SB Nation Reacts Results: Vikings Fans Less Confident Despite Big Win

Our first question for this week is how confident everyone is feeling about the Vikings heading into Week 2 of the 2026 regular season. You would think that a 17-point victory over a division rival would have folks brimming with confidence heading into the first road game of the season.

Of those who responded to our poll for this week, just 46% feel that the team is moving in the right direction, a drop from 60% going into the season opener against Green Bay . Despite the margin of victory, I suppose that's understandable given the way that things went. The team was trailing by double digits late in the third quarter, and the Packers pretty well melted down to help the Vikings get the victory in the fashion that they did. Sure, it's nice to get a huge victory and send a division rival to an 0-1 start to the season, but there are significant reasons for concern as well.

Speaking of which, our other question for this week was exactly how concerned everyone is with the Vikings' offense after their performance in Week 1. Yes, there is some panic to be had among Vikings nation when it comes to that side of the ball.
