I am getting excited for this Purple Pride season! I usually careless about how the Vikings do and just enjoy watching them play every game. But I thought I would ask anyway, now that we have a good defense and overall sound hopefully consistent offense...

How will the Vikes finish this season? I say 11-5 and NFC Championship, but I am not doubting a SuperBowl appearance.

Based on last years finish, and the total team history, I think a 9-7 would be a good year. The offense has the talent, but has shown in the past to not have the desire. Every year they seem to "play down" to the level of the opponants and choke away a game or two. The defense IMHO still lacks playmakers and will be lucky to finish in the middle of the pack.

They (Star Tribune) said the third year with Tice is the charm...

First year w/ Tice: 6-10
Second year w/ Tice: 9-7 (missed playoffs)
Third year w/ Tice: ???

Hopefully, we go all the way...

I say 11-5. Road wins against Philly, GB, Indy and even Chicago and Detroilet will be tough to come by. And there's also a good home opener against Dallas, and the Vikes always have that "Doh!" game, where all of us wake up the next day scratching our heads. (See Giants, Detroilet and AZ games from last year) I think the main question marks for this year is at linebacker(s) and also on pass rush. I'm curious if Hovan can rebound...K Williams is a stud, but cannot do it all alone inside. My defensive sleeper this year is Steve Martin. He may be our next Jerry Ball.

I am old enough to know when there was NO Pro-Football team in Minnesota. I think that we all cheered for the Pack then. In the Central Division, you never know who will win the game on Sunday!! I am a true Purple and Gold FAN. I am always opptimistic about the Vikes chances. This year, I do believe we are looking at a team that can compete with the Big Boys.

I should have known better!!! The readers of this forum are much too savvy to deceive with a simple trick like that.

Honestly, I say the Vikes go 10-6 because of their brutal schedule. Too many questions on the defensive side of the ball and Linehan and Tice don't have complete confidence in Daunte to "turn him loose". 3 of their 6 losses will be attributed to playing "not to lose" just like the Chicago and Arizona games last year.

If they make the playoffs they could be dangerous because of the competitive schedule--if everyone isn't banged up too badly.

I'll take a repeat of the start last year. So that's 6-0 and then I guess I'll settle for .500 ball the rest of the season. 11-5 North division title, and I'm thinking a bye along with Philly. Followed by the Vikings first trip to the Super Bowl in my lifetime.

Funny stuff guys! I'm a Vike's fan and I anticipate an 11-5 record, no playoff predictions until I see how were playing heading in. I believe this may be our buddy Brett Favres last year next door so I hope the "greatest fans in the history of the universe/galaxy" can enjoy his last games.. too bad it won't happen in the dome! You guys did know that Packer fans are the Worlds undeniable best right? just ask them and they'll tell you. Heres a joke many of you probably have heard... it bears repeating.
How many Packer fans does it take to change a lightbulb???
Three, one to change the bulb and two to talk about how good the old one was!

12-4, win the division and play in the NFC championship game. They will win in OT on a MORTON Anderson field goal and Viking fans will have our 1st superbowl win to make up for the Drew Person push off year that would have won it for us.
