You keep getting to the playoffs and at some point you are going to turn the corner...ask Peyton Manning. Ryan is still very young.

We'll know a lot more about the Vikings during that long stretch.  I still think the Packers can come back here.  Maybe not win the division but I could see them with a wild card.

Vikings are the Real Deal

We're 4-1
Manhandled one of the best team in the NFL, the 49ers, in all phases of the game
Beat a playoff team on the road in the Lions

Next 3 Games:
@Redskins (RG3 Hurt- May or may not play)
vs. Cardinals (Have dived back to reality against Rams)
vs. Buccaneers (unperforming)

And with the team we have put out there week in and week out, no doubt we can steal a few wins in the 2nd half of the season

Love the optimism, but slow down a bit.  There's a long way to go.  4-1 is certainly a nice start, but no awards are handed out the first week of October that I'm aware of. 

There are some tough games on that schedule, but I could see 9-7 as a realistic possibility.  May be enough to challenge for a wild card, or better.

At least I admitted I was drinking the kool-aid. 

The Vikings aren't 15-1 good.  They are going to lose a game or two that they shouldn't lose.  They are going to win a game or two they shouldn't win (49ers?).  That's the way football goes.
