Thoughts? This was in our game thread. I don’t think that’s the case. But man, we have to tighten up in some areas.

    I’m assuming whoever called us that is referring to the Vikings’ 1-Score Wins. 11 of the 13 Vikings’ Wins were 1-Score games. So far, out of our 8 Wins, only 3 are 1-Score games. Also, they finished the Season with -3 Point Differential. We’re at +43 as of now. Of course, we’re only halfway done with the Season, so the numbers can and will change. So I don’t believe we’re like last year’s Vikings, but yeah we do have a lot to clean up.

    There are literally no comparison points. Vikings were a team that did well last year. We are a team doing well this year. And that’s about it.

    Vikings ended up being a fraud team last year. If people want to say that about us, then that’s fine. I’d be ecstatic for 13 wins and a division title. But like I said, there are not any real similarities. Feel free to prove me wrong if I’m wrong here.

    People who say the ‘23 Lions are the same as the ‘22 Vikings are just turds, man.

      I agree. This is the NFL. Look at some games this year from any team. There’s no such thing as a “free win.” We battled and got this one and we gotta keep going. Division games are never easy.

    Not trying to justify it or even agree with it because I think we are a much more complete team, but we are 1-2 vs teams with a winning record at the moment and 7-0 against the rest.

      That’s kind of just what good teams do… Win 90% of the games you’re supposed to and ~50% of the tough ones. Aaron Rodgers is under .500 in his career against teams that finish at or above .500, I believe.

      It’s looking like we’ll get as many as 4 more games against teams that finish with a winning record (or as few as 1 lol). If we can finish 3-4 for the season against them I’ll be perfectly happy.

    Vikings had a negative point differential lol.

    And tbh, I don’t give a shit if we are.

    This team hasn’t wont a division in so long, I don’t care how we get it or how we get in the playoffs. We need the good vibes and the culture change.
