It's never too early to start talking about rivalry games.
The Vikings shouldn't be 0-2 right now. True that they had to play two divisional opponents to start off the season, but the Lions and Bears are winnable games for the 2012 Vikings. Maybe this is a signal about the 2013 Vikings? I don't know. What should scare Viking fans is the upcoming schedule. After the gimme (maybe not) versus the Browns, they play a slumping Steelers team in London, then their BYE, the Panthers....and then it gets ugly.
The Vikings play:
@ New York
vs Green Bay
@ Dallas
vs Washington
@ Seattle
@ Green Bay
vs Chicago
@ Baltimore
vs Philadelphia
@ Cincinnati
That is a TOUGH schedule. AP isn't torching defenses like last year and Ponder is Ponder. Jennings and the other receivers aren't doing much and the defense, while still good, seems a step slower. I see Packer domination in both games but am now starting to think that the Vikings will be watching the division unfold from the bottom of the heap.
Thoughts? Piling on?
