Vikes thread!

That little slap on the hand won't even be felt.  Which goes to show that it was completely worth it for them.  They got their man.

[Leech~~]

The decision to roll out the “White Warrior” collection comes partially in response to how much the fan base has gravitated toward the “Winter Whiteout” theme over the past couple of seasons. In those games, the Vikings wore their white jerseys and white pants, finishing the look with their purple helmets.
In a release, Vikings director of brand and design Alicia Dreyer noted how the fan base was clamoring for a white helmet to tie everything together.

“It’s a two-year process to create new uniforms and helmets,” Dreyer said in a release. “We appreciate the fans’ patience and hope they are as proud and excited of the result as we are.” 

Sounds like Alicia Dreyer be a white supremacist!

I have never heard anyone want white helmets.  I am completely against it.

[roony]

Slap on the wrist. The laugh might very well be on them though if Cousins sucks this season.

I think they look pretty cool myself. Guess now you have heard of at least one.

So the Fal-cones are stripped of a 5th round pick.  Yes, a slap on the wrist.  But I though everyone was hoping the Vikes would get MAJOR compensation for that violation.

Do the Vikes get that 5th round pick?  Something higher?  Nothing?

[Jrasmussen]

From what I heard we do not get anything in the deal. Pretty messed up considering how bad they hit the Dolphins when they talked to Brady.

Probably like Carbon credits.  Sum body got to pay, but it means and does nothing.

X 2!!

If the horns were purple I would like them better.

They're still signing guys. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/minnesota_vikings_sign_ufl_star_jalen_redmond/s1_17359_40497541

Sam Darnold into J.J. McCarthy with JJ, TJ (eventually, out with knee to start the season), Addison, and wondering how much Aaron Jones has left in the tank.

It will be an interesting season, with all eyes looking forward to 2025 when they have 'legit' cap space to sign free agents in positions of need.

[LPS]

I made a bet that they would win over 6.5 games.  ????   

[Jrasmussen]

I think they will end up around .500 for this season. We made a lot of moves this offseason and it might take a bit but think they can be decent if Darnold is serviceable. 

[dutchboy]

Darnold will be fine. He is surrounded by good offensive players and by a coach who presumably knows offense. The defense will be improved but we will see just how good Flores is. If he's as good as everybody here thinks he is....that has yet to be determined.

Chicago is still Chicago.
GB needs to have the Love fest continue.
Will success and money derail Detroit?

Nobody from the division is winning the Super Bowl or even playing in it I don't think.

Chicago is still Chicago.  And the Vikes are still the Vikes.  The Vikes split with Chicago.
GB needs to have the Love fest continue.  The Love fest will continue.  The Pac wins in Week 4 AND Week 17, by which time the Vikes will have nothing to play for, injuries mounting, and JJ will be experiencing rookie year growing pains.
Will success and money derail Detroit?  No.  Not this year at least.  Vikes beat Detroit in Week 7 at home coming out of the bye, loose Week 18 for the same reason they loose Week 17, and Detroit wins the division.

Nobody from the division is winning the Super Bowl or even playing in it I don't think.  No, but I wouldn't be surprised if Detroit won two playoff games.

I made a bet that they would win over 6.5 games.  ????   I'll take the under and hope they get better draft pics for 2025. 

[LPS]

LOL  My brother placed the bet at Larchwood casino. I am too much of an optimist to go under.
