So what can we expect from the upcoming season?

Tougher schedule than last year. Rookie mistakes at QB. Wild card best possible scenario IMO. Hopefully 9-7, could slip to 7-9.
This sucks!

We heard the tough schedule argument last year. Opening up with Philadelphia, Giants, San Diego, At Minnesota. Yikes! Hope we can win 1 of those games. Remember that?

Last season was a tough schedule and turned kinda vanilla. Could be the same this season but I don't see it. Philly and at Minny were hard fought games where Packers prevailed. Giants and Boltz were topsy turvy - both got much, much stronger later on.

This season is a killer schedule. Anywhere between 6-10 and 11-5 is possible.

Gotta go with 10-6 and a wild card berth. I think the Vikes (unless TJack implodes which is certainly possible) with their running game and defense go 11-5 and split with the Packers during the regular season.

If we make the playoffs and win a game I'll call this season a success. Anything less is a step backwards and I'll wonder would we have done better or worse with Brett.
