Thread: Preseason done-- new predictions

While the Vikings admittedtly looked better than the Packers, the Packers came out of it unscathed, while the Vikings lost their star runner, with his backup ( a druggie moron) out for 4 games, no matter when they are.

Just curious what the new predictions are (from those who see things for what they are without the purple shades on)

I see it now (again, barring unusual inguries ie. Favre, Moss)

Pack 11-5
Vikes 9-7
Lions 8-8
Bears 5-11

Running Back is the Vikes deepest position.
Vikes - 11-5
Lions - 9-7
Bears - 7-9
Pack - Sucks

no the vikes will be fine with him out against dallas.
they have other good running backs to play that game and the way things are going it looks like smith could play a backup role in that game or get a few plays. so in my opinion every thing will go smooth

Who are your back-ups again? A rookie, a guy whos suspended, and a goal line rusher? And this is the Vikings deepest position???? That doesnt say much for the Vikings.....

I suppose yours was the 4 loss vote. That shows real intelligence. :roll:

we still won six games without Bennet and our depth at rb wasn't as great last year as it is now
so just a little FYI

This kid Mewelde Moore's going to be a star. Smith will play week 1. The Vikings are still targeting Bennett's return for week 2, although in reserve. Moe led the team through their 6-0 start last season. Granted the Vikes RB's aren't as deep as the Pack's, still I think we'll be just fine.

First off, it appears that Bennett will only miss the opener. So how on earth would it affect more than one game. Second off, I think that our 4th stringer could run for a hundred yards a game behind our O-line. And third off, even if I was the running back we could still outscore teams just by passing to the Freak, Robinson, Burleson, and Campbell. So now what other excuses are you gonna come up with as to why the pack will win the division, when you already know that it's ours?
