Pretty crazy and they havent all been pretty, thats for sure. Thats probably too much to expect in the NFL. 

Honestly, I was more excited about this years squad earlier in the year than I might be now (and now their 8 and friggin 2!)

There are just enough things about the team that give me pause about their being able to go toe:toe with some of the heavy weights in the conference and even the division. 

Is this a team that can beat GB or ATL at home? Sea on the road? Win at Chicago???  We'll see...I gotta keep reminding myself I didnt have high expectations this year - and they have for most weeks entertained me. 

Lots of NFL fans would kill to have their team 8/2 right now.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

This is why its been so important to stack wins now, because .500 or just over for the remainder is going to get Minnesota a great record. But probably one of the best #5 seeds record-wise in recent NFL history because I don't think they catch Detroit.

I dont think so either....

But it would sure be a pretty amazing season/record if that last game at Detroit would be for the Division Title.

Odds are they wont catch Detroit, but not out of the question either.
If the Vikings can get past the Bears on the road, the rest of their tough games will be at home except the final game at Detroit.
Detroit still has games against Green Bay, Buffalo, Niners, and Vikings.

Nobody predicted that.  Nobody.

The Lions are playing at a high level for sure. But there’s a lot of ball yet to be played. As we well know, Goff could drop back to pass, plant, & then blow his achilles. You just never know… :cool: :angel:
