If we can win our last 6 games I can finally drink my Before I Die beer and light off the mother of all purple fireworks…assuming it still lights lol. 

Didn’t really think our window would open until 25 or more likely 26 but here we are. 

We need to rattle off 6 straight wins. 3 home, 2 away, one neutral.

How many absolute eggs have the Vikings laid in Primetime over the years?

And yet, with KO and this team I believe. I never would have guessed I'd be here before the season but this team keeps doing it. And not with smoke and mirrors. With good football.

MIN -7 felt like a slam dunk all week and it was.

We are here. 6 more! Skol my dudes!!

I can only imagine how sweet the taste of that 45 year old can of Hamms will be....

No doubt we’ll be dogs against some teams coming up.

Seattle may be without Geno but it’s on short rest
Green Bay is probably the hardest regular season game left and it’s at home
Detroit ids playing practice squad guys all over on D. If we don’t win we don’t deserve the #1

The week of rest is what we’re after. Then we’ll see what happens. We only have to play one of Mahomes, Allen and Jackson after we stomp the shit out of those smug Philly bastards.

I think it's doable, but that might be purple kool-aid...and it's also because it feels like KOC hasn't shown all our cards this season. We've shown more aggression early, then kinda throttled back for awhile; it seems like the coach is happy to keep some plays or some gameplans in his pocket for the postseason.

I can't point to anything in particular, but that's how it feels to me.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

Possible cope but yep, me too. I get frustrated when we underuse TJ or sputter out in the redzone, but then I see KO bust out these thing of beauty catch and run plays on 3rd and long where we wind up a couple yards beyond the sticks and I'm reminded he's got a lot in his bag.

Also a small thing, but Mundt, Ham and Nailor have been seeing even fewer targets lately... good. Addison has come alive and the run game has looked better lately as well. I do believe KO is dialing the offense in.

Vikings win out the season and become the # 1 seed I would give them a 35-40% chance to make the superbowl. If Lions or Eagles are the #1 seed I would give us less the 10% chance. Totallty made up but Im standing by it

As a fan for too long, I can only absorb week to week...

ITs already been a win for me this season as my expectations were soooo low this year.

I dont feel a SB run is about to unfold cause I think this team is too finesse. But lets go to the games and find out.

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

Winning the of the rest of the regular season games and getting the #1 overall seed and bye would certainly help.

Seattle is playing for their division
Green Bay is playing for at least a Wildcard
Detroit is playing for the Division

Regular season games aren't sudden death like the playoffs, I get it.

But every game has significant playoff ramifications.

So in that way, the vikings playoff march literally starts this week in Seattle.

Thats about where i see it.  Our only realistic shot is with home field,  maybe that home crowd can neutralize a bit of the opposing teams offensive advantages,  I think our o has the weapons,   the question is and always will be do we have the IOL.

If we have to go on the road,  i see a team that will fight hard,  but not likely be able to overcome the playoff crowds and pressure.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Not only the home field advantage but the bye which gives you one bonus win, (technically) easier opponents, time to prepare for the rest of the playoffs and a few days off for recuperation.  That #1 seed is huge
