I know it's still early with several unknowns going into the season, but folks are already making their predictions. Do you have one/any? As for me, I'll wait till after the preseason games. 😎

Justin Jefferson leads the league in receiving yards.

Kyler finishes as a top 5 QB in fantasy PPG

JJ McCarthy starts at least one game for the Vikings and we win.

Dallas Turner finishes top 5 in pressures and top 10 in sacks.

Jordan Mason gets his first 1000 yard rushing season.

If Kyler plays extremely well in Week 1 against Green Bay, I’m going to be a little hard to keep down I think. Especially if he applies some kind of roundhouse nut punch kick to the soul of the Packers at the end of the game for the win. He will have won my heart.💜

I’m gonna take it game by game, week by week.

This is a 10 win team as the floor, That gets us into the playoffs.

That’s a high floor but the depth in the QB room makes it possible. My biggest concern is IDL holding up against the run while our 2 new fatties develop. We also lost Hitman, but Jamal Adams keeps that from being a huge drop off.

I predict the Vikings will be on the precipice of winning the Super Bowl and the A1C467BX comet will hit the earth. The score at the time of comet strike - Denver 21 Vikings 20 with Reichert lining up for the game winning kick.

Kyler Plays the first 9ish games and looks pretty good and then gets injured. JJM plays the next 6 games and looks pretty good but had some clutch wins. Both QBs have been riding the defense and Banks has 8 sacks and has been a force.

Now we’re at week 17 and Kyler is healthy enough to come back and we need to make a decision on who is going to play week 17 and take us into the playoffs. Controversy abounds. Do you want the guy that’s been clutch, and has won at every level? Do you want the #1 pick who has a Heisman but …?

If I know anything drama will follow KOC’s Vikings.

Man, if the Vikings somehow win the SB that would be something.

IDL and IOL will be most improved units.

The difference between Banks/Orange vs. Hargrave/Allen will be apparent Week 1

Vikings will win at least 3? ,low scoring, defensive games because Reichart is cold blooded.

Harry returns and with Adams and Mettelus we'll all see what QB brain lock looks like.

Teasley has evaluated the roster With 22 mil in cap and some draft draft capital he'll sit, wait,, lurk and watch from cutdown day thru trade deadline.

I predict Max Brosmer is QB3! Can't have injury prone Wentz as QB3 given that QB1 and QB2 also have significant injury history.

I predict Max Brosmer will be the first Gopher QB to throw a TD in preseason! Go Gophers! LOL

I predict Sticky posts 8 pancake blocks by Bredeson in his first 10 games.

I predict that Chris Mathews comes out of retirement to report that "Will the thrill" really does thrill his leg!

I predict K1 throws for 3 TD's and scores a TD in the opener against the packers!

I predict that JIT will be 2IT on 10 posts this season!

I predict that the mods will be so happy with the wonderful, team building camaraderie found on this forum that they offer a beer bash at the last home game!

I predict our mods will win an award for the best moderating in NFL history!

JJ McCarthy traded after preseason week 2. Team throws 100% of support with no leash or distractions behind Kyler Murray.

Things start rough with an 0-2 to start the season, but Kyler gets rolling and gets to 4-4 after 8 games. Vikings go to Green Bay and Kyler suffers a season ending leg injury

We ride the Wentz train to a 7-10 record.

KOC gets a pass due to the injuries at the QB position.

We re-sign Kyler to a 3yr $65 million contract because he can’t stay healthy and no one wants him.

We are in draft pick purgatory with our record and we take a developmental QB in the 3rd round because all the good QBs are gone by the time we pick in 2027.

We’re stuck back in the shitty “rent a QB” hell hole we’ve been in for 35 Years.
