Vikings week two: Monday night in Philly
#1
It's bad enough we play a night game, but the absolute worst possible game slot for a fan is the 2nd bill of a Monday Night double header. That's what the Vikings have week two.

This is week 2, correct? Don't they open the week prior at home against the Giants?

Yep, read that wrong. You're right, it's week two. I guess the rumor is that the Vikings open at home against the G-Men? Still, HATE Monday night games. And super hate the 2nd game.

So sounds like we have 3 of the first 4 games. 

Sunday, Sept. 11th - Giants @ Vikings (rumored)
Monday, Sept. 19th - Vikings @ Philly
Sunday, Sept 25th - ??? (likely a home game)
Sunday, Oct. 2nd - Vikings @ Saints in London

I mean that looks like we could and should be favored in 3 out of the first 4.  Good way to start a season if we could get to 3-1 out of the gate with two (Philly and NO) road games off the list

We look to have a favorable schedule this year for once!  I would think the 9/25 home game would be a divisional game so likely Bears/Lions??  That would be a nice schedule to get acclimated to a new HC/OC and 3-4 defense scheme.

Yeah, and the thing about Donatell's defense is that it can be really confusing for young QBs. We have Danny Dimes, then Hurts, then mistake prone Winston in week 4. Be nice to get Fields in week 3.

You and I both know the Bears @ Vikings will be the regular season ender @ USB.
