Vikings better?

CantonLegend · 11-29-2009, 08:53 PM

the vikings defense is all condensed into 3 stud defensive linemen

however......we have arguably the best offensive line in the league even with goodwin and a backup LT

drew is arguably the most elusive QB in the league when hes in the pocket

drew has better pocket awareness than any QB they have played

our running game is better than any other team they have played.......our QB is better than any other QB they have played

our defense is better than any other defense they have played

our record is better than theirs and our schedule is tougher than theirs

the ONLY reason they are getting so much credit is because of brett favre

let me re-iterate that.....the vikings are the beneficiaries of a scrub schedule and are beating up on a terrible nfc north(can you believe the packers are 7-3? lmao)

the only reason they are getting so much press....so much respect......so much credit is because of brett favre.......they have only beaten 1 good team and that was by a last second field goal against baltimore

the other good team they played? the steelers beat them by 10

To say that the Saints do not have a run game is senseless. The Saints run the ball more than they pass it. I think we are hearing from game announcers who have not done their homework.

We do not have that one great running back, like Adrian Peterson, but we have an excellent running game. The Vikings, I suspect, use the run as much as they do because of Brett Favre's age. He had an age-related meltdown last season with the Jets, and the Vikings don't want another one.

The Saints and the Vikings have to face one another head on to finally answer this question. Both great teams. I would guess that whoever is at home will win.

in my opinion with the way bret is playing seems ageless. he actually has been passing quite frequently. i believe he almost broke a career high today. but agree with the excellent rushing attack that our team possess.

Yes, AP does have more yards than any one of our backs, but that's because our backs share. Bell and Thomas have around 1100 combined if I'm not mistaken. Bush also has roughly 250 in both rushing and receiving I believe.

yup thats why they call our backs the three headed monsters.. our backs are amazingly talented. yes AP may be the best. but our backs combined are the best tandem not wait, trio in the NFL. yes reggie bush is part of this "trio" lol.

Doesn't matter who people think is better. Both are good teams in the NFC but the toughest test is tmmrow night for the Saints against NE. A team in which I don't think Minnesota can beat or any other team in the NFC. We will see about the Saints tommorow night though.

yes tomorrow will indeed be a test.

Of course they are. Because Joe Buck and Troy Aikman say so.

These announcers are fools and just spout the junk that the home fans want to hear. If we were playing in that game, they would have said we were much better.

Minny has played a cupcake schedule, needed last second hail marys to beat sub .500 teams, and needed missed FG's to beat a so-so Ravens team. And they lost to the Steelers, who before Ben and Troy went down were a favorite to repeat in the SB.
