For Minneapolis fans 2009 was not long ago. Their dome is comparable to ours - the fans will be fired up - it is loud in there - and it will cause problems. |

Re: Saw this on a Vikings Board message board
You have to take into consideration their opponents. They had six games against their weak division mates (5-1), four games against the AFC North including the Browns, Bengals and reduced Ravens (3-1) and four versus the NFC South including the Bucs and the Saints before we got our feet under us. That was a pretty soft schedule which would skew stats in their favor.

+1. The last 4 weeks (except the Panthers), the Vikes D have beaten up on below average offenses. Bears, Packers, Bengals are all at home. This Saints team will give the Vikings all kind of fits. |

Re: Saw this on a Vikings Board message board
It's one of those things where you play the schedule in front of you.
The Vikings are nominally the #1 defense, on paper, but they lost to the Steelers, the Lions and Panthers. Those are all pretty good teams with above-decent-to-very-good offenses and QB's. Then their games against the Falcons, Lions and Redskins were all sorta close, almost nail biters or toss-ups. That list has one really good team and and two sorta half decent teams. Then the Vikes had that first game against the Saints, in which the Saints had a new young defense and a different offensive game plan from now, and the Vikes back then had a different quarterback, a different running back, and I don't think the Saints team overall had really had a chance to gell yet. So I'm not saying the Vikes D are hot garbage, but I really don't see where the Vikes have played anybody really difficult or tough offensively, this year except for the Steelers, Lions and Panthers, which they lost all three; and the Falcons, which they won but it was a very close game. So I guess we shall see how tough they really are. But Drew has played against tough or stout defenses before, and won. So I feel pretty good about it. |
