RE: Vikings ZERO Pro Bowlers - comet52 - 12-24-2025
I thought they stopped playing the Pro Bowl because it turned into a joke. I stopped paying attention years ago TBH so what do I know.
I'm not big into beauty contest stuff anyway. Winning a title would be 1000x more fun than having a dozen pro bowlers on yet another of the one and done or no playoff squads which are pretty much the norm here for the last 25 years.

Yeah. I don't place much stock into the Pro Bowl selections. I doubt the Wilfs do either but in looking at this board, others, and in talking to friends-- enthusiasm for the Vikes is in the gutter and that apathy will start to hit the books soon if it hasn't already. I don't know if the Vikings need some kind of splash move in the offseason or if time will pass and everyone will be fired up again next August, but it's a drag seeing the state of the fandom right now. At least Kirk was a lightning rod haha. McCarthy is like the kid on the soccer team who try as he might, just can't score a goal. Everyone is rooting for him but mostly it's just been sad.

They went all in on spending for the roster, for the lines and the signings didn't hit (i.e. Allen etc.) or hit big (Fries) ala 2024
McCarthy was/is green and fragile as glass till he proves otherwise
Injuries smite the team in a biblical fashion
I'd say those are 96% of the reason we're not playing for anything the next two weeks
I expect a QB signing and some significant roster re-tooling into 26. Probably some coaching staff pruning too.
Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the front office/personnel staff.
