Following Thursday’s 23-14 win against the Cowboys, the Vikings finished their preseason at 2-2.
Some question marks coming into the preseason were resolved while others still need some time.
All-in-all it was about what I expected out of our squad.
Below are some other expectations and predictions that I have for the 2007 regular season.

albiet he is a writer for vikings.com I think this is the first person I see actually predicting us to achieve a winning record.... yay... can't wait 5 more dayz!!!!

The Defensive Line will top last seasons sack total of 18
Wow, he is really putting himself out on a limb there.
We should be able to surpass that by the 6th or 7th game of the season.

I hope the d-line gets 3-4 sacks against Atlanta. Then a couple more by blitzers. C'mon Udeze, end that drought.

Sacks aren't that important...pressure and turnovers are what really matter.

Put Robison in there if you want sacks and turnovers.

Yeah but 2nd or 3rd and 16 is very hard to overcome, especially with such smart DBs.

That is true...and hopefully the outcome is an interception. Gotta stay on the positive side of the takeaway ratio to win in this league.
