The Minnesota Wild will look to take the next step during the 2014-2015 and improve on a 43-27-12 record from last season. By all accounts last year was a success for the Wild – the only thing missing was a deep trip into the playoffs which was interrupted by eventual Cup Champs Chicago in six games.
The Minnesota Vikings won 5 games last season and it is going to be hard to improve on that total this season. Overall I think this team is poised to get to a more competitive level in the near future but with their top pick at QB not quite ready for prime time it will be at least another season before improvement shows up in the form of wins and losses.

Vikings Destined To Finish In NFC North Basement Once Again In 2014
Looking back now it’s amazing the Minnesota Vikings managed five wins in 2013. They could have a tough time hitting that mark again in 2014. Christian Ponder, Matt Cassel, and Josh Freeman all started for Minnesota a year ago and its defense gave up more points than any other NFL team.
The Vikings surprised everyone in 2012 by going 10-6 and earning a Wild Card spot, then followed up by barley staggering to a 5-10-1 record in 2013, just enough for last place in the NFC North.
Without a doubt this franchise needs a quarterback. Drafting in the 8 spot they should have a chance to get one of the top prospects at the position but so far it has not been clear in which way they might be leaning.
It wasn’t all that long ago that Minnesota was one of the most consistent winning franchises in the game, winning 94 games as recently as 2010.
