There is zero doubt midway through the 17-game season that the Vikings can FINALLY win it all. At 7-1 they will easily be a top 3 power ranking team this week.
as all of us have, I’ve had my doubts. They didn’t do a ton on the off-season except some Key defensive additions on defense. And now Hockenson a critical add as they take on a tough stretch in their schedule.
The difference this year?
You have to first start with the coach. This guy is young, unafraid, innovative, has zero who, works hard, maintains personal wellness, manages the game and is above all, a positive influence on younger players. He’s basically the anti-Zimmer. The Vikings needed this fresh face and outlook.
Second and maybe equally important, their offensive line is playing very well. Cousins has time and with that time, he is making great reads and is playing loose. That’s huge for him - when he tightened up last year, we all saw how that went.
And they trust their go-to guys. This is Dalvin’s and Justin’s team. They are the most talented players on the team by a long shot. This might be Thielen’s last year. But JJ and DC will not be denied. Keep feeding them the ball and good things will happen. Hockenson is a god send for them - he keeps the middle honest.
Can they go all the way? Yes. But they have to stay healthy. It’s not a deep team. And they have to remain fresh. If they both those things, they can beat Philly which means they can beat anyone. See you in Arizona.
