Will the Vikings get to 5 wins?
Niles the Negative:
Five wins? You must be out of your dang mind. Didn’t you watch them Monday night? This team will be lucky to win one more game this season, let alone three. I looked at their schedule and I’ll be darned if I can find even two more games that they have a shot in. They sure as heck ain’t gonna beat the Bears or Lions. Ditto Atlanta, New Orleans and Oakland. Maybe if they catch a couple breaks they can beat Washington or Denver but I wouldn’t bet money on either of those. If you really want to be optimistic, they’ve got two more wins in them this season. But anyone who thinks they can get to five is drinking crazy juice. With our secondary and offensive line and those joke receivers? And Leslie Frazier who couldn’t coach a pee wee team to a victory over a bunch of lawn chairs? Don’t make me laugh. The only thing we have to root for is Jared Allen breaking the sack record. And to make matters worse we have to watch the Packers win the Super Bowl again! Why I don’t take down my shotgun and blow my brains out is beyond me.
Olof the Optimist
We have two wins and so we only need 3 more wins to get to 5? Easy. Raiders, Broncos and Redskins. Everyone knows that division games are tougher to win. Why? The same reason that I can wrestle my older brother Ontar and win. I know all of his little idiosyncrasies. I know what he does and when he is going to do before he knows he’s going to do it. So I don’t think the Vikings are as bad as last week’s loss to the Pack. The Raiders are not a consistent football team. You never know which Raaaaaider team is going to show up. The Vikings have the same multiple personality disorder as the Raiders. So it could happen. Last time I looked Tebow is awful. Denver runs a college offense in the National Football League. The Vikings defense is as bad as Sandusky’s but I still like their chances against a college team. Chalk that up as a vic. And we just know we are going to beat the Redskins. That team has more injuries than any team in the league. They don’t have a legit RB and they don’t have a NFL QB. That is a win. Plus two more division games? Anything could happen there. So 5 wins? We’ll get there.
