I believe we go 2 and 3 in that stretch. But with this team you never know which Vikings will show up.
We can go 5-0 or 0-5. Heck we almost lost to the f*cking Lions. No one can say so certain.

Counting the Texans as a W is almost laughable.
They are on a 3 game winning streak.
Their first 3 game winning streak in their short history.
They will not go down easy my friends.

Well at least somebody will think it'll be a game.
Also, I wouldn't worry about the Williams's for a few weeks about the suspension.
The NFL will drag their feet a little since there's so many names.

Just means they have never won 4 in a row, which means the texans should lose. ;D

Houston I agree, Tampa, not so sure at this point.

Tampa, is well coached but I don't think their offense can beat our defense. I think our offense can beat their defense if we play it correctly. I don't see us pounding the ball like we did. We are not wearing down teams this year. I would like to see the OLINE wear thier beefed up safties (linebackers) and let our backs have our way in the 4th.

ah yes... our defense... You would be referring to the same defense that gave up 48 points against the bears??
The same bears we were laughing at before the season started because they were so clueless?
Yep, thats a real tough defense to beat.

I'm more worried about the Bucs.
We have never won at Raymond James Stadium (our only loss in '98 was at RJS) maybe it's something in the water.
We could just tell them not to drink the water, get everyone good and drunk just before game time so they can overcome all those inhibitions and play like they don't give a shit.....oh, wait, that's how they are playing under Childress now. :

A year ago the vikes were 2-5. There upcoming schedule looked like this.
San Diego
@Green bay
Oakland
@New York Giants
Detroit
@San Francisco
Chicago
I'm sure most were calling for a 3 win season at that point but the team rose to the challenge and won 5 of those 6 games. I think this years team is better and and is in a better position(last year the packers were 6-1 at this point and we were 4 games out, now we are 1 game out).

Opponents records
first 7 games: 27-22, 55.1% our record:3-4
Next 7 games: 23-27, 46% our record:?

Let's not forget though that they lost 4 in a row to start the season, they are 3-4, same as us. The teams they beat in the 3 game winning streak, Miami, Detroit, Cincinatti. Those teams have a combined record this season of 3-19 and all 3 games were in Houston, and Miami and Detroit were very close games.
I think I'll go ahead and figure this game as a W, and I'm not laughing.

And for comparisons sake the 3 teams the vikings beat are a comined 10-13.

Its nice to see everyone here giving up.



I for one think the Vikes can go undefeated the rest of the season.

There is no real reason to think otherwise.
