CBS: Vikings will be worse this year

So not long after Bleacher Report predicted the Vikings will win exactly 1 more game this year than it did last, CBS chimes in with its prediction: Packers win the Super Bowl and the Vikings, despite adding Hunter, Pierce, Tomlinson, Richardson, Barr, Kendricks, Peterson, Breeland, Alexander and Woods to last year's injury-depleted team, will be one game worse this year than it was last year.

....and then has another article saying how Michael Pierce is going to help change the power structure of the NFCN. Click bait.

Its the fan writing sites that they all include that is the garbage. Content, content, content....the name of the game. And with so much content comes the garbage.

I get it. The Packers look like the best team in the North yet again. So that leaves us in the crowded wild card hunt. The defense has been reloaded and I'm excited about it, but our schedule looks difficult and the vaccine stuff might be the 1-2 game difference that convinces people to place their bets elsewhere.
I'm predicting 10-7 and playoffs. We'll see what happens.

This is a 10-12 win team, that I'm willing to bet is going to finish with 8-9 wins, miss the playoffs, because of Covid and our unvaccinated players.

Probably pretty accurate.

Agree 100%  

Add: Zimmers last year???

I remember, only a few weeks ago, making fun of the Packers and the Erin Rodgers debacle and getting all excited that this team was ready to overtake for the Division.  Not going to happen!  What a difference a few eeks make.  One of the worst training camp/preseasons I can remember - IMO.  F'in Pack.

I think the Bears might be competing with us for 2nd place.

Who cares about predictions, good or bad? They have no effect on outcome. Same with power rankings, this isn’t college football.

Fixed it for you.

Just read a fantasy article on how terrible the Steelers OL is because they're starting two rookies. So are the Packers. Not only that but for several weeks anyway they will be playing their guard out of position at left tackle. The other two? An undrafted league average guard and a journeyman RT on his 4th team. I guess when you have Aaron Rodgers your OL doesn't matter? There's SOME truth to that I guess, but I think this could be a bigger problem than anyone dares admit.

I think AR gets a ding, they lose some games early and he shuts it down to spite the packers.
