You telling me there is a chance? With Kirk Cousins now they a legit contender at least to win division. I tought they will end like Indy Colts from last year, but don't bet against Vikings now!
Vikings have a chance now...

Most definitely, most positively, most seemingly, most undoubtedly, Most undeniably,, most remarkably....etc...etc. an outstanding improvement/addition over Carson Wentz.....that much is certain, especially him knowing the Vikings system and overall scheme of things within the organization and with some nice QB record/stats to go with his resume.

The nfc north is a collective 25-9
Against teams outside their division 17-4
The quarterbacks that reside in the nfc north, in no particular order.
Jordan Love, Jared Goff, Caleb Williams, Kirk Cousins.
The Vikings defense is elite for sure. You can't tell me that they didn't get tired vs the Bills. If Kirk Cousins can convert a few more 1st downs on average, they'll get a breather.

As a Bears fan, this sucks. They already beat us with Wentz. Just think, that the Vikings are 2-1 in Wentz starts after what you saw last night...
The Bears are fun to watch. They are so fuckin good at nearly everything when firing on all cylinders. To beat the Seahawks and Patriots(2025 SB teams) and now Tampa(#5 dvoa team at the time) all in a row is impressive.
A more important question might be, what do Packers fans feel? Cause I hate to say this, but the Packers obliterated the Bears, albeit without Caleb. But they are playing phenomenal football on all levels right now. Even their kicker has seemed to get right.
If you were to ask every football team who you wouldn't want to play right now, the answer might be the Packers. Keep in mind, Micah Parsons will be back soon.
Jordan Love is getting the ball out fast, simultaneously erasing any o line doubts. And he's not necessarily throwing short either.
Huge game in Minny this week. This will be a brawl.
The Lions are quietly 2-0 vs division this year. They haven't played the Bears yet, but they went 2-0 vs the Bears last year. Dan Campbell may know Ben Johnson better than most would think.
Anyone capping Lions games, don't forget to look at what their defense has done recently(post bye week). Branch is back. And they're blitzing less.
It's nuts how good a single division can be in a single season. Conversely, how bad another can be. We're looking at you nfc south

No doubt Sac the defense for the Vikings got spent last night as I think from I understand the offense had the ball for a total of twenty minutes in the entire game so they hardly were rested and rightfully so as Everytime wentz had the ball it didn't last or end very well/long that's for sure.
Buffalo won that game but I say with a good amount of certainty and that is had the Vikings had kirk in that game it most likely would of been a much more desirable outcome for both the defense and the team with likely a win because when Allen was out there most of the time and for the most part.....the vikings defensive heat was on.
Josh Allen is a Better quarterback then cousins no doubt but the difference would of been the Vikings defense whom realistically is second to none and that would of pushed the vikings with cousins under the helm to a solidified and a well deserved hard fought victory i truly believe.

The NFC North is super strong this year. I was shocked and awed last week when the Packers obliterated the Patriots in their house.
Cousins will have a rough few games to start but the Vikings now have a shot to make the playoffs. I doubt they win the division but who knows?
Two marquee matchups this week with Packers/Vikings and Steelers/Bengals. These games should have playoff atmospheres.

I am fascinated by the Bears' transformation these last 2 years. Tough to turn around a franchise that only has had glory in their distant past.
Also perplexed by the lack of great quarterbacks in Bears' history. Sid Luckman is in the HOF but in my lifetime aside from McMahon's '85 season the lifeless gray ghosts that played QB for them are too numerous and mediocre to mention.
Caleb is a breath of fresh air and he seems to have elite talent. Blows me away at how strong the NFC North is this year.

Here's the qb carousel for the Vikings.
Had Kirk Cousins, didn't want to pay him.
Got Sam Darnold for cheap. When he got good, they didn't want to pay him.
Drafted JJ Mccarthy. He mostly sucked when he wasn't hurt. Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer filled in. They traded JJ Mcarthy.
Signed Kyler Murray for cheap. He started the season hurt, had to start Carson Wentz. Kyler Murray played a few games, and got hurt again. Carson Wentz had to start again.
The Vikings traded for Kirk Cousins for a 3rd rd pick. That's cheap, so is his contract.
Letting Cousins go because they didn't want to pay him started this mess. And now they have him again for relatively cheap.
Genius? Or dumb luck
