Seriously 2 years in a row? They can't come to minnesota? And Seattle gets HUGE home field advantage in that stadium.

Don't most here think Seattle is overrated? I happened to like the Seahawks, and have been to a few of their games (my Uncle lives there). I hope they do great, just not at the expense of the Vikes. And I think they are and will continue to be a good team. They certainly got a key piece, the QB, that's looking good. Unlike some other NFL teams.

LOL! For a second there, I thought you were going to make it through a post without making a crack about the Vikings QB situation.

Nope, its my reason of consternation since the Wilfs have taken over. Even before then really.

So you had to hijack the thread that had NOTHING to do with the Vikings QBs by mentioning the QB situation.
See why I don't come here much anymore? And I know I'm not the only one with these concerns. But hey, it is a Message Board, right? Everything is legal!

I don't mind at all, I live in Vancouver so that means I can actually watch a Vikings game....though the fans are ridiculous.

And you hijacked the thread only to complain about another fans opinion? Half your posts are just to complain about what other people say. We get it, you're Mr. Positive, do you want an award? Oh wait, except when it comes to complaining about other fans, then you're just as negative as any Ponder basher. I'm sorry you and the "others" that share the same "concerns" can't handle opinions that differ from your own on a PUBLIC message board. To avoid these concerns, you and your imaginary friends will have to start a private board of your own where you can share crayons and control the challenging subjects that venture outside your delusional comfort zone.

Now back on topic, the schedule rotates so sometimes you end up with these scheduling quirks. Believe it or not, if the Vikings and Seahawks both finish in the same position within their divisions, we'll again play at Seattle next year. Our only NFC West opponent next year will be on the road and we get the team that finishes where we finish. In 2015 we finally get Seattle at home because the last time we played the entire NFC West (last year) it was at Seattle.

If you think that's bad, the Giants had to play at the dome for 4 consecutive seasons from 2001-2004, and then 3 more consecutive seasons from 2008-2010.

Yeah, it's a quirk think. My coworker is a Seattle fan and we were taking a look at how the schedule is formatted. We already know the teams they'll play based of their previous year, but it's also layed out where the games will be, but I don't know how they decide that...It says something like (NFC West hosts NFC North team in same position in standings). It's weird.
