The Vikings could lose in the first round of the playoffs this year, but with that said, this year doesn’t feel at all like 2022 (to me). For one thing, the Defense SUCKED in 2022 & Aaron Jones in 2024 is better than Dalvin Cook in 2022. Nobody expected the Vikings to start 9-2 this year, but they’re (clearly) not necessarily a SB contending team either. Agree winning the next 3 games at home is certainly do-able if Vikings can play more consistently.@handyman The point is all of the teams that they are about the play, each one is better than what they just played the last 4 games, except the Bears as we play the Bears one more time.
Yes, they absolutely can win most of these games when you look at in game by game. But in the aggregate if they keep playing like this there isn't going to be any 5-1 or 4-2, they need to step it up.
In 2022 we lost to a 9-7-1 in the first round at home. This season is starting to feel similar to that one.
These next 3 games are at home and would be big if they could start playing better and keep winning. Detroit has Chi, GB, Buf coming up.
I am not saying they are playing well or that they can afford to take anything for granted. I'm just saying they aren't playing murderers row here if they play even decent football they should get 3 wins.
Not even a Vikes fan (I do want them to succeed, b/c most my friends are Vikes' fans) and after their fast start (IIRC is was after week 5), a few weeks ago, I made a bet with a friend that they would have 12 wins this year. I think I'm good.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
