Why this year is our year.

Brad Johnson is back. I know he is only playing as a backup quarterback, but we tend to have great years with him as a back up. Maybe he is a good luck charm. I don't know, I try not to question it as it might make the luck turn sour. We have two great quarterbacks, would have had 3 great running backs (whizzinator gig), a secondary that is shaping up to be one of the best in the leauge, a defensive line that is good and will only get better throughout the year, and finally linebackers that might be able to tell the differance between a run and passing play.

Good Points for the Vikes:

Quarterback
Running Back
Tight Ends
Secondary
D-Line
Linebackers
Chemistry? We will see how much of a negitive impact Randy had on the team. (I doubt he was a negitive influence at all)

Needs Work:

Special Teams - A kicker would be nice, we will see how the Bears transplant does on fake grass
Offensive Line - While not the worst group in the NFL, they were riddled by injuries last year, taking time away from Dante
Offensive Co-ordinator - He's new. Enough said. We will see if he know how to press the accelerator
Defensive Co-ordinator - he is still unproven, yet to make a positive impression on the fans. But last year he didn't have a lot of good ingrediants.
Head Coach - Was it Tice's fault the Vikes decide not to play the last halfs of the seasons? We will see.

Predictions for the year: 12-4, Division Champs, Possibly Super Bowl (depending on the offense)
