If they can go .500 the next 4 games?

That’s what we're staring down by Turkey Day.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Yeah, I think so. We aren't going 17-0, but we need to see the offense step up. 8-2 would be pretty, pretty good.

I think the board will self combust after the first loss.

We'll definitely see some long lost posters that only hang around on gamedays!

I had us losing to the Bills and Niners anyways. As Sticky said, we can't go 17-0

Why not?

I'd be good with 8-2 at Thanksgiving but until some team "figures out" our defense and shows everyone else how it can be beat, I like our chances in every game.

I would be if our offense looked above average and the two losses were close. Frankly, if the offense stays in its current form, we'll make the playoffs with likely 12+ wins, but be one and done in the playoffs. It would be a huge let down.

I agree. If I could magically wish a new QB for the Vikes, I would choose Josh Allen. We could win all 4 if we had a QB of his talent.

I can't ever accept a loss, but being 8-2 would put us in a great place. I would be happy with that.

Don't really care what the record is as much I just need the offense to figure its stuff out at some point this season

Based on the opponents and our QB play, I would say 2-2 would be the likely best possible outcome. All things considered, winning one of those 4 and being at 7-3 would still be much better than expected.

8-2 would be awesome. Id take 6-4 if the offense put up 24+ a game, because once that stretch is over, if the offense is clicking, 13-4, 12-5 would be realistic.
