s what we love to see as fans and at Good Morning Gjallarhorn.

  Kirk Cousins was on FIRE! 22 of 29 for 333 yards and 4 TDs. He had one interception that was not his fault, but is playing like we hoped he would. Is he possessed by aliens? The truth is out there, but we don’t care. Just keep this up, and as Ted Glover says, “we have a really good football team.” Stefon Diggs had a day too, by catching 3 of those touchdowns and amassing 167 yards. Against the Eagles’ interior 7 led by Fletcher Cox that was #1 against the run, Alexander Mattison, Dalvin Cook and even Stefon Diggs amassed 122 yards. The passing and run games were for the second week complimentary of each other and Stefanski called a good game. How refreshing is that?

  The Vikings defense had its moments too, holding Carson Wentz and crew to just 20 points. Eric Kendricks seemed to be everywhere and is continuing his outstanding season. Danielle Hunter now owns the NFL record for most sacks before turning 25, and even though Wentz was slippery, he was pressured all day. If all this keeps up, we as fans have a lot to look forward to. Next, the Vikes take on the Detroit Lions in Ford Field and keep the victory Mondays going.

Vikings vs Giants… Good morning Horners! Here is your Good Morning Gjallarhorn Preview Show. The game is being played at US Bank Stadium, home of the most influential fans in the NFL.  The guys talk about the relative even overall matchup of the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles, and how important the fans in the stands will be to get inside the head of Carson Wentz and help the vaunted Mike Zimmer defense.

  Looking at the Eagles, their defensive front 7 is brutal against the run, #1 versus it in fact so far this 2019 season. However, they are ranked poorly against the pass. Like Drew says, “it doesn’t take a genius to see how to attack it” but it does depend on good Kirk Cousins showing up today and not bad Kirk Cousins. With the best wide receiver duo in the league with Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs, that should be easy. Throw in passes to Dalvin Cook in open space, Irv Smith Jr, Kyle Rudolph and Olabisi “Bisi” Johnson, and you have the makings of taking the top off the Eagles defense. The key will be for Cousins to gain confidence early, probably with quick passes to slow the pass rush. The O-line, missing Josh Kline, will have to step up their play too to help with that.

  The Eagles have scored a lot of points so far on their way to a 3-2 record. The Vikings D has held teams to just a 14 point average. The Vikes’ defense is good. They thrive off of the home fans too, so be loud! The only question Dave had was, “when will Mike Hughes replace Xavier Rhodes?” That engendered interesting conversation. What is your answer?

  The show wraps up with your Minnesota Vikings history trivia, the Eagles edition. Drew comes up with some great questions and Ted tries to answer them. Talk of Chuck Foreman, Fran Tarkenton, Wade Wilson, and Anthony Carter are just a few legends discussed, along with all those good games against the Eagles. How well you do with these trivia questions?

After five games, is the team ahead or behind of where they were last year?

Who is the biggest disappointment? Garrett Bradbury and Kyle Rudolph are leaving a lot of plays on the field..

Vikings vs Giants… Good morning Horners! What a great way to start the week! Your Minnesota Vikings traveled to MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands of NJ to defeat soundly the New York Giants 28-10.In a very aggressive play calling day on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball, the Vikes did what they should for the most part, and as Ted said, “scored 28 points the hard way.” Two touchdowns, four field goals, and a safety combined to make the game pleasurable to watch.

  Starting with the the offense, Kirk Cousins had a very good day going 22/27 with 2 TD throws and 306 yards, Adam Thielen catching both of those TDs in his 130 yard effort. Dalvin Cook got back into his high production gear again due to the offensive line probably having their best day yet. What a visible difference Josh Kline made after returning from a concussion suffered two weeks ago. He helped lead a good blocking effort that contributed to Cousins only being sacked 3 times [at east one of those holding onto the ball too long], and the running game producing 211 yards. That is 517 yards of O on the day. That wins you ball games.

  Pat Shurmur and the Giants did their best and there is hope for the organization where Danny Jones led some impressive field covering drives, but just fell short the Viking defense stiffened near the red zone.The D was led by outstanding performances from Anthony Barr, Danielle Hunter, Eric Kendricks, and Harrison Smith as usual. Even Ifeadi Odenigbo got into the fun getting an impressive sack. It was a good day for just about everyone. Drew was pleased but noted between the 20’s the defense is the definition of “bend but not break.”

  Your Good Morning Gjallarhorn host, Dave, Ted and Drew were all smiles. They expect the fanbase to be smiling too after this one. We would wonder if you’re not. If not, why? Tell us what you thought in the comments.
