I agree... QB is a close 2nd though, and Teddy is kinda up in the air right now. Hopefully he will continue improving and become the long term answer we have been loking for there.

What's the weather forecast for Sunday in Minneapolis? Snow might be a good neutralizer.

Only a 10% chance of snow right now, but it looks like a high of 14 degrees lol

Honestly, against SEA, I don't think the weather will influence the game much. They are a lot like us: strong D and strong running game. Their passing game is better than ours, IMO.

We'd better figure out a way to hold them to less than 20 points, cause I can't imagine our O putting up much more than that against their D.

So glad to win the division, bracing myself for a tough game vs. Seattle. 11-5 exceeds my expectations. Love Zimmer and the direction we're headed in.

The Vikes might even need points from their defense to win.

11-5 exceeds my expectations too. It's great to see the Vikes on top in the NFC North again! It would be even better to see them pull off an upset and win next week.

Absolutely, it would. I am not fond of Pete Carrol at all. I think he did some shady stuff at USC and escaped before he had to suffer the consequences. I was a grad student at UT Austin when we beat them in the national championship, which was a totally unexpected outcome. The Trojans were a HEAVY favorite against my Longhorns... I loved beating him then, and I'd savor it even more if the Vikings could pull it off.

I'm happy with the season 11-5 and the NFC north title. And we have been pretty banged up all season.
I don't think to many of us ever thought this was the year we was going to the Super Bowl .
Against the Seahawks we need to have the game of the season.

To beat the Packers at their Home, for the division is the real deal. Get a weak off, and play a teams thats been up and down.

Its a great feeling.

We don't get a week off.

Yup. Only that could be one of two teams. The Packers or the Redskins.

Here's an odd fact - in the first playoff weekend, only 1 HOME team is favored, and they are only favored by 1 point (WASH over GB).

Vikes are the biggest underdogs at +5

DIVISION CHAMPS!!!!
SKOL!!!

Right now I don't think what team is favored matters at all. If there were upsets across the board, I wouldn't be shocked.

That said, I'm actually happy the Vikings aren't favored. This season they did some of their best work while the sports media wasn't looking.

Agreed....it just stood out to me because so much is made about home field advantage during the playoffs. But if you look at each game, the lines do make sense. KC is on fire winning 10 straight against a weak Houston team. Seattle could be the hottest team in the NFL right now. I'm really curious about the Bengals-Steelers game. AJ has played well in relief of Dalton, so that could be a great game.

Guys, I am so sick of the meda's Packer bias and lack of respect for the Vikings.

I just watched NFL Network's highlights of the game.

Of the 20 plays shown, 14 were Packer highlights.

Unbelievable. Are they aware the Vikings won?

I had this sinking feeling the whole 4th quarter that we would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We nearly did. I'm so glad that this didn't happen and what a team to finally get it right on.

We need a emoticon that shows a Viking stomping a wedge of cheese.

My thoughts exactly.....there are certain teams that the NFL favors (Pack, Pats, Steelers, etc) and we are clearly not one of them.
