Alliance... » As I neglected to get to it earlier in the week

Mackensie Alexander Jersey , let’s take a look at the most recent Minnesota Vikings FanPulse polling before we kick things off against the Detroit Lions.As you’d expect, the big performance from the Vikings in their 41-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday gave fans quite the significant boost in their level of confidence.In this week’s polling, 54% of Vikings’ fans said that they were confident in the direction of the team. That’s up significantly from a season low of 17% going into the Dolphins’ game.One has to wonder how much of an effect the firing of John DeFilippo and the promotion of Kevin Stefanski would have had on the previous week’s numbers had it happened earlier. Last week’s polling took place too late to account for the change at offensive coordinator, but I think that it might have been a little bit higher had fans been able to use that as part of their thought process.Fans of the Vikings are expecting a fairly comfortable win this afternoon against Detroit, as the average shows a prediction of an eight-point victory today at Ford Field. Hopefully that will hold true and we will see that number continue to trend upwards. Along with everything else that’s happening today, it’s the day that those who have a vote make their decision on who will be a part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2019. Unfortunately Laquon Treadwell Jersey , it appears that the one player on this year’s list with any ties to the Minnesota Vikings has fallen short in his second attempt at enshrinement in Canton.According to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, guard Steve Hutchinson was not among the players that were selected for enshrinement this year.To this point, as far as I can tell, the following players and contributors will be enshrined this year:Champ Bailey, cornerback, Washington Redskins/Denver BroncosPat Bowlen Ben Gedeon Jersey , owner, Denver BroncosGil Brandt, executive, Los Angeles Rams/San Francisco 49ers/Dallas CowboysTony Gonzalez, tight end, Kansas City Chiefs/Atlanta FalconsTy Law Jaleel Johnson Jersey , cornerback, New England Patriots/New York Jets/Kansas City Chiefs/Denver BroncosKevin Mawae, offensive lineman, Seattle Seahawks/New York Jets/Tennessee TitansEd Reed, safety, Baltimore RavensJohnny Robinson Pat Elflein Jersey , safety, Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs (Senior Committee selection)The formal announcement of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2019 is coming at approximately 5:00 PM Central time. When it comes down, we will update the final list here.Here’s hoping that Steve Hutchinson can take that final step when it comes time to vote for the Class of 2020.
