he has not said anything yet...its all rumors
and last year he did the same thing...."retire"...only to come back
Well, he's supposedly texted his friends on the team and told them that he's done ...
Maybe the friends are going along with the prank ?
Or maybe he's done ..... no REALLY .... ya right .....
Chances are he talks to the players and comes in on the White Horse in the last week of training camp.
Or if the Vikes get off to a slow start, 1-3 say, he gets a call and comes back.
Vikes open with:
New Orleans
Miami
Detroit
then a BYE week (seems awful EARLY for a Bye week.)
NY Jets
Dallas
Here's a speculation.
IF the Vikes are 1-2 going into the bye week, he comes back in time to play the Jets and Cowboys.
Hope my Eagles can win 9 because I was out in Vegas about 3 weeks ago and put a rather large chunk of cash on them. The line was 8.5.
With the latest injuries, I revise my prediction to 7 or 8 wins....training camp has been a nightmare!
From what I hear, this is one of the main reason the league wants to go to 18 regular season games and 2 less preseason games.
Yup, 2 more games that count, that ought to make the injuries go down.
Now when they happen "They Count"
The
is for the idea that the NFL is deciding on, not your comment.
Here are my predictions for the upcoming NFL season. I'll be giving each team's strength, weakness, and predicted record.
AFC East
1. NY Jets
Strength- Ground and pound. Running and defense.
Weakness- Tough schedule and whether Sanchez can become a big-time, big-game, big-play quarterback.
Prediction- 12-4
2. New England
Strength- passing. Brady, Moss, Welker- nuff said.
Weakness- a pass defense that looked leaky at times (see the New Orleans and Indy games) and lacking a clear-cut #1 RB that they haven't had since Corey Dillion.
Prediction- 10-6
3. Miami
Strength- Playmakers on offense- Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, Brandon Marshall.
Weakness- Defense- can they get big stops? Is Karlos Dansby the right guy?
Prediction- 9-7
4. Buffalo
Strength- A surplus of running backs.
Weakness- Everything else. Weak-armed wimp passers, no wideouts besides Lee Evans, a godawful run defense.
Prediction- 1-15
AFC North
1. Baltimore
Strength- A quality QB in Flacco, a stud RB in Ray Rice.
Weakness- Tough schedule and whether their defensive stars might be aging
Prediction- 11-5
2. Cincinnati
Strength- Cedric Benson proved himself in Cincy stripes, and their defense surprised a lot of people
Weakness- The passing game, which was a crutch last year. Will TO make things better?
Prediction- 10-6
3. Pittsburgh
Strength- Offensive playmakers in Mendenhall and Mike Wallace
Weakness- The QB conundrum, as well as a defense that melted down in crunch time.
Prediction- 9-7
4. Cleveland
Strength- Josh Cribbs is a playmaker that can make magic
Weakness- Who is going to be the QB? Delhomme, Wallace, Colt McCoy?
Prediction- 7-9
AFC South
1. Indianapolis
Strength- Peyton Manning, leader of a still-elite pass attack
Weakness- Running game. Can Addai and Donald Brown move the chains?
Prediction- 11-5
2. Houston
Strength- Passing game. Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson are a lethal duo
Weakness- An inconsistent rushing attack and a tough schedule
Prediction- 10-6
3. Tennessee
Strength- Chris Johnson is a beast of a back, and Vince Young is a winner
Weakness- Aside from Johnson, who will catch Young's passes?
Prediction- 9-7
4. Jacksonville
Strength- Maurice Jones-Drew, one of the NFL's best backs.
Weakness- An unreliable passing game.
Prediction- 6-10
AFC West
1. San Diego
Strength- Philip Rivers is a stud passer, and the Bolts have mucho talent
Weakness- Running game, as well as a lack of killer instinct in January
Prediction- 12-4
2. Kansas City
Strength- JaMaal Charles is a hell of a running back
Weakness- Can Matt Cassel prove to be the right man at QB in KC?
Prediction- 9-7
3. Oakland
Strength- The talented cornerback with a hard-to-pronounce name, and a QB upgrade in Jason Campbell
Weakness- Wide Recievers. Now that JaMarcus Russell is gone, can they produce?
Prediction- 8-8
4. Denver
Strength- They can run the ball and they have nice guys with great attitudes.
Weakness- A QB conundrum and no offensive playmakers. Without Cutler and Marshall, they'll have trouble scoring
Prediction- 5-11
NFC East
1. Dallas
Strength- Talent across the board- QB, RB, WR, Linebacker
Weakness- Can they win big games in January? Last year, they took a step in the right direction. Can they take another?
Prediction- 12-4
2. Washington
Strength- McNabb and Mike Shanahan give them a sense of stability
Weakness- A lack of playmakers. Who will catch McNabb's throws?
Prediction- 9-7
3. NY Giants
Strength- Eli Manning and Bradshaw/Jacobs lead a good attack that won a Super Bowl. They still know how to win.
Weakness- The defense collapsed last year. Also, with the exception of Dallas (and possibly Atlanta), they beat the creampuffs, but faltered against the big boy teams. They beat the big boys in 2007 and 2008- they must go back to that.
Prediction- 9-7
4. Philadelphia
Strength- A dynamic playmaker duo in DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin.
Weakness- An unproven QB at Kolb. Can he find the chemistry with his offense that McNabb had?
Prediction- 8-8

Strength- A lethal passing attack led by Aaron Rodgers
Weakness- One of the NFL's tougher schedules (AFC and NFC East)
Prediction- 12-4
2. Minnesota
Strength- Talent at most of their positions
Weakness- QB. If Favre doesn't come back, can the Vikes go deep with Tavaris Jackson/Sage Rosenfels?
Prediction- 11-5 if Favre comes back, 10-6 if he doesn't
3. Chicago
Strength- Their defense is still decent- they will improve if Urlacher's healthy
Weakness- Cutler has to do a better job avoiding turnovers
Prediction- 8-8
4. Detroit
Strength- They have some talent in Stafford, Calvin Johnson, and the newcomer on defense- Suh- will help them
Weakness- They have a culture of losing that's lasted for long time that they must overcome.
Prediction- 6-10
NFC South
1. New Orleans
Strength- Awesome firepower, Drew Brees is a superstar, and an opportunistic defense
Weakness- Can they repeat? The last five Super Bowl champs have failed to even make their conference title game
Prediction- 11-5

Strength- Matt Ryan and Michael Turner make for a great duo
Weakness- A defense that must improve.
Prediction- 10-6

and THIS boys and girls is why you shouldn't do drugs.
I've seen some of your predictions before and you must use the weatherman theory that once in a blue while you **might** be right...well this aint one of them
You must be predicting how many wins the Wolfies will get this year. If Farve doesn't come back there is no way in blue hell that we will get 10 wins...no way. Tavarius sucks and Sage is no better.
Farve plays? 12-4
Farve retires? 7-9 TOPS... probably 6-10

Favre is due. His final year he'll break his starting streak and the Vikings flounder. If the Packers can improve their defense during preseason it's their division to lose, and it'll take 11 wins to get a wildcard in the NFC.
I didnt mean it that way
They'll be the division winner with a 13-3 record
home field throughout the playoffs

IF you know who, stays healthy.
