If we did the latter, our stats would be even better. If we were to juxtapose the very same preseason stats from the last few years, we would see a difference. It would appear we are remarkably improved on defense, any way you slice it. It'll be fun to see just how much in the next few games. :bng:

True, but you'd have to take into consideration the opponents they played against, who those opponents fielded out of the roster, what were the goals they tried to achieve in the games, etc. - and then look at the same variables from the Vikes' and Saints' point of view.
Having watched those games fairly closely, the Vikes held out many starters from all of the preseason games or gave them just a handful of snaps.
I'm not saying they are world-beaters - just trying to keep a cool head.
