That was one of our goals, to win the NFC South, and we found a way to do it. Regardless of what 2004 was all about, 2005 gave us a new opportunity.

Winning is always first. Winning is always first. When you win, everybody likes each other, and that takes care of chemistry.
breeds call definitely doubt football good guys last losing winning
There's no doubt about it. I think winning breeds camaraderie. We had camaraderie last year, but losing didn't really make it that much better. There's definitely a combination of the two, the young guys and the old guys. The balance, I guess, you could call it. It's really good on this football team.

Without Moss, Daunte has a few more options. He always had his four or five obligatory passes to No.84. I think it's freed him up a little bit. In preseason, he hit a lot of different receivers and he had a lot of success with it.
running
We think they're going to try and get back their running game.
