"The Vikings are 8–2 in their last 10, and six of those wins have come by double digits. Which is my fancy way of saying that everything I thought they’d be in 2018—as complete a team as there was in the league, and the eventual world champ—they might become over the next few months."

A lot of us saw this coming. Vikings could very well have the NFC's best team, but because it's so top heavy, finish as the last place seed. Never easy for the Vikings.

They could have 12 wins and be a wild-card. 

Crazy and maddening all at the same time.

There seems to always be a team backing into the wildcard.  This year every team will be strong on the NFC side.  Even the cowpokes looked good yesterday.

Cowboys
Seahawks
Saints
Packers

Hmmm...I'd have to say @ GB would be my choice. Not sure I'd want to play in Dallas again, dont like many of those match-up's. 

Wilson is 6/0 vs Vikings and Saints are a real tough out at home

Just like our regular season schedule being one of the toughest in the NFL, so will our path be to the Super Bowl. Running the NFC gauntlet so we can take on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens would require an epic performance of heart and determination.

Agreed. But since they are in position to do it, they just as well finish it off.

Our offense is good enough to win it all, but the two factors that will be the most challenging to overcome are our defense and the likelihood of having to win 3 road playoff games.  Amazing, the difference between only having to win two games with at least one at home to make the Super Bowl is going to come down to winning that KC game that we gave away.

didnt Culpepper and moss kick their cheesey ass in a playoff game in snow in 2005? with  a beautiful mooning of Packers fans by Moss? Tice as HC? fuck the packers, i would have no fear playing them again in GB. I say that thinking we will kick their ass this Monday night. If we dont do that, please delete this message!

We have one thing in our favor when we hit the playoffs.  We will almost certainly be underdogs and the Vikes always play better as underdogs.

The Packers are not the problem. It's the zebras.  If the Packers had been robbed the way the Bears got robbed on the punt/fumble/Chicago recovery, there would be a federal investigation followed by NFL rule changes. The Packers don't beat anyone. It takes a complete "team" effort.

We're a .500 road team that will likely need 3 straight road wins to make it to the SB.  Not seeing it.
