***2026 Minnesota Vikings***

It's one of those things where you watch, and think, "the offense isn't doing very well, then you look up at the end of the game and they have almost 500 yards. And you think, "boy the defense is getting torched" and they end up forcing 4 turnovers.

At the end of the day, this is the team. They stick around and give themselves chances. It's not always going to be pretty, but they don't quit, and at the end of the day, the scoreboard don't lie.
One thing's for sure: if you play against the Vikings, you better do it for a full four quarters. It's amazing how this team looks great on the opening drive, so-so for everything else until the last five minutes.

I continue to be mesmerized how Zimmer was so blind to this talent. This team is a good 2-7 right now under his leadership.
 
I absolutely love PA and Pete. I listen to more Vikings games than I get to watch. I have one mild criticism of PA - a lot of times when the opponent has a big play, his vocal tone comes off positive and I initially think what’s happening is good for the Vikings.

By contrast this almost never happens with Walters. I know the split second things have gone south for ISU.

Otherwise, PA and Bercich are a phenomenal team. When Bercich lets his emotions take control for a second, it’s the best.

Listened on XM radio yesterday driving back from KC. Heard the missed 4th and 1 and Paul Allen was saying how 7-2 and going toe to toe with the Bills is a helluva statement....so I turned it off. Oops!

Vikings are +2 next Sunday but should be favorites from there on out according to the postgame radio crew.
 
Cowboys are another good test. I bet public money will flow onto MIN since the Vikes just won at Buffalo and the Cowboys lost to Green Bay. But the NFL is funny like that.

Remaining schedule:

vs. Cowboys
vs. Patriots (Thanksgiving night)
vs. Jets
@ Lions
vs. Colts
vs. Giants
@ Packers
@ Bears

There's no reason at this point that Minnesota can't get the 2 seed and host a first round playoff game against the worst Wild Card, with another home game guaranteed in the Divisional Round if they win. I know the playoff structure has changed, but you have to go back to 1998 for the last time the Vikings played in multiple playoff games at home in one season.

Only thing that worries me about Dallas is that the Buffalo game was physically and emotionally draining. Might be set up for a let down. Luckily Dallas had an OT game as well that was just as emotional

Coming from a Packers fan the Vikings are surely shitting shamrocks this year
Don't go there. Those shamrocks are staying in our system.

So……Vikings are on their path of missing a FG in the playoffs to lose?
Yes. Probably. We all realize something horrible and unexpected is going to happen but right now we don't care.
