    I have been accused of being somewhat biased against the Minnesota vikings in the past. I aim to change that perception by starting a topic to discuss current events with the vikings 2017 schedule and the quest to be the first home team super bowl team.

    First, Blair Walsh taunting the vikings in a preseason game and nobody hit him on his next field goal attempt or on a kick off? Come on Zim they compromised his awesome preseason record by taking a loss on the road.

    Vikings just added Mitch Leidner to the roster the esteemed University of Minnesota QB.

    The viking franchise is a factory of sadness and disappointment. I honestly feel bad for the fans I have relatives young kids who get their heart broken every year.

    Yeah that sucks. I remember being a patriots fan as a kid when they were the laughing stock of the NFL. It was tough. 2-14. No kids in school were patriots fans. Except for me of course! They all liked the giants or cowboys or 49'ers.

    Thing is that the franchise rarely sucks at the 2-14 level, they often flirt with being a serviceable team but ultimately fail each season.

    I do want to see the Vikes win because my son loves them but at least he likes the Patriots too because I like them so at least he has that.

    Oh boy the viking defense made Brian Hoyer look like a serviceable QB tonight. Time to panic.

    The result in the 3rd preseason game never matters, what happens in the first half matters. Don't take what I said as being anti viking check out the comments at the Pioneer press and Star Tribune, the vikings own fans are already savaging them.

    And I don't disagree; it was terrible. I hate preseason football anyhow. I think there should be two games max for preseason.
