It's so much easier writing these blogs when your team is having a good year.
The Vikings lost 6 games this season. Four of those losses were to playoff teams, Green Bay, Indy, Washington, and Seattle.
What's cool is that they also BEAT three playoff teams, Green Bay, Houston, and San Francisco.
They also played in a division that had the most wins of any division in football AND they had the toughest schedule of any team in football the month of December and still finished the month 4-1 (their only loss being that tough Green Bay game that started the month.)
What I'm trying to say through all of these stats is that the Vikings ARE as good as most of the teams in the playoffs. They may not be the best team, but neither were the Giants last season when they managed to squeak into the playoffs and then went on to slaughter top seeded Green Bay at Lambeau before going on to win the Super Bowl.
Weirder things have happened (as recently as last season.)
Maybe Green Bay fans ARE losing sleep over this week's game.
After further review, I'm thinking the Vikings DO have a chance this Saturday. The Packers were horrible when it mattered most last year. Maybe, just maybe, they will be again.
And Adrian Peterson still has a lot to prove.
