Looking forward to the new regime.

Hopefully they escape the heat wave unscathed.

Not sure what will happen this season but its the most optimism and excitement that ive had going into a season in a long time.

Yep. This time of year I always start to believe but it’s especially strong this year. I think Justin Jefferson is going to have another huge year and if the defense can come together we might really have a squad.

Can't wait. Most optimistic I have been before the season in awhile.

Starting out the gate hot will be key, 2-0 would be very nice.

Starting out of the gate hot is never important, and this Viking's schedule is easier than some they've had. So if they lose a few early, you can always recover. The NFL has shown this time and again every season. Expecting Minnesota to beat Green Bay in Week 1 of a new regime is a lot.

I view the September games as an extended preseason. However, I do like that GB is going up against both a Viking offense & defense that they've never played against before.

I would usually agree, but the first two. Your biggest rival at home to kick off the new season and coaching staff, that's a big W for momentum. The second week, one of your toughest road matchups vs a team you will be competing for a playoff spot with.

I see a 2-0 start as strong for momentum on later on tiebreakers.

I also see if you can get to 2-0, there is no reason why this team shouldn't be at worst 4-1 after 5 (vs Det, vs Chi, road Neutral vs NO)
