The reality check every season for some time here is one and done in the playoffs. Seriously, with backup Mullens leading this team, how can anymore than that be possible with the all the teams better in the NFC? Even Kirk Cousins thru to the end would have been 50/50 to win a playoff game home or away given the team's limits. Those would be game management for playcalling and time plus roster inadequencies involving OL,DL, Kicker, etc...
With all that, the season for me has to be looked at its Regular Schedule to declare no bust (Super Bowl Not happening again - fan since '1970!). I am not ready to accept just the Week 7 Monday night home win vs. SF, but that helps as hyped up the 49ers always are. The next step(s) for this reality check season are right in front of them.
I want the Vikes to sweep the Det. Lions. It may not pan out into a Divisional Championship, but it should cut the BS Hype up surrounding the Kitties many of us are tired of hearing this season. The Puckers already half folded - so maybe they're no issue again in the NFC North. Just beat down the Lions 2X, letting the playoff chips fall as they usually do, and I can look positive into '24 if the team finally drafts a high quality QB.
That chain of game events also may be all that is needed to turn the NFC North back into the every year a Vikings rule thing I grew up on in '70's era of Purple People Eaters....SKOL the rest of '23!!! (Even if the Vikes lose their only playoff game again!)

I can bet the farm if Vikings beat the Lions twice they would lose when they meet in playoffs. It's the Viking way!

Just finish 7-10 and get a QB. Yes I know itβs a 50/50 shot that the pick is a bust but itβs a 100% certainty that this team is going nowhere in the playoffs. Time to play the long game.

None of the options beyond Maye or Williams excite me, and neither of those guys are making it past the 2nd overall pick. At this point, I fully expect the Vikings will resign Cousins and using the First round draft pick on a LB or Interior Line

Viking's won't make the playoffs. Sadly, I believe you are correct. Things just don't feel like we can beat Lions twice and to add salt to the wound, a loss to the cheese heads will be the nail in the playoff hopes. Not that there is going to be a playoff run, the team is just not that good. As stated 1000's of times before it's a pass happy NFL these days and we need a qb. Keep picking till ya find the one.

The fact the staff is too dumb to see what Hall is capable of at this point tells me all I need to know about this season.

We just lost to the Bengals, Bears and Broncos.
Be realistic. Itβs not happening this season.
The 2024 draft can turn the whole direction of the franchise with one QB pick.
We can all look forward to this possibility.

Thread is a menopause infomercial. Maybe some of us think itβs been unfulfilling as a fan to not have your team in a Super Bowl in 47 years, never mind not winning one. Iβd rather have critical comments than be pollyannish and worship the organization as a cult member.

Itβs obvious that the Vikings canβt beat the βBβ teams as theyβve lost to the Buccaneers, Bears, Broncos and Bengals, so just need to hope that the Bills or Browns donβt make it to the Super Bowl.
