Why the heck should our games be on primetime? A lot of our games last year were so painful to watch. And remember, we did almost lose to the lions...

Why would that generate money? The packers are a small market and the raiders are horrible. I assume they pick the prime time games based on what will make the most moeny, I just don't think this would make that much.

I hope we open against either Baltimore or Seattle

Tell me about it.
We got a cat on here who wants at least 3 or 4 of them on the Vikes every year.

;D

Seriously though...No Monday night games, no Thurs games, no Saturday games.......

Nothing but 1:00PM on Sundays.
Best way to win.
No short weeks, stay in a nice rhythm etc etc.

yeah i personally would rather play at either 1 or 4 each and every sunday.... no thurs/sat/or mon games...

we might get a flex game or two towards the end of the season if we play really well though...

Looks like the Twins have the Metrodome the first 2 Sundays of the season so we're for sure starting on the road. And either on the road or a Monday night game the following week.
