Just had my first kid, let’s start her life off with a Super Bowl! SKOL VIKES!

[@Rqivs999]

Congrats man!

[@brayhallman]

@@Rqivs999 appreciate it 🤙🏼

[@tacticalmanagerbabymommaak5825]

Congratulations. But knowing our history you should make her root for someone else lol

[@kenyerg1745]

Congrats hope you have many more good luck and God bless you and your family

[@beaujackson7699]

Amen 🎉

[@robe2504]

Packers early outside is great, finish inside is great. Early bye might give TJ an extra week to recover and an early review opportunity for the new QBs. Only a few primetime games so a very regular weekly schedule. The young team should be gelling by the time they hit their inside home run over the last third of the season.

[@issazeele1707]

The 2024 schedule looks tough, I trust B-Flo

[@jmichaelbest1941]

Top 3 Defense, Champion caliber Qb put your money on the Vikings

[@shawnmoney612]

Yes indeed excited for the season JJ to JJ all day.

[@tylerrhodes8792]

jj wont even see the field you can take that to the bank i promise you

[@seamb923]

That means sam is balling​@@tylerrhodes8792

[@debsmith7861]

You're so correct. Delusional fans over starved for a winner. It's many years away. Talent is not there. Interior DL and OL a mess. Even after righting the ship which hasnt happened yet, it takes years to build chemistry and gel. And all of that assumes McCarthy is outstanding.​@@tylerrhodes8792

[@jmichaelbest1941]

@@tylerrhodes8792 I agree it is wise to sit a player especially a QB and we can absolutely do that. Sam Darnold has got some serious skills he has just been on teams that suck.

[@DanKroska]

Ron Johnson thinks we are going to get swept by the bears. I disagree with that 100%.

[@Premiere_Emcee]

I said the same thing.. if he said swept by the lions or Packers maybe.. but the bears?.. yea nah

[@statzlucazzi6325]

He picked the packer in both games then said we split this AND he said we lose every division game. Fire this clown.

[@bryanjones4444]

Defense will be the key. If they play lights out we may get to 500.

[@keithwoodson567]

This is a tuff schedule. Idk where they see it being favorable to use.🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@michaelwatt4699]

8-9 next year is when we make the jump into our rebuild. Plenty of cap and JJ's rookie year out the way.

[@nathanbritt5515]

The Vikings have literally NEVER lost to the Texans and they're on a 7 game win streak against the 49ers when they play them at home. We also always seem to beat the Packers the first time we play them, regardless of whose stadium it is. I'm not saying I think we'll win all 3 of these games, but if we're rolling with the "undefeated across the pond" logic, you might as well predict more wins for us in that early stretch

[@martinolson761]

Ron Johnson is in love with Caleb Williams....No way we lost to the Bears twice!

[@clintonreisig]

Atlanta with Cousins @ Vikings US Bank Stadium 😃

[@dalelange845]

😮 Vikings will win game 2. Write that down!

[@fernandoortiz-robles8771]

Let's get it!!!!

[@TheRafcave]

Bears sweep us? What a joke take. 👎🏾

[@caseyo2880]

This schedule screams another 7-10 season

[@robe2504]

They were 7-10 with Dobbs/Mullens/Hall and DJ Wonnum and Dean Lowry starting, and Troy Dye starting multiple games, and they blew at least 2 wins (Broncos/Bengals) with those guys. So many players forced into starting last season who are already off the team or won't make the team.

[@seamb923]

10 to 11 wins

[@robe2504]

@@seamb923 At least. If Kirk was QB we would be expecting to win the division. Folks are just less familiar with Darnold, but he has even more physical talent than Kirk and could easily prosper under KOC. He can throw like Kirk and run like Dobbs - in fact he profiles very similar to McCarthy. What more would a Vikes fan want?

[@seamb923]

@@robe2504 I'm riding yo wave brother

[@KILO_EX]

⁠@@robe2504 we’re going 10-7 our defense is better then last season, and our defense was good last year. Kirk could have lead us to the playoffs and probably would have if he didn’t get injured.

Thank you NFL for not having us play the goddamn Eagles for a 3rd straight year(over there especially) I was about to lose my damn mind and think that the NFL really hates us if they put us against the Eagles specially week two and especially over there

[@chessmaster1115]

Yep get to play at Eagle stadium in game 3 in preseason instead!

[@Godless-Being]

@@chessmaster1115 oh yeah, I forgot to look at the preseason and I can confirm. At least it will be a 12 noon game and not primetime.

[@Johnhargrove18]

It’s not the nfl who schedules who you play, it’s ranked on how the Vikings finished in the division. This is pretty simple knowledge

[@Godless-Being]

@@Johnhargrove18 I guess it’s “pretty simple knowledge” to play the Eagles primetime week two at their stadium for the past two years😂 But since you mentioned based on how we played, I would rather play anybody else other than the Eagles week 2 and during primetime(I don’t care if it’s the Steelers) anybody, but the Eagles and the chiefs

[@cartier2312]

You know what would be legendary, The Minnesota Vikings vs The Buffalo Bills at the SuperBowl ⏳

We’re definitely getting a top 4 pick this year.

Tell Ron to go work for the Bears then since he's so high on them sweepin us c'mon man.

[@haydowayne]

Kirk wont be qb1 by the time we play the falcons lol

[@Johnhargrove18]

Even if he plays Kirk also collapses at the end of the year. Never forget him being unplayable in that final stretch in 2018

[@christopherbryan2271]

17-0 🔥🔥🔥

[@themarkhaskell]

Patriot fans are saying that about the pats too.

[@scoob_18]

No offense, but how does the NFL make so much money and have so many resources and release a schedule with a TBD on it??

[@JamesWhite-qk1xd]

they do it so they can put the games that still matter on prime time

[@jakelz9885]

Biggest reason is they belive and set it up where they are hoping games and playoff seeding etc comes down to the final division games. So they say tbd so let’s say if the Vikings beat the lions and Seattle needs us to lose to make the playoffs they want us playing at the same time so Seattle doesn’t see us winning and go well we’re out why try? If that makes any sense?

[@toddaulner5393]

First part of the season is going to be tough!

[@YoungPurple89]

Just now watching and I agree with Ron. 10-7

[@HoodyWhether]

love hearing a bears fan take on the Vikings....

[@bandofbauers6779]

Honestly, I think this could, go anyway I think they could win as few as 6 and as most as 11. One, thing we can all agree on is that there usually Mid-Pack, some can probably predict at least 7 to 8 Wins. It, also may depend on factors like injuries and if JJ Mccarthy truly is that guy. So, my prediction will be.@ NYG: Win, SF: Lose, HOU: Lose, @GB: Lose, NYJ: Win, bye, DET: Lose, @LAR: Win, IND: Win, @JAX: Win, @TN: Lose, @CHI: Lose, ARI: Win, ATL: Win, CHI: WIN, @ SEA: Lose, GB: Win, @Det: Lose So, I have them at 9-8 if you disagree it's fine just let me know in the comments. This may put them in the Wild Card, it may not. Just, tell me what you think below.

[@savageboy8418]

I don't see us lose to the bears twice

[@backroadswingrider854]

2 losses to Chicago lol. I predict 2 wins. Caleb has an attitude that is going to hurt the bears, not to mention, Chicago could not develop Fields

[@archimedes_espinosa]

It’ll be a split

[@nikkicovington6389]

will be there Week 1,2,3,4,5,13 and 14 because the Vikings will be destroying Kirk Cousins at U.S Bank Stadium.

[@essaym7509]

Hold on… are we seriously already saying Caleb Williams is going to sweep us before he takes an NFL snap?

[@Bluboy30]

Did Ron just predict the Bears will sweep us? 😂 I highly doubt that! Also, the Lions lost a devastating NFC Title Game, I think they're going to struggle this year. They ain't gonn represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. I think Ron's drunk tonight. 😅

First

[@debsmith7861]

6 and 11. 2025, 7 and 10. This team is miles away and everyone knows it. Excellent draft but still, let's be realistic. Rebuild. Not competitive rebuild and the other north teams are wayyy ahead of the curve vs. the queens. Even the Bears.

[@jakelz9885]

The defense played way above expectation last year with really no names or talent but I really feel the front 7 of our defense is set it’s a top 10 for sure..especially with Flores. The back end is a different story at safety we are fine with Mettellus and Bynum but corners are awful especially when Murphy got hurt that really was felt. The kj kid we drafted is going to be a steal every hilight of him is 1 on 1 and he picked off the Washington recievers who were drafted so he can ball. The problem is the qb of jj can step in right away or even if Sam darnold can just not put us in dumb situations I think we will be very competitive and pull some upsets. And next year will hit the ground running. Also next year is ravens curse year..every year we play the ravens if we win we go to the nfc championship if we lose coach gets fired! Don’t believe me look it up..98 nfc championship 2001 coach fired 2005 coach fired 2009 we won nfc championship 2013 coach fired 2017 nfc championship 2021 coach fired 2025 time will tell..

Vikings fans are addicted to ridiculous wishful thinking. Wont even sniff a playoff this yr. Not going to the playoffs doesnt mean the yr has to be a bust though. Start McCarthy, let him take his lumps and see what he has. Without a running game, he'll get his chance to show kirk haters how well a rookie does when hes forced to throw every down
