Allen expects Vikings in Super Bowl
Considering the financial investment that the Vikings made to upgrade their roster this offseason, it should come as no surprise that owner Zygi Wilf and Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen have grand expectations. Wilf, attending the team's weekend minicamp, talked about the "tremendous amount of talent" the Vikings possess and that "every position that we felt we needed to get better at, we've brought the players in." Allen, the biggest name among the newcomers, was even more direct. "We expect to go to the Super Bowl," he said.

I'll give you this Jared, your Vikings do kick **** in my Madden '08 system. But the differnce being that in Madden '08 you guys have good QB play. Not so much in real life. You should stick with production over prediction. It carries more weight. Just ask Kitna......

Minnesota's Defense should be one of the league's tops...but with T Jack leading the offense it just doesn't matter. And Childress is good for about 3 losses right off the bat because he's an idiot. I just don't see it in the cards....GO PACK GO

In June, every team expects to be in the Super Bowl. The expectations are drastically different in November and December.

Funniest thing I have heard in Minnesota in a long time. This team is going nowhere unless they get a real QB behind center, Jackson is not the answer..

Well, if the Bears can get there with Grossman, why not the Vikings?

Everyone should think that there team is good enough to go to the super bowl. You shouldn't play unless you think you can win.

They would not be the first team to get to a Superbowl with a sub par QB. The Ravens, TB and the Bears proved that.

It don't cost nothing to dream, does it? As long as you don't forget it's just a dream. If you do forget, don't worry! You'll wake up soon enough!

No chance Vikes, but what can he say since they over paid him...just
like the Herschel Walker mess years ago where they put all the dough
in one guy, and how did that work out? Suffered for years.,.....

Every player on every team (and every coach) would say the exact same thing right now. Thats whats great about the NFL, everyone has a shot.

At least he has confidence. I would be pretty upset if we paid him a load of money and he responded with "we're shooting for 9-7." I'm excited to watch them this year. QB will be interesting but they seem to have improved at least a tiny bit in other positions.
