When it comes to road games in the NFL, I rewrite Steve Miller: "Go on, take the W and run"
Anyway, anyhow, U-G-L-Y we don't need no alibi I'll take it.
1-6 all time @ Cincinnati. I have no idea what this team will look like, have to wait and see.

This is where my head is at too...
Week1 in the NFL is infamous for weird things going on, upsets and peril for favored teams
Its a road game and this is the Vikings
I'll take a 1 point, last second win and run like hell with it.

Sure, of course we'll take it. But you know as well as I do, a one point squeaker over a bottom dweller is not going to alleviate all concerns (among fans, media or even team), and send us skipping doo da into Arizona. I just want to see a performance equal to the talent on the roster. Really shouldn't be too much to ask.
Our DL is stacked. Play like it.
Our QB has the best WR/WR/RB combo in the league. Play like it.
Our OL, a cause for concern for the last two decades, now has 1st and 2nd rounders all over it. Play like it.
I could go on....

Sorry to be a negative nellie....I dont have faith in the staff to get that out of this team on a regular basis.

Me either. But I really do appreciate MB's enthusiasm and optimism because I think it comes from a place of intelligence....although a small tinge of homerism. Just a smidge. And that's fine. MB keeps me hoping, and honestly I like hoping that the team could be good....until I'm slapped back into reality which always happens.

Well said, Sticky. I've been beaten down so many damn times by this team, but MB has a way of being hopeful again.  SKOL!

That's just it, play like it. Until they do it on a consistent basis and have complete games, that uncertainty will be there even if it's in the background. Also COVID uncertainty will always be there because dumbasses gotta dumbass. Do I honestly think all areas of the team gel right away? Nope.

Demanding the team finally play up to its talent is homerism? It sounds like we're saying the same thing. I'm saying this team is talented. OK, so play like it. PF thinks the coaching staff isn't capable of getting that from its players. I wouldn't go that far, but I do have concerns that what we see on the field may not match the team we have on paper.
The only real argument, then, is that this team just ISN'T as talented as we think..even on paper. Now, I don't hear anyone actually making that argument, but THAT'S the argument.
You want homerism? I think this team blows out Cincinnati. I will be shocked and horrified if this game is within 14 points. I'll break down why when we get into predictions.
