Best in the NFC?

but if the game is to be played in MN i say Vikes, if its in NO i say Saints but if its at a neutral site, id have to take the Saints…. sadly

I am so scared of what the Saints would have looked like against our fourth quarter “cough” defense…

But they are a QB injury away from being aweful, too.

1. Vikings (way ahead of the others) If chilly stops being conservative!!!!!!!!

Saints
Vikings

… so we could find out. It’s hard to believe, but your offense is less potent than the Saints and you give up more yards on defense than the Giants (though not today, of course). The Giants don’t have much of an argument after today, but the same game probably gives the Saints a better argument than the Vikings at this point.

No one else is close to those three right now.

because we really won’t know who’s better until the teams meet on the field. Sure, the Saints look awesome but as I recall they looked great last year too when we went into New Orleans and came out with a win (tell the truth, how many of us expected the team to get the W with Gus at QB?). If not for Reggie Bush’s two TD returns that game isn’t even close. Our quarterback is better this year and so is our team. You could argue the same for New Orleans so I guess we’ll have to hope the two meet in the playoffs. Until proven otherwise, I cast my ballot for the Purple.

Would you have voted for Philly before their loss today? Everyone loved Seattle last week.

The Saints are the best this week because they beat a good club by a lot. Don’t mean a thing against the Vikes because we have this great pass defense, ect. Oh Oh-

Yep, vote for the Saints

That offense really is deadly. I would say Saints, Vikings, and then Giants.

I think we (vikings) are NO.1 mainly because we have not seen the best of the vikings yet. Favre is just about getting in the grove. Today we miss one of our best defender(NO.26). If he was there they would not have gotten all the yards. They were picking on No. 41.
     Note to No. 41 you never let the receiver to the inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BECAUSE OF JARED ALLEN! and AP’s game changing runs. If you watch the Saints they really don’t do anything special but execute very well on slants, curves, and screens. Mainly because no one gets pressure on Drew Brees. I think if Jared were to get to Drew a few times, it could change alot! On the other hand, the Saints Defense can make some plays also, but i don’t know how well they would match up to Adrian Peterson. Heck even Darren Sharper wouldn’t want to be in the open field with him! Saints Strike Fast Offense, Vikings can strike fast but mostly grind for every yard, and play well 3 quarters on defense. Which 3? I really don’t know its random every game. However judgments by us doesn’t matter when the two teams square up, because the best team will win regardless, and as of now, There is no Stand-Out winner. Heck some can argue Atlanta is in the mix also!

At 6-0 the Vikings not only have the best record in the NFC, they also own the best record in the NFL. This record could be shared if Denver wins tonight.

It’s probably the Saints. However they are very beatable. You just have to have the right game plan.

Which is run run run, get their D tired. Convert short 1st down passes if you need it. Keep their O off the field as much as possible. Hope to catch the offense trying to make a big play and capitalize on turnovers….

I’d love to rank our guys #1, but the Saints straight up DISMANTLED the Giants previously #1 defense. I don’t want to see our secondary against their offense right now.

Not saying we can’t do it but right now I’m a bit worried about our D.

That’s not even the worst issue though. Far worse than the d is Chilly’s play calling. Seriously why the hell did he stop passing to Shank and Rice in the first half? We shoulf have beaten the living snot out of them. It KILLS me that he gets a lead and sits. We have a high caliber offense here and we need to use it. The running three and outs do burn the clock but they also put our D on the field for way to long. One of the reasons we fell apart in the fourth is because our D was out there for so dang long.

As well we lost momentum Chilly this is the NFL. People are good and they will come back 24 points in the fourth! Don’t ever let your boot come off of their necks!

So now they’re saying that because we took our foot off the Raven’s throat this weekend, and gave them a real shot at coming back in the final 8.5 minutes of the game, that the Vikings win wasn’t legit. The Ravens could have won. And this is true. It’s also true that pigs could come flying out of Goodell’s posterior, but it hasn’t happened. Yet.

They say that the Vikings have had nothing but soft opponents, so the 5 previous wins aren’t legit. So we must all doubt the ability of the Vikings. Their 6-0 record doesn’t really mean a whole lot.

Next week, we play the Steelers. They say we can’t win because the Steelers are defending Super Bowl champs, and so they’re better. They say we can’t win because Favre sucks in cold weather. They say we can’t win because Big Ben will pick apart our secondary. And if we beat the Steelers up one side of the field and down the other, but in the final 4 minutes the Steelers come back and we win on a last second FG by Longwell, they’ll say that the Vikings aren’t legit, because, you know, the Steelers could have won.

Only… the Ravens didn’t win. And neither did those previous 5 teams, whoever they were, somewhere back there in the rear-view mirror. And my money’s on the Vikings this coming weekend, playing the Steelers at home.

I know the records, I’ve heard the arguments about who killed who (MP), I know all about the Vikings weaknesses and the Saints strengths, I even read most of the comments above.

After some serious consideration on the matter, I came to my conclusion that absolutely, uncategorically, without a doubt, the Minnesota Vikings are the #1 team in all of FOOTBALL, amateur and professional, in all variations (Canadian, rugby, soccer, and US American!), period. And they always will be, no matter what the records state :)

My justification is absolute. I’m not neutral. I’m not ESPN or Switzerland. I’m a Vikings fan, and I’m not interested in being fair to the other teams in this matter.
