If the Vikings go 0-4, which is likely according to odds, the Wilf’s may be pressured enough to dump Zimmer and Spielman. Then sell off any players to contenders with injuries. On one level, a Thielen can bring a second round pick. Guys on one year deals like Peterson won’t bring much back but the saved salary can be carried over to next years cap. Let’s embrace the rebuild.

based on 1 game, the Vikes could go 8-9 and win the division... and Zimmer saves his job.

JFC, stay away from the ledge dude. It's one game. I'm as pissed as the next person, but let's see where we're at after 4 games instead of hoping to lose them all.

Take away that call on the fumble and we steal away a game we shouldn't have won (guess it all works out in the end). My belief is they aren't in sync (and I blame that on Zim) due to barely playing together in the preseason. IF, and that's a big if, they can knock off the rust and gel quick enough then we're still a pretty good team (on paper at least). Otherwise shit is going to unravel quickly. With that being said, I'll file this way as a clunker and still think we get to 10 wins and a WC. I don't think GB is as bad as they showed yesterday (like us) so it's going to be tough sledding for a division title.

Can't believe after only one game, some are already starting this crap...

It feels like this, every game, game after game, since 2018.
Offense never looks in sync, never looks dominating, refreshing DESPITE having A top duo of WR's every year A premier RB A Pro Bowl TE 1st and 2nd round picks along 4/5ths of the line Gary Kubiak, John DeFlippo, Kevin Stefanski, now Klint Kubiak It's a fucking quarterback problem period. This guy IS NOT THE GUY. I would have given anything to for us to deal him to SF this offseason. No leadership. No passion. No creativity. No mobility. No chance at franchise glory.

Every year, this same thing happens. Every year, the first week is chaos. Some teams look horribly ill-prepared. Shitty teams look like world-beaters. Everyone over-reacts to small sample
sizes. Every year, we find out no one can predict shit, except teams with Elite QBs usually do well. Furthermore, after every loss the sky is falling, and after every win, maybe we’re not so bad. One thing I feel highly confident about. Zimmer has never been worse than 7-9. I don’t see us improving the roster by this much and still being worse than that. I don’t care which teams look unbeatable right now. Some of them will get injured. Some of them will just suck. Other easy wins will rise out of nowhere and be fairly good. The margin between winning and losing any given Sunday is very small, and you can’t predict how that shakes out. |
