Saw this on a Vikings Board message board

How are the Vikes the best D? They are good but they are no Jags. I watched the Jags maul the hell out of teams all season. They are not that team. Thielen also gets shutdown by good CB's. He's no Michael Thomas that's for damn sure. Oh, and they lost to the Panthers so not buying any of their BS hype. They are no better than us right now. Probably worse though because their QB has no playoff experience and is known to blow big games. Reason why he is a backup after being a starter and only a starter by default. He won't be a starter next year after tanking this game because that is what backups do.

Thielen is great. He scares me for sure. Lattimore vs Thielen and Diggs will be fun to watch. I hope we get good pressure on Keenum all day.

I think they are number 1 overall

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.
