We (including Musgrave and Ponder) know pretty much what to expect from this offensive line because we watched them all of last year. It's going to be rough. Don't expect Charlie Johnson to turn into Carl Nicks for three hours on Sunday.

I see. Thanks for clarifying your point.

Believe me, I don't expect miracles. I'm just hoping they can at least play at the level they did when the Vikes played the Lions in the Metrodome last season (in other words, solid, winning football).

Sorry but im pretty sure Vikings will loose this weekend. I hope they dont loose, but I think Detroit is better right now. Also, Browns are going to have a really good year (for browns standards) so I wouldnt sleep on them too much. I think Vikings will win that, but Browns will fight pretty hard.

No offense intended but I believe the word you wanted was "lose", not "loose".

I agree that the Browns shouldn't be overlooked. That could be a tough game.

The Lions' D line has 3 new starters and 6 guys overall who were not on the roster last year.

With the Vikes QB they will be lucky to even win one game all year...yes he is that bad.

Every season 'experts' predict the Lions are finally going to be good. Yet every year they are wrong. This year the division is more up for grabs then usual. Even the Lions could snatch it. But if there's any justice, so can the Vikes.

Yep. I've been waiting. I don't have much patience left.

Yup, and I expect Musgrave to target him and try to take advantage of his rawness and inexperience. Is he right or left side DE?

The Lions look like they have a dangerous offense this year so it will be a good test of the Vikings' defense right out of the gate. Going up against a pretty good QB who throws to the best WR in the league and they finally found a RB that can contribute. Bush adds an extra dimension that could push this offense into the elite category and he'll be their 2nd best receiver this year. If the Vikings D can't handle him, it's gonna be a long afternoon.
