Vikings Message Board.Com

I'm a kool aid chugging idiot. I thought we were going at least 8-8 this year.

Next 13 games

Steelers in London (I don't think we will)
Carolina Panthers, a team that just beat the New York Giants 38-0 (They'll be 2-2 and beat us)
@Giants in prime time.
Packers in prime time
@Cowboys
Redskins
@Seattle
@Packers
Bears in December. They'll be playing for playoff position, we might have won 3 games or less. Loss.
@Ravens
Eagles (Nah)
Bengals on the road
Lions

Games I'll just call as losses right now...

Giants road game in prime time, Packers in prime time, Dallas, Seattle, November road game against Packers,
Bears in December, December Road game against Ravens, Bengals on the Road

Putting me at saying the team is at BEST 5-11 right now.

3-13 season coming up?

The good news is we are now ahead of Cleveland in the race for the #1 pick. If Jax can just somehow find a couple of wins this year I think we have a good chance at a top 3 pick.

But didn't you hear? Ponder's our guy.

After today I think 7-6 would be awfully hard to see.

I wouldn't even argue with anyone know who would say 3-10 the rest of the way.

I say we lose in London. Regroup after the bye and go 4-8. The last 4 away games have embarrassment written all over them at this point.

We are now 1-7 in our last 8 games. Yes, I am counting the preseason as no adjustments seem to have been made.

Our chance to win was today , maybe in London. After next week we have NO PRAYER to win a gam. 0-16 and we will pick #1

Somebody will be 0-4 after next week

Holy cow, 8-8 makes you a kool aid chugger? I guess expectations were low for this playoff team. Heck I figured we could go at least 8-8 on the back of AD alone and I hardly consider myself a kool aid drinker.

I still see us going 5-11. We always seem to make a run when it matters least. Plus we gotta screw up our draft positioning. It's not a bad Viking season until we screw up a better draft pick by winning some meaningless games late in the season.

If we don't beat this Steelers team on a neutral field, there might not be a winnable game on the rest of the schedule. Seriously.

Washington or the Panthers I guess.

3-13 or worse could be in the cards, which would tie or be the worst single season performance in franchise history.

Imagine if the Vikings could go from 10-6 to 0-16. Has there ever been a more dramatic turnaround in the history of the NFL?

The Vikings have left their mark on a lot of dubious NFL records over the years. Could they possibly eclipse that one?

Still too much talent to actually go 0-16, Adrian alone will give them a couple wins.

The 2010 Colts were 10-6, the 2011 Colts were 2-14, tough to beat there but I have faith in our purple.

Best guess is that they'll get somewhere between 0 and 13 wins. If Peterson gets the Vikings a couple of wins, then I think you're right - he will have to due it alone.

Lets not forget that this is the Minnesota Friggin Vikings we're talking about.

I guarantee they will win as many games as it takes to end up one pick late for our targeted QB, whoever that may be. Then the will trade their 2nd and 3rd round picks to move up one spot but fail to get to the podium in time to announce their pick. The team we just traded with will run up, grab our guy and thumb their noses at us on the way back to the table. Book it.

The vikings had some close losses. I think they can get a few wins here and there. I'm thinking 3-5. I guess I'll go with 4 total wins this year. I guess the Vikings have done it before where they've looked terrible and then suddenly went on a run though. Vikings looked bad in 2008 with Jackson, switched to Ferrote(and eventually back to jackson) and ended up making the playoffs.

I just say we put AP as the QB and go 100% wildcat all season. Lets see how the Defensive Coaches plan for that.
