Man, the NFL is a tough, long season...Vikings Post Bye Schedule
Hey, we're not an easy out if we stay healthy, and it's a long season. But check this out after the bye - and that murderers row (TG thru Xmas):
@ Washington (11/12)
Rams (11/19)
@ Detroit (11/23 - 4 days rest!)
@ Atlanta (12/3)
@ Carolina (12/10)
Bengals (12/17)
@ GB (12/23 Saturday, Rogers return game)
Bears (12/31)
Deep breath, one week at a time.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Nothing even resembling an easy game left on the schedule.
The Bears D is playing well right now, and Trubisky should have a better grip on the QB position. Green Bay will be looking for revenge.

Truth
Looks like a damn 1st place schedule, not a team that went 8/8...One thing that holds true, its not who you play but when you play em.
Now is the time to be playing ATL and DET...Oh and GB.
Schedule difficulty changes week by week, we get better play from the QB and we can win any of those games. We get the inconsistent throw's and poor decisions that we've seen and it could get ugly.
We are going to need Teddy or Sam healthy and playing to make those winnable....or a lot better play from Case.
Who knows what any of those teams will actually look like a month from now...one at a time...
@"BarrNone55" said: Who knows what any of those teams will actually look like a month from now...one at a time...Agreed. But that includes Minnesota. The NFL is so crazy and unpredictable. One game at a time is right.

Agree. Right now that looks like a tough haul, but it's a different picture with Teddy or Sam.
Man it would be nice if this team caught fire in December, kicked some serious asz and made a deep playoff run...

Wont believe that until they actually ice him.

Only way he comes back is if they areally able to win some games without him and they are still in contention.
As others have said, it depends on the consistency of our performance - and that will be true Sunday, against Baltimore, another team no one should underestimate. Play like we did against the Packers and we'll win; play like we did against the Lions, though...
My gripe/concern about our team has always been their unpredictability, which is a coaching issue, and it's going to be tested. Keep them hungry and driven, Zimmer.
BTW, why are we playing on Thanksgiving day two years in a row?

Disagree. Have 2 TOs that take points off the Board for Minnesota and helps put points on the Board for Baltimore will probably equal a loss. Have to play cleaner and also not expect so many fortuitous Pass Interference calls.

Probably right. (I was trying out my "glass half full" mask, no more of that!!) Ravens team does worry me, and I think a lot of people are writing off Flacco because of his bad early-season stats - but he is the type who could hang 300 yards and 4 TDs on any team unpredictably.
