Minnesota Vikings...HOW are they winning????

I just got a email with the matchup with pitt and minny and saw this




HOW are the vikings winning with an offense that ranked 25 and a D that is ranked 26 both near the bottom

schedule

defense my friend...those stats are misleading...look at defensive stats over last 6 games.

22 INTs in last 8 weeks or some such thing!!

correct.. green bay and detroit twice. cleveland , and st louis .

every which way a return could score against the giants.

and another victory against the saints..

worst 8-5 team in the history of mankind..

you win games when you win turnover battle...they have been picking off passes like crazy as they should be...stopping the run as well with big PAT WILLIAMS in the middle.

Pitt has only beat 3 teams with winning records. Browns, Texans, Ravens, Packers, and Titans are 5 of their wins!

:hahahahah :hahahahah :hahahahah


got it now thanks

Brad Johnson is the man, that's how they win.

Against this hot of a secondary, Big Ben should be good for at least 3 INT's, at least one returned for six. Sorry Dante, but Big Ben is a Big Puss.

Darren Sharper is my guess for 6!!

Sharper has 39 INTs since the start of the 2000 season, 11 more than any other player in the NFL over that span.....5 for TDs.

he might be good for a few INT's but Ppeter in no way is he a puss....playing with a bumb thumb now and also playing a bit hobbled this year on a knee he is the exact defination of a TUFF GUY in the nfl ..still the 3rd rated passer in the afc


your a bit off Mr Hula man

It's the pencil behind the ear......

Vikes Win this weekend sets up Bears and possibly knocking them out of plyoffs.

Key game is Chi at GB. If Chi wins, they will claim the tiebreaker(best conference record). Assuming Minn beats Chi, both teams have same record, same div record. Tie-breaker goes to Chi with better conference record.

Bears can lose this weekend...all the games are key from here out. I think both got a good shot at going playoffs...lucky Dallas last week hurts though.

Huge home advantage and are improving all the time, The Steelers are going the other way, its all in the figures but some people tend to see only what they want.

PS: Forgot to say that is the secondaries

great stats Winny..god bless you sir!
