Vikings 2004 Season Record?

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!

To they who cheer for the Packers or are skeptics of the VIKINGS:

It is because of you that I change my season prediction!!!

16-0; Super Bowl Champions; NEW NFL Scoring Record!!!

Sorry Denny Green and Brian Billick.

We are the Vikings (we are the vikings) The Mighty Mighty Vikings (the mighty mighty vikings) OOH, AHH, OH YEA'AH, OOH, AHH, HERE WE GO!!!

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.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
