Is it? The Bills finished in 4th place last year. The Jets finished in second. Would it be an advantage to play the Bills instead of the Jets this season?

The Texans finished in last place in 2013. The Jags finished in third. Which teams is it better to face this season?

Can anyone say with complete assurance now, whether the Giants will be better than the Redskins at whatever point the Vikes might play one of them next season or that Atlanta will definitely be better than Tampa Bay?

Quick! What's the order of finish in every division in the NFL next year? ;)

Does anything think they won't be better? Eli/Ryan vs...who? Colt McCoy? Glennon? Jameis...maybe Cutler I guess...

Right now I know the Falcons and Giants are better than the Redskins and Bucs. And with the lack of talent at the most important position in the game, I'm pretty close to complete assurance that it will remain that way.

The jets were 2nd in the division last year with ZERO talent at the most important position and now they are last. Bottom line is, anything can happen

* Matt Kalil seemed to hold up much better this week and the past few weeks. Hopefully he's working some of his problems out.
Sorry I'm so late coming into this, Frosted. Busy with work related things. Great job as always. I love reading these threads by you! :thumbsup:

Anyway, I think the above statement about Matt Kalil is important. If there is any possible way that Kalil can work through his problems and become the force as an OT that we saw glimpses of during his rookie year, that would be fantastic news for the Vikings. They really need that. I'm pulling for the guy to succeed.

That's exactly why I am nowhere near giving up on him yet. Its not like he's 30+ years old and has always struggled like Charlie Johnson has. This is why LG is a way bigger need than LT is right now.

Along with having a year left on his rookie deal. There's no way you don't give him another year before pulling the plug and making any sort of significant investment at the position.

I hope Matt Kalil fails miserably.

That gives us a better chance to lose out, which allows us to use our slightly higher draft pick to get a slightly better left tackle and dominate our marginally weaker opponents next year. That is, until we're eliminated from playoff consideration, at which time I hope the new, slightly better left tackle also shows signs of epic failure, helping us lose the rest of our games and guaranteeing a marginally higher draft position in 2016.

And at THAT point, we'll have a powerhouse team worthy of opening our new stadium.

Yeah. That should work.

Go ahead. I dare you.

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.

LOL! Impeccable logic. Maybe the Vikings should draft to fail the next few years. :thumbsup:

A good buddy roots against us when "indicated" I may try in my head to do that but when I see players on the field it goes out the window. Fan is short for fanatic right? I have too much emotion tied up with these guys to root "strategically" To each their own I guess.
