I'll start with that. I think the Viking's schedule is very difficult. I think you need a little good fortune to go your way to win 12+ games. But Minnesota has the horses and the depth to accomplish this and possibly more. But I feel the team could be more complete and more dangerous in the playoffs even with one less win in the regular season than last year.

I'm pegging them at 12 wins and the team nobody wants a piece of come January in the NFC. Philly won home field advantage with the league's easiest schedule....that won't be the case this season. 12 wins could mean home field advantage this year.

I think it's very doable. Why not? Last year they were looking at a .500 record with backups at QB and RB. Not that Murray was a slouch. Then they ran off a 8 game streak. Some tuff opponents along the way. Hard schedules are only hard if all these teams are what we expect them to be when we play them. Seasons have a way of weakening the hard. You can expect the Patriots to be good. The Eagles too. Unless they get full of themselves. I don't like the east coast, west coast back to back road trips against tough teams. Yeah it looks like the schedule makers screwed us. Still I believe this team has the power to beat anyone. Zim has turned this team around. Just look at his record and places we've won. We are no longer a team that can't win on the road, can't win outside. He's broken down alot of stereotypes around us. So yeah why not. Next one up. Back to back division titles. Thats been elusive to us lately.

I'm hoping for 10-6 so I guess my bar is quite a bit lower. I still think 10-6 can win the North though.

So we lose no one, upgrade the QB, upgrade the RB, upgrade the 3T...and lose 3 more games because...I'm guessing Nick Easton? A tougher schedule? Certainly possible I guess.

Floor is 10 for me this season...

I'm far more about "the window" the next 3-4 seasons...I want at least one Lombardi over this time.

The opposite of optimism is pessimism, not realism. No injuries? Our starting QB was out for the year, our starting RB was out for the year.
