If the Williams’s are suspended make that record 7-9 at best.

11-5 if we dont lose this game we will lose to Arz maybe but i still think we can handle them…if san fran can find a way into that game when they really shouldn’t have been…then we’ll be fine, i think…i believe AP could have a massive day on the Cards, because man…Frank gore was finding some holes

oh excuse me i wasnt done…However if w dont lose to the Cards we are are going 12-4 and taking 2nd seed. I see carolina getting the 3rd seed and finishing maybe 11-5 but it looks more like 10-6. go look at the schedule and tell me if you disagree. Arizona might finsh 8-8 but i can see a 9-7. so they get the 4th seed. look at the schedule and tell me if you disagree. Widcards could be one of these 4 teams…Tampa Bay…The redskins who i think will take the 5th seed…the cowboys…and ami really saying this but the falcons.

So if we can get past the Cards and the Buccs we got a 60% percent chance of winning those remaining games

At 5-4, the Vikings should be 2-7 (and on their way to 6-10 or 5-11) by my estimation. With those 3 unearned wins vs. Detroit, NO, and GB, I still think they will finish 7-9:

@TB: loss
@JAX: loss
vCHI: win (the Vikes could also lose this one and win an upset in its place)
@DET: win
@ARI: loss
vATL: loss
vNYG: loss.

Of course, I WANT 12-4, but I don’t think that is realistic given the Vikings’ QB situation and/or playcalling and coach (who is ultimately responsible for both).

Zero faith…when the shit is hitting the fan then all is lost. Were 5-4 and have to think seriously like we can make a push i think we can. it is realistic. chilly can coach just as good as any one can…how about are players play with the same intensity and drive as AP. then it would be all good. but frerotte and the special teams has been a heel. corrections can always be made week in and week out so there is time to make them.just manage the game frerotte and we can finish strong.

but you can’t really go by the AZ/SF game, thats a divisional rival and we all know how tricky that can get.. if we can get to Warner, we can win the game, but first we have to focus one game at a time and next is Tampa Bay… They have a stingy defense, but their offense is a lot like ours.. if we can stop the run and make garcia beat us i don’t see them doing it, the toughest games left are CHI, ATL, and NYG in no order.

yeah but tell me we wouldnt have beat the packers on monday night…or the colts for that matter because we dominated….if we would have had a quarterback who could MANAGE more than just a slant route,or a swing pass to his runningback.

I absolutely hate the terms “gunslinger” and “pick-six.”

The Vikings will probably go 8-8. It’s possible to get ten wins, but we’re going to have to get lucky against a couple good teams. The Vikings will most certainly not win out. Tampa Bay, Arizona, Atlanta, and New York are the big ones on the schedule. Detroit should be a gimme, and I think we should beat Chicago seeing as it’s incredibly tough to sweep division opponents. Jacksonville will be tough, but Garrard has not been playing well lately.

So, taking into account the two wins we absolutely should get against division opponents, that would put us at 7-4. I believe we can beat Jacksonvillve, so that’s 8-4. The other four teams are all very quality. I don’t necessarily think we’ll lose to them all. The Giants could be resting starters; if not, we will most likely have a hard one there. Assuming they have everything wrapped up, that’s a possible win.

Arizona’s offense is too productive right now. I don’t see us getting that game.

Atlanta and Tampa Bay are the two big swing games. Atlanta is a game I think we can win, but we’ll have to rattle the superb rookie Matt Ryan (wouldn’t he look good in purple?). Tampa Bay is going to be very hard, but they are very inconsistent. If we can take out the Bucaneers, I think we’ve got a shot at the playoffs with our remaining schedule.

If not, it might be time to look ahead to next year and the Vikings new starting QB Matt Cassel.
