The Vikings played the Seahawks very, very tough last season and should have split with them.
They lost by one point to the Hawks in a Championship game. That should not be downplayed.
They played the Broncos tough and should have won the game. They lost by a fg.
They beat the chargers, lost by a fg to the Cardinals.
I think you are seriously discrediting that team.
They got the Seahawks, the 2nd place finisher in the NFC West last year, at home twice last season. Lost the first time 38-7 and the second time in the playoffs 10-9. If they don't botch a FG, sure they should have split, but we are talking about 2 games at home, outscored 48-16 overall.
Ultimately, they went 5-1 in their own division last year, They went 1-4 against the NFC West, with their only win being an OT win against the Rams, again on their home field.
