Here’s our official 2019 schedule:

#Vikings 2019 Schedule:

1. ATL
2. at GB
3. OAK
4. at CHI
5. at NYG
6. PHI
7. at DET
8. WAS (TNF)
9. at KC
10. at DAL (SNF)

Some tough road games in there. Drew quite a few prime time games. 5 of our last 9 games are prime time. Our early schedule is set up pretty nice though. We could start off very well. And out of the final 4 games, 3 are home and against divisional opponents. I like that!

I think this is a pretty favorable schedule, no outdoor games in December is big. Hopefully they have a chance to contend for the NFC north title end of year where they get to play at home. Lambeau and Soldier Field in December is such a huge advantage.

Agreed. It sucks that out of the 5 prime time games, 1 is at home. It’s almost like they are trying to set us up for failure given cousins track record in prime time. Let’s just prove them wrong!

Looks almost as bad/hard as last year to me. But I saw we dont have the cold games we usually do.

Too many prime time/big games. Zimmer, quite frankly, sucks at them.

I used to love the prime time games. Have learned to hate them the past few years for obvious reasons.
I'm excited about 1 this season. The week 8 Thursday night game hosting the Redskins. The game is on my birthday. I will taking that Friday off work. Hope to pull a double victory that day.
I will be in a treestand that morning and hope to procure some grain fed Ohio venison with a sharp stick and string and then a Viking Victory that night.
My bosses brother retired as the Skins starting center 2 seasons ago and is still good friends with Cousins. Last night when the games were announced he texted and said we could all watch the game at his brothers house, well it's a HOUSE, lol, but I don't know about sitting there with 2 Skins fans, 1 a retired Skin, if we r taking a beating. Gonna have to think about that one.
I just wanna die as a Super Bowl Champion Viking Fan!!

Things I like:
- 3 of last 4 games at home
- 3 of last 4 games are division games
- Late season Bye Week
- Open the season at home
- @Seattle after the bye, time to get rested and adjust to the timezone for primetime

Things I dislike:
- 5 primetime games, this team is not good in primetime games
- @LAC on SNF, timezones out west are real killers

The NFL should not have teams play the NFC West and AFC West in the same season, and games played on the West Coast should not be primetime games. This will be a tough schedule, but not any more tough than it was prior to the schedule release. This season could be an 11 or 12 win season, but it could just as easily be a 6 or 7 win season. I believe it will all come down to the o-line. I'll put out a way too early win-loss prediction after the draft.

I think two. Of them are at home.. Unless I am looking at it wrong?

No you’re right. I kept reading people tweeting that so I automatically thought it. But now that I actually look at it, it’s 2 prime time at home and 3 away. I don’t know what I was looking at lol

This will be the first time since the new stadium opened that a game will be in Minneapolis when I am in town visiting family around the holiday time. It's a Monday night Packers game, which would be fun in theory but from my understanding very difficult to get single game tickets for? Does anyone have any insight on whether they changed the process of requiring people to buy multiple tickets or including preseason games with a Packers game purchase? I just looked at Ticketmaster's website and even nose bleeds are $100 more expensive than the Bears game season closer one week later. Had no idea that they jacked up prices for Packers tickets that much :cry:

Packers tickets are usually the most expensive due to the rivalry and also because their fans travel and are willing to pay.

I see 7 games I really doubt we can win. I don't see any reason for playoff hopes until this oline gets some big time improvement. I think we are weak at RB too

That’s why there’s the draft....
