Power ranking gripe
https://www.vikings.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-2025-season
I know, power rankings are just click bait and are about as worthless as mock drafts for 2 years in the future. But I have a weakness and like to check them.
I wasn't put off by being ranked low before last week, we had an unknown at QB and would be starting the year in Chicago on MNF. Everyone was bracing for the worst. But after a great comeback win, one would think we would move up a bit. But not according to these geniuses (seriously, they get paid to write speculation and pure drivel). One even moved the Vikings down.
To top it off, they are already crowning the packers asses. #4 after that win against Detroit? A win is a win, but that wasn't impressive.
Ah well, bunch of idiots. I will enjoy the win, they can have their week 1 championship trophy.
Many of them will keep us low for as long as possible, citing the lack of information on JJM, the 3 quarters of mediocrity last Monday, the perceived weaknesses in our secondary, and so on. The Vikings, as usual, will have to beat bigger/better teams than others to get any credit for it...which means that even if we beat Atlanta on Sunday (very, very doable) and sweep the 3-pack of AFCN games afterwards (also doable, but more difficult), we'll be lucky to crack the top 10 without serious flameouts from the "better" NFC teams.
We tend to do pretty well, when flying under the radar. The naysayers have looked stupid before, they will again.
KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....
