I am annoyed by the schedule makers. I am sure there are legitimate reasons for doing (I hope so) but giving a Dome team FOUR home games in the cold weather.

What a joke. If this isn't all to get Favre to come back, I don't know what is.

The cost of marketing... of course they want the cash cow that is Favre back.

Chilly... you can get off your knees now in New York. 😉

Now I almost hope Favre doesn't come back. Blatant manipulation like this should go unrequited. 😛

Don't they also have three home games in a row again late in the season?

Still who cares. You win or you lose. IF GB takes care of their business against the Vikings this year, they stand a good chance of winning the division. If they don't, they don't stand a good chance of winning the division.

Why have a dome as a home stadium if it won't be put into use during the cold months, then?

You guys make that dump a waaay bigger deal than any Viking fanatic I know.. And I know a ton of them.

Don't like it? Ask the powers to be to put a roof over Lamblow. News flash.. Football is played on the field, no matter what is hanging over head. As a guy that played/practiced the sport in a deep freeze like conditions, I'll tell you this much.. When I was on the field, the cold was such a small variable. Rain/sleet/ice make much more of a difference than the temperature. Once you are running around on the field, your body heats up.

This comment isn't specific to the Vikings, but rather to all dome teams.

Why play a man's game hiding from natures elements? When you look back at some of the all time great games, they are outside, in a open top stadium.

Dome's are garbage and no one can ever convince me of their worth for football. Football should be played outside, in the rain, the snow, the mud, the whatever. This pussy'n around in a dome in is pathetic.


If the Vikings played outside, they'd be a good cold weather team just like the Bears and Packers.

i'm with kev on this one!

oh & i don't give a shite what kinda schedule the queens have. 🙂

hey, man...i'm all for Favre coming back. i'll be entertained completely if i get to watch him get his ass handed to him over and over again like in that Saints game even once more before the old man falls apart!

After looking a little deeper into the Vikes schedule.. a couple of notes that might give the Vikes pause.

One.. and early bye. This will do them no favors late in the season..

Two.. Weeks 5 through 9 look brutal.

Monday nighter at Jets... Cowboys at home, then to Green Bay, to New England and back to face the Cards. Well the Cards may or may not be a worthy opponent.. personally I think the Cards will be a shadow of their former selves. Still.. tough stretch of the season.

Three.. Christmas week will suck.. Monday nighter at home, then turn around to the Eagles a day after Christmas..

So.. all in all.. they might have gotten a favor to Favre in the outdoor aspect.. but they have their share of junk in the schedule as well.
