It's a strange position to be in as a fan of the VIkings right now for me. The reality is this team needs to win 6 or 7 games to even have a shot at a playoff spot and that ain't happening. IMO Mike Zimmer is 1 bad loss (blowout) away from being fired. My enthusiasm for the team has waned to a point I don't much care if we win or lose because I know what to expect on game day with Zimmer at the helm and that's a strange feeling.

Reality is even at 2 games under .500 we are only 1 game back from the 7th seed and we beat 2 of the teams right around us for that spot.
Depends as much on what teams like Atlanta and San Fran do along with what we do. 8-9 might be enough. Could you imagine a 7-10 playoff team. Not impossible in the NFC.

You forgetting about the Seahawks who just got Russ back. Expect them in the mix down the stretch and a favorite. I see them getting that 7 spot. Falcons would be another serious contender.

Slow down and read. I said two of the teams we are competing with we beat. That would be the Seahags and Pathers. I also said the Falcons will have a say in it. I'm not counting the 49ers out yet either. I just feel somebody needs to step forward or the NFC could be fielding a playoff team with a losing record.

If being a Viking fan was easy ~ everyone would do it.

Slow down on the playoff talk.. You have to win games to get in LOL. It will take at least 8 wins to get in if that. 7 not going to get it done watch. Someone always steps forward, like I said 8 get's you in anything less not going to get in. The winner get's killed wild card weekend too.

I read chill this doesn't mention Seahawks now does it.. So you forgetting about them. I trust Russ in the clutch over all these teams including us down the stretch. Based on history.

Sorry man. I guess I figured most know the conference standings. We got 3 wins and 2 of those teams we beat are right in our mix.

Yes. And whatever that outcome, win every game after that too.

Don't overcomplicate this, it can only make you enjoy football less. The Vikings aren't playing 6 or 7 games on Sunday only 1. You don't need to condition your happiness on something that may or may not happen in January.

Football = good
Football win = better
Football Loss = (see original Football take)

I'm not over complicating it and I sure won't enjoy this upcoming game any less if we lose. Quite frankly I'll be happy regardless of how many games the Vikings win in 2021. This Sunday will be more about experiencing a live sporting event in a state of the art stadium in my backyard and less to do about who wins. A lot good players on both teams to watch. Hell, I finally get to see Justin Herbert. He's one of my favorite QBs.

Like I mentioned before, it's strange rooting for your team when you know the HC will be fired. That's not that complicated to understand is it?

I think this is the game we lose by 10+ and frustrations really start to show.

If I were to guess on the outcome of the game I'd say Chargers 31 Vikings 17. I'm going to experience a live sporting event at a new stadium and I'm stoked! Back in the day I used to bet on horses at Hollywood Park with my dad....SoFi Stadium is built on that property.

Frankly I don't really care who wins at this point because not only did we get off to a 3-5 start, Zimmer is not going to be our coach in the near future. I want to see the Vikings win but this ship has sailed. The rebuild of this team will be interesting to say the least. As I have mentioned in another post, I really want to see our young players that will likely be on the team next year. We have quite a few good ones in IMO. Jefferson is on top of my list. I'm liking O'Neil, Cleveland and Darrisaw. Keke and Osborn are sneaky good. On defense Bynum, Wonnum, J.Lynch, Watts, Dantzler, Jones, Willekes.

I used to bet on horses at Hollywood Park also, though never in person. Vic Stauffer calls at Oaklawn now, still like his work.

My reality is this team isnt winning a super bowl. I dont care about making the playoffs or coming one game short of it, I want a ring. The best and fastest way to get closer to that is getting a new staff, GM, and QB in there. I dont want to risk another Saints playoff game BS extensions.

It's a genuine risk with this ownership. Their decisionmaking process over the years has shown itself to be the equivalent of tossing darts blindfolded and calling it smart football business.

Always want the squad to play great on game day/nite, but I always project stuff. I could never abide me or a teammate not being rabid about producing. Losing sux but you channel that into better performance, any ankle grabbing and I would be done with my beloved Vikings and never look back.
Should ZimRick be around for ten more years I would at least check the scores of games. Wouldnt punish myself watching the same ole same ole but would still hope for wins.
Believe we will win in a shocking manner against Chargers just because you can never tell with this squad, we might run all over them and somehow we dont get gashed downfield. Arent the odds for us as far as putting a complete game together? Gotta be...
