The Minnesota Vikings 2016 schedule has been released and we have a week-by-week preview of the whole upcoming season.
The schedule has been released and now the Vikings and their fans know exactly who the team will be playing and where and when.
Is it a tough schedule? An easy schedule? That’s pretty much impossible to say this far out. Last year a lot of teams might have looked at the Vikings as an easy opponent only to be very unpleasantly surprised. Some of the Vikings’ opponents in 2016 will be considered doormats until the actual games arrive. And then Viking fans might be the ones experiencing a very unpleasant realization.
Remember the 2015 season opener against San Francisco?
The NFL is intriguing precisely because you never know from one year to the next what will happen. Minnesota is coming off a playoff season, but that doesn’t guarantee that they will be back in contention again this year.
It’s all about consistency. The Vikings are trying to put together a team that can be in contention year after year. They did it last year, but that doesn’t really prove anything. If they do it again this year, then we’ll know that they are on the right track.
Even though we don’t really know what will happen, let’s look ahead to the Vikings’ sixteen regular season games in 2016.
