Let me get this straight. They're gonna be without AP, Floyd, Kalil, and possibly Rhodes on Sunday. Anyone else I'm missing?

Ehhhh Kalil is garbage and most Vikings fans can't wait till he's off the team.  Only one of them that could play a factor is Rhodes.

Floyd is actually solid.  Rhodes is too though.

Yeah Floyd is very good when healthy. That's just a rarity.

They're banking on Rhodes shadowing KB

Dang the vikings season is just going down the tank with these injuries.

Sucks they traded away their first round pick for Bradford.  Understand they want to win now but they couldve set themselves up real well next year when healthy

I don't think the season is going down the tank at all. Floyd is probably 7th or 8th on the list of best players on our defense. We can get by without him. 

The only big loss in the latest round of injuries is Peterson, but lets not pretend he was setting the world on fire.

As far as trading a 1st for Bradford. Not too worried about it. We have Miami's 3rd and 4th rounders in the next draft on top of our own picks minus the first rounder. Losing it is not going to kill us.

Untrue about Floyd.
Tru'ish about the pick.

Here is how losing the pick hurts us. The Oline needs to be fixed. We need a new LT. Good starting LTs are typically found in the first round. We are either going to have to trade up to get one or go back to Khalil. My opinion is we are going to be stuck with khalil or pray a stud  becomes available via Free Agency.

Jesus, was their team constructed by the best Chinese factory workers?

Harrison Smith

Everson Griffin

Anthony Barr

Eric Kendricks

Xavier Rhodes

Linval Joseph

 

Those 6 players are better and more important to the defense than Floyd.
