VIKINGS 5-0!!!

Question - Does the 5-0 start INCREASE the probability of a splash trade?

If so, who are we going after?

I said this last week and I think it does, for sure. But really: Mason is coming back. AJ has been amazing, he'll be great with 2 weeks rest and his load diminished. I'm not sure a trade at RB is guaranteed, and if so probably more on the minor side than splash. Huber has been almost a revelation. I think the Vikings could get someone decent on the cheap comp-wise. What position would the splash come from? 🤔

Using Teirnan as our blocking TE, so maybe there?

But who is out there to fill Oliver's role?

This. This team has flaws but 5-0 is rare and they have upside to be good on O. Enjoy the season guys!

I want to see how they stack-up to the Bills, 49'ers and in some tough divisional games

But yah, fans better enjoy the good times when they are here...

Agree. Someone brought up, maybe you that 6-6 the rest of the way looks about right. If we are better than that, and I think we could be, the sky is the limit.

Has our schedule been easy? Or did our beating those teams make our schedule look easier than it really was?

I'd say the last two teams were easy, but we did beat the Packers and the Bears, both playoff teams last year, and the Bucs, the team most people picked to win the NFC South. The Colts are no better than those teams. Lions have the worst defense in the NFL. 32nd of 32.

Bills, Packers in Lambeau, followed by the 49ers in CDMX will be a truly tough stretch though.

The Vikings are on the come, believe it or not. Offense still has plenty of upside. Should be getting players back against the Colts. One week at a time, obviously the better teams will be more of a challenge. Hopefully the team keeps incrementally improving as they play those better teams.
