Rams and Saints are NFC elite, Vikings are second tier below that. Have to see what it means come playoff time.

Still? Fully healthy, the Vikings are as good as anyone.

I sure enjoyed watching the Blue bombers today))
Saints are the best for week 10. Who knows what that translates to in week 17 or later. The rams have dropped off from the way they looked the first 6 weeks of the season. Have been very lucky in the past few wins. Their defense cannot stop shit. Just beat the Bears for now.

That's just it. When we played the Rams, I felt they were the better team. Now, I'm not so sure. They've looked pretty average the last few weeks. When we played the Saints, I felt we were the better team. But they look a lot better than they did two weeks ago. A healthy Viking team is a much better team than the one those teams saw earlier....and don't count Philly out.

IMO, there are 6 key positions on offense. The engine that makes the offense go--Cousins, Cook, Reiff, Elflein, Diggs, Thielen. This team has not had all of them in the same game yet this year.

Having watched now both the Rams and Saints play our Vikings can anybody really think the Saints are not the best right now. I agree now is not the end of the season. The Rams were not better then us...imo. They just got far more breaks. Caught us on the road on a short week and very short handed. Got some nice breaks from the refs too. Through all that they found a way to beat us by one score. The Saints did us hard in our own home. We were short handed then too but the field should have been shorten compared to the playing field the Rams got. We need to get healthy and get some wins so we can have rematches. That's all we can hope for.

Meh...you can say that about every game though, can't you? I just go by my gut feeling. And that told me we were better than the Saints (even though we lost) and the Rams were better than us. AT THE TIME. It all goes back to the trapper..."it ain't who you play, it's when you play them." Rams, Philly and the Pats are declining. Saints, Chiefs, Steelers and the Vikings are on the rise.

That said, I honestly believe the Vikings have the most talented roster in the NFL. If we can get everyone healthy and put a few games together like that and build some continuity, I like our chances. But of course staying healthy is not an easy thing.
