come on now bud, from one minnesota fan to another, let's not get ahead of ourselves!

[Watchtower76]

If you follow football and not just cuz you live in this state, these improvment have never happened before too us. Every year you here living in this state that this is the year....and of course we were the laughing stock of the league expecially with our worthless D. Now everyone who lives in minnesota doesn't understand who we picked up cuz you only follow minnesota teams and don't realize that finally they are going to be a GREAT TEAM....It's reality that they have everthing in place to make a run at the S.B

[BigTicket]

dude if your suggesting that I dont know who we picked up or if you are generalizing all minnesota fans your off base. Yes the vikes made all the right moves in the off-season, they appear to be much much improved on the defensive side of the ball, but you make it sound like you KNOW the vikes are gonna be awesome. I think its cool you are being optimistic, but I am realistic, and I am not going to set myself up for a letdown. One game at a time, I believe they will impress me, and we shall see. Mike Tice hasn't shown me shit, etc.

NFC NORTH SUCKS DONKEY BALLS. Its all about the AFC West this year.

They made some good moves (transactions), but they're still a long ways off from being a "Great" team.....I think you have some bias involved here.....They will be better, probaly at the most, a "Good" team, but I don't see em going any further than, or not as far, as they did last year.....GL to ya....I don't live there, I'm not partial to them or any other NFL team, I just like to pick winners......kapt

[BigWeiner]

They may go 9-7, they may go 10-6, I think 9.5 is right there. They are definitely heading in the right direction.

Question for everyone

What do you think the team is missing then? i personally think nothing

Bigticket, Not saying you don't know anything, it's just funny listening too a lot of people, and i am sure you hear it day in and day out. Now after 5 years of crap they think the vikes will have another joke year. I personally don't see how, expecially having a 8-8 team with that joke D. I will bring up this message that i sent come Decemeber and if i am wrong, i hope someone else brings it up and shoves it in my face cuz i will be the first one to say "I am overly shocked"

[Watchtower76]

I just think it's exciting finally too have a MN team that will be in contention. i couldn't imagine living in Cleveland or San Fransico right now.

[BetweenTheLines]

contention in getting spanked by philly or atlanta j/k. I hope they do well.

[Watchtower76]

that's why Atlanta will come in 2nd behind Carolina

[BetweenTheLines]

This is how I see the NFC this year
1. Philly
2. Atlanta
3. Carolina
4. Dallas
5. Minny
LAST NFC West Because that division is puke.

Minny might get a better record than Dallas or Carolina though because Green Bay, Chicago, and Detroit are all mediocre to subpar teams.

[moondog22]

NFC North
Packers
Lions
Viqueans
Da Bears

[BetweenTheLines]

Green Bay with that D? I don't think so. Also, what happened to that home field advantage?

We had to lets some teams win here because people were begining to think the games were fixed. New defenesive coach=vastly improved defense.Little worried on offense.
