Schedule issues:
1. Spending consecutive weeks in the UK last year, with travel from Dublin to London in the middle, should’ve made the Vikings exempt from the international game idiocy for several years. I don’t care that Mexico City is in the same time zone as Minnesota. Five international games in five years is bullshit.
2. For the fourth consecutive year the Vikings have to travel to one of the coasts for a Thursday night game. Three days is never enough rest between games. For four consecutive years, the Vikings have been forced to hand one of those days to travel. Again, bullshit.
Some schedule highlights:
1. The Vikings kick off and wrap up the schedule with home games against division foes.
2. Over the final eight weeks, the Vikings play only two division foes.
3. Four Prime Time games is a nice start. Seeing as the Vikings will be ripping up the league this season, they’ll likely have a late-season game, or two, bumped to a Prime Time slot.
4. Other than traveling (again) to the coast for a Thursday night game and an international game (again), it isn’t a bad schedule. It’s definitely a better schedule than the bullshit of last season.
