There was a guy named “Jimmy the Greek” who predicted the Vikings to get smashed by the 49ers in ‘87 and Minnesota killed San Fran only to lose at the last second to Washington in the NFC championship. Then in ‘98 I watched Dennis Green make the worst coaching decisions possible to lose that one. I’ll believe nothing till they make it to the big game….

We all know these predictions don’t matter one way or the other–the only possible way they can is if a team believes them and gets lazy, but I don’t see that as a problem with the Vikes because they haven’t even made the playoffs for a while.

And, while “Dr. Z” is no genius, he did get all his preseason picks right one year. He picked all the playoff teams correctly, the two super bowl teams, and the winner (I can’t remember what year–late 80s or early 90s). Not to overly defend him, just saying he’s no more of an idiot than any of the other prognosticators.

Is there a web site that has actual Viking football news?

Those of us who have been Vikings fans for years know that two teams want to win, but only one can win. Jeesh. If Z wants to crown’em, then crown their a**es, but we are who we think we are….or something like that.

We will crush some teams this year, but a Superbowl may be a year or two away.

I’ve watched Zygi Wilf spend $100 mil on new players this year just to give the Vikes superior offense and defense at “every” position including special teams and backups throughout. This is his year. Right on Dr. Z.

Well, it is the 10 year anniversary of the 98 team that went 15-1. Why not celebrate it with another great team, hopefully this time we will not be let down.

I think the vikings are going to be good this year. Have u taken a look at the vikings defensive line. And not to mention we have the frickin best running back.LT who. And T Jack is going to descent so he throw the ball down field to Bernard Berrien and Sidney Rice. Look out im guessing that we will be 10-6 or 11-5. GO VIKINGS
