The Vikes actually played better these past three games than I expected by winning two of three.  I thought they'd get blown out by the red hot 9ers, but they had stayed with them. 

I now think the Vikes will make the playoffs (yes, you can now blame me if they don't). B)

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. I want more than making the playoffs and getting eliminated after 1 game. The new format lets someone else squeak in which isn't necessarily a good thing.

At the beginning of the season I thought they'd be around .500 (9-7 at best).  Maybe you thought this was a SB contending team back in August, but not me.
I really do hope they do make the playoffs even if it's only one and done. 

No I didn't think this was a contender. I picked 9 and 8. We'll see if that hit that mark or not. I am just ready to move on from this era and start again.

I forgot the 17 game change, so 9-8 has a good chance at making it to the playoffs.  At 10-7, I'd think that should lock down the last spot.  This San Fran game might be the toughest team we face the remainder of the schedule.

They had their playoff game last Sunday, and they lost!
They're not going to make it this year. They aren't a good team. Terrible defense two years in a row.
So much talent on this team is a fan fable, especially on the defensive side of the ball. And it is also obvious, nobody on the offensive side of the ball is gifted with in game strategy, adjustments, and play calling.
Better on special teams but not dependable. All in all, they will struggle to be a .500 team in the end.
I believe they are still playing hard for Zimmer. They just aren't good enough, combined with mediocre coaching.
A surefire recipe for a perpetual roller coaster ride from hell for fans!

The window that Zimmer created after a season or two of turning around our defense is closed and has been since the Philly debacle.  Under Zimmer we were never able to achieve consistency in the 4 phases of the game - Off, Def, ST and Coaching.   I have seen how this plays out enough times already.  Time for a cool change.

It ain't about the fight, it's about making too many fuckin' mistakes
