I see them going 8-8. I think they will lose 2 games because of the kicking game. I think Cook will be great when healthy but only plays 8 games. The defense takes a step back after losing Sheldon Richardson and Linvan Joseph/Harrison Smith/Xavier Rhodes/Everson Griffin getting a year older.

I predict the Vikings will be better against the run than last year. Against the pass? Depends on health of the secondary. Griffin is likely going to a better player than he was last year even if he is older etc.

I'd guess they win around 10 games if they stay reasonably healthy. Oline tackle depth and DBs are the worry aside from the obvious of Cousins staying healthy.

Exactly 10 not around 10. :-d

The Vikes scored more points then the Packers and gave up less points. But somehow lost to them twice and lost the division. Oh well. Maybe a miracle can strike and the Vikings make a run from no where to the Superbowl. I wouldn't mind losing to Baltimore.

I finished watching the game agains the bears a few minutes ago. It was slightly more thrilling than the Nebraska basketball game I went to earlier. Anyway the Vikings got into the playoffs and at some point that is all that matters. We know we will be disappointed we just don't know how. Lol

I'm happy we're playing the Saints becuz I hate the idea of 3 losses to the packers in one year .

The other "positive" is we get this losing and disappointment out of the way because I think the Saints are the best team we had as a a possibility to face in the playoffs. 1 and done feels pretty likely IMHO.
