Go The Minnesota Quantum Superpositional Vikings! The only thing you can know for sure, is that Chaos comes from the North, and the Vikings are its emissary.

Also, incidentally, go the NFC North in general, the only division in football to have all four franchises ranked in the top half by the NFLPA regarding their treatment of their players, as well as the holder of #1 overall and two top-10 ratings.

Henchman of Santa posted:City is just tradition really. Minnesota teams are an outlier because of the Twin Cities. Yeah, back when most major sports leagues were founded, they were dealing with way more than one team per state -- depending on when you asked, New York would have had an entire division worth of specific neighborhoods. Interestingly, teams nowadays go in both directions for their renamings -- starting as states and going to cities (Florida Marlins -> Miami Marlins), the inverse (Phoenix Coyotes -> Arizona Coyotes / Phoenix Cardinals -> Arizona Cardinals), and of course, changing their name incessantly in poorly-considered attempts to leech off a larger market that's already got a flagship (Your California Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim).

Kindly requesting the Vikings do things that aren't losing people to other teams. I mean, I'm sure they're going to, but like, we could use a little something to kick it off.

https://www.thedrawplay.com/comic/offseason-chaos-predictions/ Shoutout to Febreze for correctly identifying the entire NFC North as the only division to be fully committed to Chaos. All four teams will engage in maximum chaos in the upcoming season by this prediction, and I for one could not be happier or prouder.

Acebuckeye13 posted:-Jon ended the episode by saying the Vikings inevitable Superbowl win will be "the most necessary and cathartic Superbowl victory of all time." As a fan of the team that sits at the opposite end of that victory chart, that has one single playoff win in the entire Superbowl era, one of the oldest and cruddiest teams in the entire sport, that has been a joke for longer than my father has been alive... well jon let's just agree to disagree I think he's right, frankly, though I think you're also right. The Vikings and the Lions have two of the most excruciating catalogs of suffering in football, one painted black, the other painted white. The Lions are when you never seem to even get close; the Vikings are when you get close more often than anyone else and never actually make it. Somehow it's very fitting that they're both in the same division.

Honestly I think teams need to look at the Brad Holmes GMing tree just as much as the Campbell coaching tree. I've been very impressed with the honesty and thoroughness that the Lions have dedicated to building the team up through the lines and how extremely well it's paying off for them. They're not gambling everything on taking a QB to ruin, they're building a team from the bottom up and it produced a WRECKING BALL.

IcePhoenix posted:This is the story of his career though. He's not a good quarterback. Someone in another thread coined it the best way I can possibly imagine -- Baker Mayfield is the most vibes-based quarterback I think we've seen in a long time. If he's on a team where the attitude and atmosphere is energized and ready to go, even if that team is bad, then he plays well. If the energy is dead or rotten, he can't do poo poo. This becomes most of a problem when Mayfield has to play against teams with stronger vibes than his has, which the Lions are basically by default.

GenericMartini posted:I feel like this win is nice any other year but this one. Eh. Cheering for losses is so depressing. There's taking heart in a loss because it showed potential or promise or fight, and then there's cheering to lose because you want a lottery ticket. Count me out. What you've seen here is the Minnesota Vikings reasserting that they are the Minnesota Vikings, and they will NOT be topped as the absolute weirdest team in the NFL. Nothing about them can be explained. All we know is that they'll be pretty good, maybe never the best, but always -- ALWAYS -- memorable. 3-4 with the schedule the Vikings have for the rest of the year is still full of possibility. People will say that 0-3 starts almost never lead to success. And they may be right, but I say that the Minnesota Vikings have never seen an "almost never", good or bad, that they didn't want to be the exception to.

I hope the Vikings never tank because A. Tanking is universally miserable to watch and destroys an organization from a motivation standpoint, B. I'd rather gamble on making a fluke playoff run than the bigger gamble of a draft pick, and C. More importantly, the rest of the team is REALLY solid right now. In particular we have a really good O-line, which can seriously elevate even a mediocre quarterback, along with excellent passing weapons and a defense that appears to be doing its job.

That's basically what every other source I've been hearing has said, as well. By the sound of things, the locker room loves Cousins, which would certainly be worth bringing him back. Even if you think you've got your new prospect of the future, Cousins would be a heck of a veteran to learn behind.

GokuGoesSSj69 posted:gently caress that. This isn't the NBA. Go ahead and point at a team that has tanked on purpose then turned it around. It doesn't happen in the NFL. These guys are coaching and playing for their jobs every week. I want the two games against the Lions to matter at the end of the year and Lions fans probably do too. You could argue the Texans are on the way, but look at how long the Texans sucked rancid rear end in that process. It's been at least since 2016! If you want to spend eight years watching your team get curbstomped nonstop with no hope then you can go for that. I'd rather watch the Vikings continue to be the one thing they know -- weird as hell.

R.D. Mangles posted:without looking it up or seeing a single minute of Panthers football this season: no It genuinely could be. If the Bears can beat the Broncos they can absolutely beat the smoldering crater that is this year's Panthers. Like, the Bears are dysfunctional in a lot of ways, but the Panthers are REALLY goin' all out on beating them based on everything I've picked up. Bryce Young is getting the Premier Derek Carr Experience over there because Reich completely changed up the scheme when he arrived and none of the units are on the same page with each other or with the design that they were drafting and trading pieces for.

I'm not going to count the Raiders game as an example for anything due to McDaniels contaminating the data, but like, y'all DID beat the Commanders and I assure you the Commanders are a more competent team than the Panthers this year. I'd call it entirely plausible the Bears win that one.

SirPablo posted:So Vikings and Lions have a pretty similar schedule remaining, but swapping Bengals and Cowboys. Even though I root for a divisional rival, I'm not gonna lie. Lions, you are currently in the front-running for America's favorite team. This title has been held by bloated, decadent, complacent antiques for years now. If you want it, you're going to have to take it. And everything else aside, we want you to take it. You must beat the Cowboys. You must crush them. This is your destiny.

They have Chicago and then the bye so I would expect the offense would be a better mix with Dobbs skills then. He'll have more confidence and have JJ available too. The super-late bye for the Vikings is kind of brutal this year, we've had so many injuries. God only knows what this team is gonna look like after it.
