Power Rankings are BS, but...
I never want to be #1 in the Power Rankings because there's only one way to go...down.
I know many have trepidations on this offense, how we suck, I've seen benching Murray screams, etc.
Yet, we're 6-0.
Connor Orr had us at #2 yesterday.
ESPN has us today at #3.
Murray remains the most significant acquisition they made despite his individual performance being uneven in five games. The Vikings have won all of his starts, and there are some signs that he is settling in. His QBR since Week 5 (75.1) ranks sixth in the NFL, powered in part by nine scrambles that gained 94 yards and converted four third downs. -- Kevin Seifert
Despite having an almost historic defense, we have fans here who would complain if they were hung with a new rope (cowboy saying about chronic complainers).
Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.
Don't worry, Colin Cowherd had us at like 13th last week and we will probably be the same this time. Just use his rankings and you won't have to feel anxiety.

Week 7 claimed two of the three remaining undefeated teams in the NFL, leaving the Vikings as the last unbeaten squad standing. They climbed to the mountaintop by winning in their familiar fashion, with defense leading the way. Brian Flores’ unit is unquestionably elite and getting more creative with its approach each week. If the offense ever catches up, Minnesota will become a strong Super Bowl favorite.

Speaking of which...didn't we start the season around #16 or so? Total middle of the pack?

As I was saying...
Looking at team rankings and talking about the success or lack of success by a player that only impacts 1 aspect of the game is pretty misleading.
Offensive Rankings
Yds per game- 29th
Passing Yds per game 29th
Rush Yds per game 21st
Pts per game 23rd ( but those include special teams pts and field goals set up by the defense where the O layed eggs once again)
To say that Murray's acquisition is significant based on his performance to date is a joke, his contribution has been no better than Wentz wo came back as a free agent.
Murray to date is the most sugar coated turd that I recall for the Vikings.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
Vikings aren't playing like a 6-0 team yet on offense, but as a few have mentioned elsewhere, there isn't a team in the NFL, undefeated or otherwise, with as much upside as these Minnesota Vikings if the offense starts clicking. I know it's hard for the "you are what your last game says you are" blockheads to believe this, but significant improvement on the X's side of the ball isn't really that hard to see.

You trying to support your incorrect predictions of Murray's impact by demeaning those that are simply pointing out how wrong you have been is laughable. Murray and the O are simply maintaining a shitty status quo. The only breakout I see coming is if the other team plays like shit, or they put Murray's diminutive ass on the bench and get somebody that can see the whole field in there that isn't afraid to throw to an nfl open receiver with regularity.
