Predictions for Vikings Season.

Recommended Posts

AP, Percy, Allen, K-Williams, Winfield, Greenway, they are the great players on our team, then we have some solid guys, and then we have some that are absolutely junk.

I didn't agree with running that wildcat twice in a row, not in that situation of the game.

I've always said I think we have the worst covering LB's in the league,they can't cover. Our safeties are pretty bad also. We'll get shredded in the pass game this year I can't believe we are going with the safeties we have out there.

Only week 1 though, no one had us winning this one anyway, we could of won it, we should of easily won it actually.

AP is overpaid!

The contract he signed is absurd.

Not at all worth that kind of money.

With McJunk at QB the Vikes are doomed.

The offense was uninspired and very bland and boring.

I agree with you James, but atleast he did take a pay cut to stay where he wants to, a solid football team - I give him props for that. That's something that doesn't happen in the NFL very often.

AP will rush for 2,000+ this year.

I think the way the offense is, AP should have a good year. I just hope that they do not over use AP.

He will rush for 2,000 yards but McNuggets will throw for 2,000 and 15 TDs and we go 6-10 ...

Get a top 6 pick though

It's Possible to be 4-1 after the 1st 5 weeks though!! I'm a optimist, and say we Beat the Bucs, get an ugly win against the Lions at home, kill KC at KC and then anither meatgrinding win against the cards....Anyone else see this?

Id like to know why people think he'll rush for 2K?

I think someone has been listening to too much Paul Allen.

I've never once said he'll rush for 2K...that being said, would it suprise you if he did...and why?

We will know alot more after today. But if they come out with a W today i dont think what you said is to unrealistic.

McChunky probably has 5 weeks at best of keeping the seat warm before the fans have seen enough a demand the start of the Ponder era.

Yes, because he's never been close.

And with that said, the burden of proof is on those who believe he'll hit 2K.

I'll ask again, why? What has changed that would cause him to rush for 550 yards more than his season average to hit 2K?

I'm not saying he will rush for 2000...

but you asked for a reason. We don't have a gun slinger quarterback this year, which means more runs are likely. So it could lead to more yardage.

Where do I cash in my bet that the Vikings pee it away in the second half...mark my words this won't be the last time it happens. Keep on losing fellas, then we can get Luck.

Go figure, Washington is 2-0 now with out mcjunk and we are 0-2 with him....

Why do we keep recycling garbage instead of getting our own guys ready to play?

So...anybody still want to stand by their predictions that the Vikings will win ten or more games this season?

My optimistic prediction that they might win seven was indeed too optimistic.

They certainly are in the race to win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes.

I think that is the plan, has to be, no other explanation for giving it to Gerhart on 4th and 1 crazy

Uhhh, what? Half of those non-conference games are against 2010 playoff teams. In fact, I think that the Vikings will be lucky to start any better than 0-4. They can't beat San Diego. The Bucs and the Chiefs were playoff teams last year and are both on the rise. The Lions are a team on the rise as well but have much better talent than the Vikings at this point. Those are four hard games for a team with new leaders at almost every offensive position (except AP) to win.

First win of the season might be against the Cardinals in Week 5 but both teams will have a 50/50 shot at winning. Just being a realist. Now, my gut tells me that the Vikings will get a win before going 0-4 but there's no logic that one could use to back up that statement.

....and all of you purple drinkers that LAUGHED at me for musing that the Vikings could go 0-4. It's called realism! The Vikings WILL be a good team towards the end of this season, but with all of the new staff and schemes they are certainly working out all of the bugs. However, I'll be happy to wrong about the 0-4 start because the Vikings should beat a Jamaal Charles-less Chiefs this coming weekend.

Looking at the Vikings schedule and I see maybe 4 games they can win. They may get lucky and scratch out 5 wins this year but I'm thinking 3-13. Ugh.

I think that it's worth looking at potential. The Vikings have a good team and whether it's with McNabb or Ponder, they are likely going to put up some points. The team needs to find its identity to start playing complete games. That's why I don't think that all is lost. I still think that the Vikings will end up with 6 wins but they'll be towards the end of the season.

However, history is not on their side:

Quote:
ESPNIn Week 1, the Minnesota Vikings led 17-7 at halftime and lost 24-17 to the San Diego Chargers.

In Week 2, the Vikings' 17-0 halftime lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vanished on the way to a 24-20 defeat.

And Sunday, they watched as a 20-0 lead over the Detroit Lions evaporated into a 26-23 overtime loss.

Those turns of event have dropped the Vikings into their own special niche of NFL history. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, they are the fifth team ever to start a season 0-3 when leading at halftime in each game.

The chart identifies the other teams and illustrates how their season ended.

BAD START

Year____Team________________Final Record

1998____Chicago Bears_______4-12

1987____Detroit Lions_______4-11

1970____New York Giants_____9-5

1931____Chicago Cardinals___5-4

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
