At least we know early in the season how this will play out. I remember thinking there wouldn't be a season due to Covid.
I'm not sure which is worse; this or no season at all. Hmmm.

Thats a very good question. Looks like we might have to suffer football wise this year, hope for a bounce-back 21.
5 or 6 wins would not be a minor step-back/mini-rebuild, that's for sure.

It's clearly a rebuild. I guess it's preseason for 2021.

Before the Bye:That's not promising with how they're currently playing, scheming and game-planning.
With my zero expectations now fully met, I am going to make the choice to enjoy the NFL season. 2020 sucks too much otherwise to approach it differently. The positive? We didn't pay for season tickets this year!! YES!
Tuning in now to Ravens v Texans. And I hope the Sunday night game (Patriots/Seahawks) is a good one.
Don't they suck every other year under Zimmer? Guess we should have seen this coming.
PFF.com says the Vikings are the worst team in the league so far....easily.

I am so not bothered by the Patriots with Cam Newton. I like Russell Wilson too.

Just for a shot of optimism... how is this even a question? I've had a blast all day. It's Sunday in the fall. The Vikings suck, but you get to watch football!
Enjoy it. This is the most normal life has felt since before the quarantine orders.

See my later post just a bit further down the page. It's a question with an answer that depends on how one chooses to approach it.

I agree! I've always enjoyed watching Cam. Never thought I would see him as a Patriot but I'll take it. And I like watching Wilson and the Seahawks when they aren't playing the Vikings. Win/Win tonight!

All good. I was in a mini-funk but it didn't last too long. Just had to remind myself that my love of football isn't based solely on the Vikings *and* the world is crazy right now. Take a little joy whenever and wherever you find it. You've totally got the right attitude =)

Yea but they’ve expanded the playoffs this season... B)
Great game tonight - I was really hoping for that Cam comeback. So close!
11% may be closer to our chances of winning a game this year.

NO, they will win two or three meaningless games at the end.
So what the hell happened? Wasn't able to watch the game, but watched the highlights this morning. I saw the OL, especially Samia and Dozier, getting beat easily. I saw uncharacteristically terrible throws by Cousins...a ball behind a receiver that was tipped and intercepted, a ball to a double covered Thielen that was intercepted, when Bisi was open underneath. I saw a defense that couldn't stop the run, even late in the game, when they knew the Colts were going to run.
If it were one thing, you could say fix that thing. But the alarming thing is that it's a half dozen things. And with the Titans, Texans, Seahawks, Falcons and Packers coming up, there won't be a real chance to stop the bleeding.
So with the Jags looking good, and most of the other 0-2 teams with QBs already (Burrow, Darnold, Deshaun) might the Vikings seriously consider tanking for Trevor?
