Predictions for Vikings Season.

[Scott K]

T-Wolves all over again. $1 seats anyone?

I dont think you can compare the 2 clubs at all, Glen Taylor is willing to drop the price of his tickets to bring people in, while he knows he isnt putting a product on the court that is worth full price. I am pretty sure we wont be seeing bulk ticket packages such as the 20 ticket pack deals that the Wolves, and Twins offer up.

Glen Taylor Zygi Wilf is willing to drop the price of his tickets to bring people in, while he knows he isnt putting a product on the court field that is worth full price.

Fixed.

I took my wife to the Tampa Bay game because the Vikings were offering tickets at 50% off to avoid blackouts.....so they were already at this point BEFORE the season started.

well its only fair they charge half-price, the Vikes only play half a game!

[LMITOUT]

[FISHINGURU]

McFlabb is beyond tired after halftime. You know how it is when you play sports when your out of shape, then you take a break for half hour and stiffen up then you have to get back at it.

[LMITOUT]

Didn't Shanahan say that was the reason he took McNabb out of a game with two minutes left and replaced him with Sexy Rexy? McNabb's tongue is hanging out after the first drive...and we've seen how short their drives have been lately.

[GlassEyeangler]

I will give them 4 wins this year. I too see them being moved to LA. I haven't seen a full Viking game since preseason last year. I'm so mad at them right now it's too painful to watch! Old man Farve and now fat and happy McNabb! I just hope when they are moved they won't be called the LA Vikings...we should keep the name and rebuild. BUT...then again there's the Lakers, so my hopes are shot!

One of the wins I picked is this Sunday against the Chiefs...they blow that - move on!

Boo McFlabb, Boo Frazier, and hey Zigi...get out!

[Stratosman]

OOOH that was a good one, saw lots of positives to build on for next week! Pfft. We are screwed this year. I was holding out some hope for McNabb to start coming through, but he IS terrible.

Is it time for Ponder, supposed to be the most NFl "ready" qb in the draft.... I think if GB wins today, it's over anyway, why not see if he was worth the 1st round pick. Either way I'm done watching for about the next 6 weeks anyway, until my rod guides start freezing that is!

Hey at least we have the gophers, the twins and the t-wolves...

[Whoaru99]

Yea team! Not.

Maybe 4-12, if they get lucky.

[flipper]

Now I know I was being optimistic when I predicted a 6-10 record. They will do well to get 4 wins this year. Stick a fork in them.

I accepted the fact that my seven-win prediction was too optimistic after last week's collapse.

I have faith in the Vikings winning just enough games--two, three, four--to ensure that they have no chance at Luck with the first overall pick. None of those wins will be against NFC North teams.

[Stratosman]

I have to say this with a bit of a vomit in my mouth, but it's kinda fun watching the packers, a team that actually has the talent and coaching and knows what to do with it.. they look absolutely unstoppable..

[Steve Foss]

they look absolutely unstoppable..

Except for their pass defense and lack of running game!

Green Bay's defense is average; it will cost them a couple games this year before things are done. Hopefully one of those games is in the playoffs.

[flipper]

We will all be Packer fans once the Vikings are gone.

I suspect some will say: "DEATH FIRST!!!!"

[reinhard1]

Ponder will start next week and McNabb will be realeased to make a spot for another player. that is what i think should happen but we will see. we are in a re-building phase or at least that what we should be doing. the offensive line needs to be less offensive. good luck.

[LMITOUT]

Leslie said in the post-game conference that McWashedup will start next week. Sounds like a repeat of Chilly's undying love of T-Jack and look where that took him...to the unemployment line.

Speaking of T-Jack...he just tossed another TD pass...

[Steve Foss]

Sounds like a repeat of Chilly's undying love of T-Jack.

Or simply a logical decision to give Ponder a bit more time.

[LMITOUT]

According to Leslie he's a NFL-ready QB, so no reason not to throw him in there. He has a bromance with McNabb back to when they were both at Philly and now he doesn't want to be the one to end his career. Well, it's either him or McNabb at this point.

[Steve Foss]

Well, I'll just let that one go, exit stage right, and not be a Packers fan horning in on a Vikings thread.

[reinhard1]

so how much time does Ponder need under the leadership of McNabb? to anounce that McNabb is going to start next week tells me Frazier has some illusion that the vikings are going into the playoffs and further. if that's the case a coaching change is proper. the packers knew when Farve had his best days, and so should the vikings. This is not all McNabb's fault by any means, many changes need to be made, but at least give the guy you drafted to be a quarterback time in the NFL, and not on the bench. good luck.

Play calling has everything to do with it. T-Jack was 25-38 for 319 yards and 3 touchdowns. I always wondered what he could do with an actual opportunity with some actual NFL-caliber play calling (something he never got with the Vikings).

Open up the playbook. Throw the ball on first down once in a while. Throw the ball more than 11 or 12 yards downfield once in a while. If you do that, both McNabb and T-Jack are better QBs. And if you don't, Ponder will look bad, too, and everyone will be ready to throw him under the bus by next season along with T-Jack and McNabb.

[Jarrod32]

Looking ahead at the Vikings schedule, they won't throw Ponder at the Packers or Bears in his first start (weeks 6 and 7). Maybe week 8 against Cam Newton and the Panthers? Then it is a bye week, then Monday night against the Packers in week 10...that won't be his first start.

I would think that Ponder will get his first NFL start Week 11 against the Raiders.

[james_walleye]

With real NFL playcalling, through 3 weeks, he was the 28th rated QB in the NFL. Dont leave out he had 2 INT's today. I dont think to many people are missing him....

You do realize that Darrel Bevel is Seattles offensive coordinator now....?
