***2026 Minnesota Vikings***

[Cyclone06]

Tough first game for JJ.. don’t love that

Excuses for the pud already

 

[cytor]

The last time the Vikings made the playoffs 2 years in a row was 2008-2009. That was 16 years ago. They made the playoffs last year, so....... not sure if I like their chances this year... especially with a QB that has never played a reg season NFL snap. Just sayin.

Realistically I think this is a 7-9 win team just based on the schedule compared to last year. Vikings played the AFC South and NFC West. This year they will play NFC East and AFC North

QB's the Vikings will play against in 2025 outside of the NFC North include:

Lamar Jackson
Joe Burrow
Jalen Hurts
Jayden Daniels
Dak Prescott
Justin Herbert

It's a much harder list compared to last year

Wildly overrated, overpaid and always hurt.

2 Primetime games to start the season:

And another Primetime game. Lot of morning & night games this season:

My biggest interest is if the defense comes ready to play on day one. Even if McCarthy is a future HOF, he'll need some time to adjust. The defense (especially DBs) need to be strong early.

Good news is we get Cincinnati week 3, so that should be a W with their notoriously slow starts

I'm going 8 wins, miss the playoffs. Hope I'm wrong.

And another Primetime game. Lot of morning & night games this season:

If you play Dallas you probably have an 80% chance the game is in prime time being that the NFL gives them prime time spots practically every week

I can see any number of outcomes, most depending on the improved line being as good as I hope. If they're one of the better units in the league, along with the running game, they could be right there in the playoff race. If they're middling or bad, it could be a long season. Just going to enjoy the ride

 

[Texbudman]

I actually love the fact we don't have to go to Pittsburgh or Cleveland. Get 2 neutral site games over 2 road games. And, people in the UK seem to love the Vikings so it could end up being somewhat of a home game

And two teams with no good quarterbacks

Sounds like Kwesi got his extension today.

 

[bontheory33]

Hopefully the fanbase isn’t too hard on McCarthy this season

 

[cytor]

Sounds like Kwesi got his extension today.

I would be fine keeping him around if someone else handles the drafts. Kwesi does good with free agents... not so much on draft day.
