I forget which coach said: The developmental curve - you are blown out of games, you have first learn to play with those teams (lose close ones), then you learn how to win those close ones, finally you learn to blow teams out. Vikings remind me of that with Road games. 3 of our losses came against top 10 teams on the road. All within 1 score. A couple of plays in each game and we had/have a chance to pull it out. I'm much more optimistic about this team, the only game we haven't shown any fight was the Chicago game. To fight back on the road after probably the worst 4 drive (Fumble, TD, INT, TD) sequence I've seen was something else. The noise at Clink was as loud as any NFL game I've ever been to. At the same time, there would be nothing more Viking than to have a 90% chance of making the playoffs with 5 games to play and finding a way to exit ourselves out of the playoffs.
