PrplChilPill Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Wide open division, likely the worst in football, next year. That said, if they keep Kirk, the Vikings will have a huge advantage at QB..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more worried about the Lions than the Bears next season I think that will depend on the coach and direction of the team. Living in Chicago I see a lot of Bears games, and Fields was really held back by Nagy, as expected. He flashed several times and with a new FO and coaching staff I think he can still be a really good QB. I'm not going to worry about the Lions if Jared Goff is the QB. Bigger picture - none of these teams are scary in the next 2 years, and the Vikings should try to get ahead and make the others chase them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Goff is just a short-term fix...I don't think much about the future of Love, as I think they'll figure out pretty quickly that he's a bust. And as far as Fields, their new HC will determine his future. He has lots of talent, but I'm still not sold on the Bears as the organization to help bring that out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's still a good quote, nonetheless...and very true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just seen the Bears are hiring the colts former DC - I'd love to see the Bears get stuck in a loop of a new OC & Scheme every year like the Vikings have found themselves in. Lions will draft a QB with one of their first rounders this year most likely. I can see them being a 2014-2015 Vikings esque team who can play any team close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can't agree with that. This division will likely be as wide open as it has ever been since the Favre/Rodgers days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Rodgers and Davante, they are a middle of the road team, even if they somehow find a way to bring back both of the Smiths on defense. This division will be wide open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which probably helps Kirk Cousins out a lot. I think it’s very likely that Cousins gives this team the best shot of winning next year. There won’t be a veteran as good as him realistically available to Mn. I could see making the playoffs as a huge priority for a first year head coach. You want to start creating a winning culture it should happen year one. If the defense can get to middle of the pack with mostly the same offense, I don’t see why MN can’t win 9-10 games and win the division. If Rodgers and Adams return, it certainly makes a path to a division much more challenging. Edited January 28, 2022 by vikingsrule 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikings209 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Personally I don't care what background the new coach has, as long as he can be a true leader like Tomlin, John Harbaugh, Belichek, McVay. People like that is what wins not just being offensive or defensive minded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Looking toward the draft for the NFC North and our rivals draft positions it appears that the Vikings lucked out in the way the draft order shook out. Lions second 1st rounder from the Rams will be 31 or 32. Bears sucked but their pick is the Giants Packers went pretty far this season but ultimately fell short. Couldn't be better from a Vikings perspective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
