Off-Topic » The one where we talk about the Bears and Packers

Good Evening!Hey fellow DN’ers Linval Joseph Jersey , I hope you enjoyed the Vikings win today over the 49’ers.Personally I was glad for the win but I thought the Vikings should have put the game away much sooner than they did.I’m on call tonight and it’s time for the first Sunday night game of the season and we’ll have the fun of watching one of our NFC North opponents start the season 0-1.I think most of us will be cheering for the Bears, but hey if you want to cheer for the Packers go ahead.....I wouldn’t tell us in the thread though.Stop by let’s make fun of the mistakes our NFC opponents make on the field and maybe be entertained. Personally I don’t want the either team building early momentum (yes I know it’s early in the season) but both of these teams are improved as compared to last year if you believe the talking heads.With that, let’s be neutral....just kidding, Let’s Go Bears.Also, GIF’s are welcome in this game thread.A few rules though, these will look oddly familiar.-No discussion of politics or religion-No feeding of the trolls-This isn’t a male version of The View, so leave the gender hatred at the door-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags Brett Jones Jersey , if you must)-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags-No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer-If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away-While navigating the Bears-Packers thread, just assume it’s sarcasm Does this end badly? Probably!" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteDaily Norsemana Minnesota Vikings communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsLibraryVikingsOddsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Vikings 2018 SeasonVikings 2019 OffseasonU.S. Bank StadiumMinnesota Vikings PodcastsFiled under:SB Nation FanPulseMinnesota Vikings 2019 OffseasonDaily Norseman FanPulse: Confidence is slowly risingNew,79commentsDoes this end badly?

Here’s the graph that shows that upward trend.When the regular season ended, just 22% of Vikings fans were confident in the direction of the team. By the time we got through the free agency period Tom Compton Jersey , that number had nearly doubled, rising all the way to 42%.Fans were feeling even better as we got into the pre-draft process, as 60% of fans were confident in the direction the Vikings were going, and now that the draft is over, that figure is now up to 70%.Yes, hope springs eternal in the offseason for NFL fans. However, even that 70% figure puts Vikings fans in the bottom half of all of the fan bases across the SB Nation network Alexander Mattison Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , and tied for last in the NFC North in that category. Leading the way, as you’d expect, are the Chicago Bears, with 100% of their fans saying that they’re confident in the direction of their team. In second place, we actually have the Detroit Lions at 75%, while Green Bay Packers fans are at 70% just like the Vikings are.I think there are a lot of things to be optimistic about with this team, but then again I think I almost always feel that way. Thankfully Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , we’ve only got a little more than two months. . .two long, terrible, awful months. . .before our team gets back on the field.
