2015 Schedule

[frosted]

We're at week 16 of this year. This weak schedule, with a healthy team, and this coaching staff, could have meant the playoffs. You do get that much right? Next offseason, I don't think we should tank, nor do I want us to go 0-16. But when we're eliminated from the playoffs and winning means two things, a worse pick, and a tougher schedule, yeah, I think we're better off losing...

Thank god we did so poorly last year, it meant that worthless coaching staff got canned. You really wanted 7 or 8 wins, no playoffs, worse pick, and Frazier/Musgrave going forward? Possibly no Barr or Teddy?

Next year, a slightly weaker schedule MAY mean the difference between making the playoffs and not.

Draft picks? You think maybe another team might have had a better chance of trading up if our picks had been just a pick or two later? Who knows, but it's possible. Do we get Barr with that later pick if we win a game or two more? Who knows. He was there when we picked, and every earlier pick, he wasn't there after we picked....
Good idea! I don't know how it'll work out. But even Gerbschmidt (or however you spell it) thought the Vikes would win more games this year because of the slightly easier schedule because of our last placed finish coming into this season. And he's a Packer rube bit character!!!

Relax, it was a joke, bro. Hence the haha haha..you do get that much, right?

Well I did it. And the results are a bit surprising. The column on the left is the position were the Vikings were in the division. The columns on the right are were the two teams the Vikings played due to division placement and were the ended up in their division the following year. Of the 24 games, the teams the following years ended up doing better 8 times, the same 8 time, or worse, 8 times. Now. Out of the 24 games the Vikings only lost 8 of them. Those 8 losses are indicated by all Capital letters.
