It's Going To Happen

We all know it's going to happen. Yes, the Minnesota Vikings looked pretty sharp in their week one win over San Francisco, but come on. Let's just be realistic. They aren't winning it all. While the Vikings have a great team, I'm here to knock them down a peg. Here are the 5 ways the Vikings could crush our hopes and dreams this season.


OFFENSIVE LINE WOES


The Vikings have playmakers on both sides of the ball, but there's no question what the weakest link is on this team. The Offensive Line was ok last year, but the front office didn't do much to improve the position in the offseason. Now, there's already some injuries, and the depth is starting to thin more than my hairline. The unit didn't look great week one against a below average d-line, so what are they going to look like against a great line like Philadelphia? I'm worried about Cousin's well-being back there as well.


AARON RODGERS


I'm guessing Aaron Rodgers has robot legs now after his week one injury scare. Which means he's half cyborg, and the Vikings will have a tough time competing with that.




WIDE LEFT/RIGHT


Hey, remember the Vikings' heartbreak from kickers over the years? I do. Here's one of them!

Well, now they have a rookie kicking field goals. Daniel Carlson made them all week one, but that just means he's due to miss. And he most likely will when he shouldn't.




DEFENSE LAYS AN EGG


This defense is stupid good. Harrison Smith is one of the best in the league, and the d-line can get after the quarterback. However, it just takes one bad game to ripped out our hearts. Last year, the defense got torched but Nick Foles in the NFC championship game. It could happen again.


There's also the new "Rodgers Rule" about landing on top of a player as you bring down a "defenseless" quarterback. Since it was a Vikings' player who was behind the play that created the rule, I feel like that rule will create a costly penalty for the Vikings in a postseason game. It seems like it would fit the narrative.




CASE KEENUM


This would just be funny. Case Keenum, who had a very Case Keenum game week one (329 yards 3 TDs and 3 INTs) will probably find away to lead the Broncos to the Super Bowl. There, they matchup against the Purple, and Keenum uses his horseshoe to pull out some miraculous victory.




It's a fun start to the season, but I've grown numb to this. It's going to end badly, because it always does. However, if they DO win, I will quickly delete this post and will pretend like I never wrote it.
