NBC affiliate, KARE 11 in Minneapolis, Minn., had us spitting our coffee out this morning with an epic fail on a Minnesota Vikings poll.
Apparently, the people running the poll still think we’re back in the 1950s. As pointed out by Timothy Burke of Deadspin, they asked fans how many of the 12 games this season the Vikings would win.
Does this Minneapolis TV station know how many games are in an NFL season? https://t.co/N0xsTSe5Wh pic.twitter.com/TouD1cQ0Ia

What’s perhaps even crazier than the poll is that fans only think the Vikings will win half their games this year.
This is a team that went 11-5 last season and looks to have upgraded both sides of the ball a bit heading into 2016.
Of course, when you remember the last thing Vikings fans saw last season was Blair Walsh shanking the crap out of a potential game-winning field goal against the Seattle Seahawks (watch here), then this makes a bit more sense.
