Vikings Fans Urge Team to Sell, SB Nation Poll Reveals
Recent responses from Minnesota Vikings fans suggest strong sentiments regarding the team’s direction and trade strategies. A newly concluded poll by Emegypt, part of SB Nation Reacts, provides insightful data on fan opinions.
Vikings’ Direction Under Scrutiny
In the latest survey, only 20% of participants believe the Vikings are heading in the right direction. This decline follows a disheartening loss against the Los Angeles Rams. With a current record below .500, fans’ confidence appears to wane. The defeat on that Thursday night raised doubts about a possible turnaround for the remainder of the season.
Trade Deadline Considerations
The approaching NFL Trade Deadline has sparked considerable discussion among fans. Respondents were asked whether they believe the Vikings should be buyers or sellers. The results indicate a clear preference among fans.
- 53% of fans advocate for selling during the trade deadline.
- 28% support standing pat, choosing not to make any trades.
- 19% believe the team should seek out additional players before the deadline.
Despite the majority leaning towards selling, questions arise about player value. For instance, speculation about trading Jordan Addison seems unlikely, raising concerns about the team’s assets.
Upcoming Challenges
Fans expressed a desire to reassess opinions after upcoming games, particularly against Detroit. Yet, the timing before the Tuesday trade deadline limits this possibility.
Emegypt appreciates all participants who contributed to this week’s survey. Early insights for Week 10 promise to bring further engaging discussions as the season progresses.
