PIECES ARE IN PLACE!!
So, Its Better to have loved than lost than not at all is a good sentimental way to look at the heartbreak of the 2009-2010 NFL season for the Vikings. Now, I've turned the book to the next chapter and am ready to see Brett Return and The Vikings Organization to have another great season. So What if were the worst playoff team in NFL history, [can be argued] we still have some of the best players in the NFL and it's fun to watch every game regardless of the emergence of a creeping turbulence of negativity come playoff time. I know, in the 2008-2009 Season when The Vikings Faced the Eagles with T-Jack. Every Time T-Jack dropped or squatted back [he gets so low for such a small guy] that my subconscious was screaming don't throw it away! Or, Better Yet, Don't Pass, hand The ball off to AP! We All remember Brian Westbrook's 71 yard run in the 4th quarter, from a dump pass from McNabb , that put the dagger in our [explosive]offense back then. As well, as T-Jacks Fatal mistake in the 1st half when Asante Samuel took it to the house after a forced sideline route pass that he picked off. Want To relive these special moments.....

Well, Here's The Vikings 2010-2011 Schedule: Red=Loss Blue=win 9/09 Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints 9/19 Miami Dolphins @ Minnesota Vikings 9/26 Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings 10/11 Minnesota Vikings @ New York Jets 10/17 Dallas Cowboys @ Minnesota Vikings 10/24 Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers 10/31 Minnesota Vikings @ New England Patriots 11/7 Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings 11/14 Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears 11/21 Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings 11/28 Minnesota Vikings@ Washington Redskins 12/05 Buffalo Bills @ Minnesota Vikings 12/12 New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings 12/20 Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings 12.26 Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles 1/2/2011 Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions Yes, These Are Crude Predictions: Vikings Beat Packers 2 times, best the Eagles, Giants, and the Saints in The Thunder Dome. Well, We will Make It To The Superbowl If The Vikings...... 1. AP Holds on to the ball, and doesn't fumble in big game situations[near the goal line] And Produces over 1,000 yards rushing, and gives aid to the silverfox. 2. BRETT FAVRE RETURNS : Expected Arrival date: AUG.15, when Vikings leave for the first pre-season game vs The Buffalo Bills. Or August 9, when Vikings Training Camp Breaks.And Granting that he puts up 300 yard games with no interceptions [only 8 the whole 2009-2010 season] we'll be fine. 3. If Winfield Stays Injury Free and is a shut -down corner. Let's face it, Cedric Griffin can stop the ball on the ground , but in the air he's vulnerable, he's only 6 feet tall and 203 pounds. 4. If EJ Henderson Stays Injury Free and Chad and him rip up the run. 5. If the William brothers have another pro bowl season. Stop trying to lose weight and concentrate on football!!A "Weight loss duretic"! C'mon, shedding a few pounds is for the off-season, or better yet retirement!! 6. If Brad Childress [chile] and Brett Favre [ silverfox, gunslinger] agree upon who does the play calling. The quarterback and coach always need to be on level ground if the season is going to result in a a trip to Arlington, Texas[Superbowl site this year]. If The leaders of the team show indifference toward each other, the whole positive team vibe falls apart. In Dire Situations when the stakes are high we need to know who's calling the plays ; not only so we know who to blame for the crushing defeat[ LOL], but for the order and execution on the field. 7. We Don't give up the big play.In 2009 We were ranked 19th in defending the pass, as well as: 5th in total offense, 2nd in run defense, 8th in passing offense, and 1st in game winning drives [Not A REAL Stat]. 8. If Madieu Williams and Winfield hold down our backfield and our linebackers learn how to cover! Greenway had numerous opportunities to intercept the ball in big-game situations[including overtime in the Saints Winning drive] and he kept on letting it slip out!! 9, If Brett Favre doesn't follow a perfect season with a gunslinger off- the-wall season with tons of interceptions. Adding, we must get Brett To Have A Shot At the Superbowl again. Here's The 2009 Team Stats:

AP Vikings Captain |
So This Season Our Keys to Victory, is for Brett To stay healthy and productive, number one. An Secondly,k Have AP not fumble in crucial situations and reduce them overall. I can say that Brett Favre will suit up in Vikings purple and gold come this 2010-2011 season, because reports are that his wife, deana, renewed her lifetime fitness membership for another year in Minnesota.
