Because if the Vikings can win out and the Bears lose one game besides the last, the Vikings take the division.

But let's wait to see what this weekend brings.

I think the Bears can beat the Rams. The game is in Chicago where the Bores have been straight up murdering people. Their only loss at home is to the Patriots, which they almost won. I haven't been that impressed with the Rams lately. Their defense is giving up a ton of points.

And if anyone thinks the Vikings can or will win out the rest of the way, even if it seems remotely possible, I have to question their sanity at this point. I mean which alternate reality Vikings have you been watching lately? Because the one I've been watching has been straight up garbage more times than not, and at best they're inconsistent. At no point this season have they shown any signs of getting their sh*t together, but I'm expected to believe they'll suddenly do it now, in these final 4 games, and into the playoffs? (roflmao)

Just think of how many planets have to align to make that happen. JDF, Cousins, Zimmer, and the 4 No-Shows all suddenly getting their crap together at the same time?

Well, I have been a Vikings fan for 52 years so, this is already pretty been proven. *ridebabyride*

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you are not capable of great violence, you are not peaceful, you are harmless.

I would love for us to go white hot
and win a ring ....

But honestly this team overall has some
weak spots and we have not stayed healthy in the secondary.

If I were Rick and company fire Prefier
(Special teams coach) build depth on
OL , upgrade in a few areas LB , SS

Maybe bring in a blocking specialist and
run power Ball to Finish games. Convert
a DT or OT for this. a 300 pound guy with
hand skills and feet.

Some are just more delusional than others lol. What team have you guys been watching? Are you new to this franchise? The season isn't over because the Vikings aren't done disappointing us yet. No no no, they'll get our hopes up one more time before they do that. They'll squeak into the playoffs, with some help, and THEN the season will be over. The only thing that's unknown at this point is whether our 1-and-done will come via heartbreak, or another 41-donut. It could go either way. And what's worse is it'll happen at Dallas or at Chicago. Right now the Bears hold the 3 seed by a game over the Cowboys, but the Cowboys appear to have an easier schedule the rest of the way, so won't that be fun? Getting shutout by the Cowboys in the playoffs?

Brutal! But I can't argue any of this. May very well happen. I'll tell you, those two teams will be tough outs with their pass rush, defense , running attack and ability to make you cover the entire field against their passing attack. I expect one if not both to spring a big upset in the playoffs and want no part of either.

SS is one spot the Vikings don't really need to worry about. Just try to get Anthony Harris back on a new deal or roll with Sendejo - that's a spot that if the Vikings shouldn't be spending excess money on. The safeties have been good, no reason to mess with them.

The last time the Vikings had a guy who moved from DL to OL (in college), it was T. J. Clemmings... it takes several years to learn how to play O-line and slapping somebody like Sheldon Richardson on the O-line simply wouldn't work.

I can't say it enough, Diggs is the most important player on this team. When he is 100% the whole offense more often than not looks like a juggernaut. When he is well under 100% (or out) the offense is screwed. Theilen is awesome, and one of the best 20 WR in the NFL in terms of skill set etc, but he can't do it all on his own. When defenses are allowed to not worry about Diggs (double team/scheme against him) then Theilen becomes limited and we frankly don't have any other real receiving options. Cook out of the backfield is ok, Rudolph sucks and Treadwell is the worst. Robinson has been ok but he is closer to a #4 than a #2 for sure.

If they can keep Diggs 100% the Vikings can beat anybody in the league.
