You're assuming that the vikings are going to beat the Seahawks and the Cardinals? I'm not saying it's that much of a stretch, but it's a pretty dumb assumption. I could also realistically see the Vikings losing their last 7 games.
Detroit
Chicago
Green Bay
Chicago
St. Louis
Houston
Green Bay
That is a very tough schedule to end on. So unless the Vikings do go 8-1 (which I doubt they will), I still don't like their chances to get a wildcard (Bears are going to win the NFC North).
I don't think it's wrong to be happy with the season that the Vikings are having, but be realistic about it.

I've been a Vikes fan forever. This team is legit.
Don't know where you're getting that from.
I'm not saying that this Vikings team is bad. I think that they will be like the Lions last year (worse offense, but better defense), only that they will miss the playoffs. I think it's overly optimistic to say the Vikings will make the playoffs at this point.

GO VIKES
How'd that 8-1 result turn out you so confidently professed should and likely would happen?
Oh wait, that didn't happen. Here again, you're being WAY OVERLY optimistic saying Minnesota will win another four games ... I'm not even going to respond to that.
Here's what you should do. After Week 17, come back into this thread, read exactly what you posted, then go somewhere there's a mirror you can look into. As you look into said mirror, raise your right hand, grip and close your fist, then start whaling the shit out of the side of your head. Maybe if you *ring* your bell enough you and the other homer Vikings fans will wake the hell up and come to the realization you guys were on some SMH shit, amplified by 2, +1, and1.
I don't care if Peterson runs laps around moon and inspires Barry Sanders to come out of retirement and compete again... it simply can't be enough to among to anything against a Bears team on the rebound this week who will do nothing short of murder Minnesota Sunday. Packers won't be slacking, Chicago will probably be in top form by the time face again, Packers too. Texans aren't the type of team to play slouchy even if they're a lock for the playoffs, and any team Jeff Fisher is coaching will give you nothing less than 100% and against a nervous "OMG we must win" on pins and needles Vikings team desperate to get a W to salvage their season will probably play right into the Rams hands and it's very possible you guys will lose that game too.
It's possible (not saying likely, but certainly possible) your team finishes the season without a single additional victory. 6-10. Yeah, I know sounds insane after they're success being 6-4, but this is the NFL where we've seen even less likely possibilities happen, and let us not forget we're talking about a franchise with historic failure when it counts (four SB appearances, four losses). They've choked just as much as any other NFL franchise that resides @ 123 Epic Failure Ave, so why should this year by any different? Because Christian Ponder is your savior?
Re: Y'all know the Vikes are gonna make the playoffs right?
Vikes got beat up rather badly this past Sunday. Right now Minnesota is sitting pretty at 6-5, but the final result will be something in the neighborhood of 7-9.
Ya'll know the Vikes be makin' them playoffs! - SIKE.

haha dumbass

You would think people would've learned to stop throwing the word playoffs around so lightly after last yrs Bills collapse.
