Shit done about to get real...


Kirk Cousins:  "At Michigan State, coach Mark D'Antonio would emphasize, 'November is for contenders and October is for pretenders,' implying that to really be in the hunt for the Big Ten title, you have to win your November games when the real teams start playing for something.
"In the NFL, it's more mid-November and December. That's when the picture starts to clarify and storyline carries more weight. I've had that experience in college and we understand that now."

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

We should have, at most, one more loss the rest of the way.  The only "acceptable" loss is NE on the road; and that game should be a toss-up. Frankly, I think we should win that game. Any more than one loss and we should realistically conclude that this team is just not that good.
Bears (twice); Lions; Packers; Seahawks; Dolphins; and Patriots.
One caveat: if the last game against Chicago is completely meaningless to the Vikings and we rest everyone, then a loss would be ... whatever.
