Considering the financial investment that the Vikings made to upgrade their roster this offseason, it should come as no surprise that owner Zygi Wilf and Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen have grand expectations....

"The thing that I see as a difference is the attitude of the guys that are here," he said. "We have an attitude this year like we're working toward a goal. We're always working toward a goal, but this year you can definitely sense the guys have a little bit of extra pep in their step because we know we have a good team."

Love the positive attitude. It sounds like everyone is feeling it.

We are all feeling it. I hope the dome is extra loud this year and full.

It'll be really loud this year beginning with the first time Jared Allen is announced as he comes out of that tunnel.

Jared's acquisition by the Vikings is going to impact the team as a whole in more ways than people think.

It's already begun. The team feels it.

It's in the air. Breath it in. Can you feel it?

It's in the rain........purple rain...purple reign.

I think that every1 is expecting lofty things from the vikes this year. We have what should be the most solid team we've had in many many years!!

based on the aquasitions we have starts on O and D.

we have the league's BEST run D. and with Jared and others we should be up there with pass d as well!

our trench warriors are in my eyes second to none. dominating is how i would like to see them!!

now Tjack is finding his groove, AD and CT are pumped to jam the field with highlight runs. even Shianco is stepping up his game!

i'm truely expecting some GREAT games as a fan of football and the VIKINGS!!

They are going to dominate GB on opening day. I can feel it. Rodgers is going down.

Nah, I think he only gets sacked twice.
Once on the first snap.
After that he becomes jumpy and throws three INTs.

I'm hoping brining pressure rattles his cage the way it used to rattle Favre's.
