This is May and we're talking about power rankings for the start of the new season. The Vikings went 10-6 last year and you're pointing to a game from last season that they didn't even lose. Well, they beat the Panthers, Giants and Cardinals and had the 10th best record in the league last season. I don't think it's crazy for me to put them in the top 10 for this year if they upgrade the QB spot from Jackson to Favre.

And lost to the Packers, Colts, Falcons, Buccaneers, Bears, and Titans. They still have a quarterback situation and have a coach on the hot seat- they were one of the 10 ten teams at the end of the year but they aren't one yet this year.

Ok, you're entitled to your opinion.


Edit: Darren Sharper seems to side with me on this, for what it's worth....

The Peyton Manning-led Colts had their game against the Lions taken down to the wire. Should we say they suck too?

I'm looking forward to a 14-2, 13-3 season with homefield throughout and a first round bye followed by a championship.

I'm thinking and hoping for 14-2. When we go 14-2, we win the Superbowl 100% of the time.

Brian Fantana - It works 60% of the time... everytime.

Ron Burgundy - That doesn't make sense.

I dunno. Deus Irae might be onto something with that quick-moving Vikings team out there. That Childress guy is Belichick's nemesis, having beaten him out on Percy Harvin and now......now.....now might get the 40 year old, 98 IQ scored QB who has always relied on his arm-not his head, who tore both biceps late last year and couldn't throw a freaking screen pass without it being intercepted.

Damn that Childress!

Not as good as they are made out to be.
