Playoff Chances

[purplehaze]

Are up to 17% after the win against the Lions. That is all.

Our chances don't look good. I predict 8-8, and we will be 3rd in the division

Playoffs? PLAYOFFS???

[losperros]

Missing the playoffs this year won't bother me that much. I'm still in "rebuilding" mode for this team, which means I'm just looking for improvement.

As I've said before, I think this year's Vikings team is definitely better than last year's version.

Agreed we have come a long way in a short time. We had a great draft from I can tell

Kalil : looks to be a 10 year starter at LT for us

Harrison Smith: agressive saftey who is only going to get better hard worker great attitude

Robinson: not a lot of games but appears to be a good corner for us

Blair Walsh: really good kicker has helped our special teams so much

Darius Wright: time will tell but seems to have the speed we need at wide out

Audie Cole doing a good job on special teams and hopefully we replace a starter at LB at some point

Nah playoffs are for those with the purple shades on a bit too tight.

But this team is better then last years.

We still have questions at QB (1 good game means very little) coaching, and who to re-sign.

Not that I think they will make he playoffs, but if someone told you the Vikings would be 6-4 going into the bye you probably would have said the same thing about 'purple shades' too. This team has been a surprise ... I wouldn't rule them out.

I guess time will only tell right?

8-8 would make my year! I'd feel like it meant we had really good things in store for the future, if we had a QB that I thought we could rely on.

No doubt. I'd take 8-8, even with six wins already under our belts. There are no gimmes left on the schedule. The Rams were really good yesterday, and they're even tougher at home. Houston has almost no flaws. Green Bay could give our defense fits. And Chicago ... well, if Cutler is still kookoo in a couple weeks, we might have a chance there.

Two more wins against that schedule? Color me very happy.

The reason I say 8-8 is because I think we will beat the rams and win one of the four games against the packers and bears. It's not the safest prediction, but I have faith in this team that we will win two more games

[jackal]

hey you remember we beat the Niners this year at home !

We could end up with 9 wins but i think 8-8 is more likely right now

[CalVike]

I believe this can happen.

Bears road .. Win
Packers road .. Loss
Bears home .. Win
Rams road .. Win
Texans road .. Loss
Packers home .. Win

For 10-6. But more likely a split with the Bears for 9-7. And possibly a sneaky Texans win if they rest starters. They could surprise me and stink it up but I have seen enough to give them some faith. Go Vikes!

I believe that could happen, especially the 9-7 scenario, as long as the Vikings D and passing offense doesn't lapse again. For the Vikings to win 3 or 4 of the next games probably means they have to play well across the board. They simply haven't done that a lot lately.

Well like we saw the other day against houston, bad weather for the games @chicago and @gb could be quite advantageous for us. Bad weather can favor a team with a power running game and severely hamper a team like GB. Peterson late November / early December could be a major boost for us. (as if he wasn't already)

9-7 !
