Linval Joseph says Vikings ‘better’ than ’11 Giants he won Super Bowl withlink:

“This team is better,’’ Joseph said. “It’s a different team, a
younger team and we’re hungry and we want a ring and want to just keep
winning one game at a time and just keep doing our job and just keep
proving to everybody that we’re a good team.’’

The Giants in 2011 went just 9-7 in winning the NFC East before
getting hot in the playoffs and winning four straight games, including
21-17 over New England in Super Bowl XLVI. The Vikings are 9-2 and have
won seven straight entering Sunday’s game at Atlanta.

When told about Joseph saying the Vikings are better than those Super
Bowl-winning Giants, linebacker Anthony Barr wasn’t surprised.

“He better say that,’’ Barr said. “I don’t know what else he would
say. If he said we were worse than them, he’d need to find somewhere
else to go. He’s going to ride with us for sure.’’

Nice sentiment and debatable if true, but good teams need a little luck in the playoffs also. I think the Vikings are a talented team, a younger team which is good going forward. I'm just glad that Minnesota is in the playoff equation, fun year so far.

It's December...Time to heat-up and accelerate from here.

I will be disappointed if that doesn't happen.

So were the 2011 Pats, better team does not always win.

Exactly.  That Giants team shouldn' have won, or in many years even make the playoffs.  They had a lot of luck and the ball bounced the right way.  The '98 Vikes know the opposite side.  This year's team could advance or not due to one play.
