Hey - that works out to 6-10 as well. I think that's a little optimistic too, but hey...hope springs eternal, right? I'd really rather see them go 1-15 and draft Andrew Luck next year than go 6-10.

I am going to give them the opertunity to pick up a few more draft picks before making a prediction. If they dont get some front line help, and some secondary help. 6-10 will be optimistic.

I'm going to be optimistic, and say the Vikings go 7-9.

Basically, the McNabb deal will be just enough to cost them a higher draft pick.

All depends on what McNabb arrives in town. 6-10 sounds about right to me though.

Very nice of the NFL to schedule our Bye week the weekend of the Deer Hunting Opener for much of the state. I wish there was a way to make that happen every year!

Whats wrong with you guys....What happend to the fans! I for sure see the vikes getting close to a 10 win season. Although it will be competitive in our own division, doesnt mean the pack, bears and kitties will blow the vikes out. We always play tough football against these teams no matter what the personal is! Plus by getting Donnie, it is obvious that we are not giving up on right now as oppose to "rebuilding" and for that reason I am not giving up as a fan either ~ Go Vikes!

On a side note, I like when everyone under estimates the teams success, that seems to always trigger a "out of no-where season" We still have a decent team.......again GO VIKEs!!!!!!V-I-K-I-N-G-S!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vegas is going with 6.5 for the over under. It's the NFL so with a couple of breaks here or there we should be able to win 7 or 8 games if not it's 5 or 6.

I'll take the over 6.5

Hey, I think I'm going to do great every time I go out fishing too. But I'm a realist and if the wife wants to know what's for dinner she should probably start thawing some hamburger!

Still got to be optomistic. When I go fishing, my plan is to catch lots and lots of fish. When I go to the casino, my plan is to win lots and lots of money, and when the vikes play, I plan on seeing them win win win! GO VIKES! I am thinking a 10-6 or 11-5 season...

Haha, so true.

I'm expecting an 8-8 / 9-7 type season with the chance to make playoffs. I wouldn't be shocked though if we won more, I'll be mad if we win any less lol.

From there anything can happen just like any team, a game breaking play or a little luck is all it takes sometimes.

The nonconference schedule is not very tough. I can see 8 wins.

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.

Don't care what the schedule says. Don't care who we play. Any team can win any Sunday. Call me a rube, tell me I am drinking too much purple kool aid. The Vikings will go at LEAST 10-6 this year. I think the defense will step it up this year and show us how they should of been last year. McNabb will do wonders with AP behind him and lead the Vikings to the playoffs.

Which NFL did u watch that the bucs were a playoff team.

Good correction. Bucs are still a good team though and 10-6 was impressive for the third place team in the strongest NFC division in 2010.

9-7/8-8,I think. The team is still talented on both sides of the ball. I refuse to think last year was anything more than an udder disaster from the start, not indicitive of the talent of the team. W@ith all the changes everyone is making this year it all a guess but we are better than we looked last year.

Division

Pack

Vikes

lions

Bears

9-7 or 10-6...will be in the hunt for the division, with only one team going to the play-offs. The division is going to be brutal, every team can knock any other team off, on any given sunday. Key injuries could decide it....Vikes are tied with G.B. so far.

Key injuries could decide it.

There is that. It takes a heckuva franchise to overcome key injuries and find success.

Best of luck to you guys this year. Well, maybe not the BEST of luck, but before the new season dawns and we get all wrapped up in the furball, just wanted to wish you well. smile

Where?

They will be lucky to win 5 maybe 6.

I'm going to say 7-9 this year.

We dont have the childress factor working against us.

Not sure what kind of offense Frasier and the boys are going to throw out there.

The defense looks decent, but no FAT PAT in the middle to clog things up.

Our reciving core could be decent, with williams, aromashedu and harvin.

Like foss said, injuries will probably decide things in the conference, but for us it will probably decide between 3rd and 4th grin

Go Vikes!

Vikes don't have any receivers named Williams, so not sure who you mean, but I think our receivers will be decent also. The catches will be spread out, so nobody will have a HUGE year.

I really expect a logjamb in the conference....7-9 to 10-6 range from bottom to top (bears or lions on bottom).

      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!

      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
