Is this a must win game against Detroit?

If we would lose can we come back and beat GB for the Division title?

I think every game is a must win for the vikes from here out.

Must win. On paper this should be the easiest win the rest of this year.

It's a must win game at home against an inferior team. Pepp has plenty of weapons even with Moss on the sideline. It's time for Linehan to open up the deep ball again and for Robinson, Burleson and Campbell to step up to the challenge. Hopefully Cottrells new "simplified" defensive schemes will pay off. If the defense can't step it up in the last half of the season, the team won't go far in the playoffs anyway, and that holds true for whoever wins the division.

Yes, this game is a must win.

YES, UNLESS the Vikings run the table with the remaining games after the lions game. But the Lions have been playing crappy ball of late. If the Vikings can not beat them at home, Moss or no Moss, then it is pretty much over. Now the spread is another thing, its 7 1/2. Should I take it?

Claiborne guaranteed a 10 point victory. Maybe he knows something we don't. Simplifying the defense may give the D a shot in the arm.
