Vikings look a lot better than last year

Was watching a little bit of the game earlier and was thinking about the possibility of a Bills-Vikings Super Bowl

 

Someone would have to win it this time around!

 

I'd love it because Cousins when the game is on the line is typically not very good.

Vikings are a Superbowl contender IMO. They wouldn't be in the AFC but in a weak NFC their weapons and rebuilt defense make them dangerous.

Playoff contender but I don't see them doing this all year.

Addition by subtraction of their HC.

 

There former HC used to maintain good defenses except last year.

The new DC improved their defense too.

Put an Offensive Coach in there and magically the offense looks great. Zimmer probably took them out to the woodshed if they dropped a pass.

I'm a 21 year exile in Minnesota. Nothing would make me happier than a Bills-vikings super bowl. Buffalo wins of course.

Both 0-4 in the Big One.

There was a guy on SXM last week saying the Vikings will easily win the division as Green Bay has lost too many receivers and also LB Za'Darius Smith (to the Vikings, no less), and Rodgers is too old now to do it all by himself. He also said he wasn't sold on LaFleaur being that good of a coach. He said he was puzzled why everyone was so high on Green Bay. I agreed with everything he said, and am also puzzled why TBD predicted they would win the NCF North in Yolo's poll. Green Bay may not even make the playoffs this year. Sad way for Rodgers to end his career. I don't think they, SF, and possbly the Rams and Arizona make the playoffs this year.

 

EDIT: Well, obviously one of the Rams, AZ, or SF will win the NFC West this year, but I don't think any of them will be great.

Just going to go out on a limb here and say that the Vikings will never get to a SB with Cousins as their QB.

I’ve been to Minneapolis several times and really enjoyed it. It’s a great city that certainly celebrates summer! It’s a great vibe and I loved downtown and a few restaurants we found. 

 

I went once in the winter. They were the Redskins back then. It was 9 degrees outside and we crunched across the snowy road to a Pizza Hut. I didn’t enjoy that quite as much.

Suddenly, Bills/Titans may be the less intriguing week 2 MNF game to most fans outside of the Bills/Titans fanbases.

The next team Minnesota plays should try and cover Jefferson, that guy seems good!

You doubt Preston Smith's coverage abilities?

Agreed with everything. I visted once in the winter. Not sure why the NFL chose to host SBXXVI there, lol.

That being said, Vikings played very good. I'm still skeptical of Kirk Cousins being the leader of a championship team.

Cousins in veritably chokes a bit every season, the Vikings are the Cowboys north, both teams QBs are bound to choke away opportunities later in the season. 

[Bray Wyatt]

Green Bay crapped the bed last year on opening day, I am going to reserve judgment on both teams

[Big Blitz]

The Vikings are better and I like them but the Packers are missing a handful of key guys especially on the oline.

Cousins is not elite, but the Vikes did him no favors going through OCs like crazy.

He had a new OC every year he was in Minnesota.

John DeFilippo

Kevin Stefanski

Gary Kubiak

Klint Kubiak

That's just stupid.  Now with a new HC and OC let's see.  The got some talent.

They look much better but making too much of week 1 in NFL is a bad idea. You want the win but don't look too much into it otherwise.

Based on one guy.

A guy whose body I think is showing some signs that he's not up for the long haul any more.

Looked more like his brain not up for long haul today

The Vikes are my sleeper team in the NFC this year.  I will look like I knew what I was talking about or be adding hot sauce to my crow.
