Can't believe I am the first to talk about this. This team just figures out ways to WIN!! Two pretty tough opponents last two weeeks and look what they did! Yesterday they made Cam look just as stupid as Rodgers the week before!! 8 Sacks!! 3 INT!! Defense wins ball games boys and girls. With all the adversity that the Vikes have gone through they don't make excuses they just find ways to get the W!! SKOL!!
Skol Vikings!!

Yea they have a real roster. If the QB doesnt hurt them or plays well, they got a shot. Remember some on here saying how they have no shot to go farther than packers. Right now they have as good as shot as any to win the NFC.

By the end of the season they will be plugging in guys off the street to play O-line but whatever works I guess. I think it really helps to have 3 former head coaches on the team to help with adjustments. Bradford should continue to improve as long as they can keep him upright. Although it doesn't seem like they need him for much. Bye Bye Bridgewater and AP. Barring some nasty injury to Bradford Bridgewater will not get his old job back. AP can just go away. Take that money and Kalil's money and go and get a real offensive line. They can draft a nice fresh 4th rounder to take AP's place.
There is no doubt you need good players, and the Vikings O-Line is suspect, and any team is good until the injury bug bites.
BUT - To make two Super Bowl quarterbacks look as bad as they did the last two weeks (And in reality, this goes back about 3-4 games last season), has a TON to do with coaching. Zimmer is the real deal, and this defense will carry them.
This was my favorite shot of the week - Mr. Showboat Newton sitting on the bench, completely baffled!! After all his dancing and posing and pretend selfie positions on the sideline after his TD run, I'd bet money the D said, we don't want to look at that CRAP again!

You are probably correct about the offensive stats. I would guess that a team like the Saints have a lot of passing yards. The Saints are 0 -3. Overall yards include garbage time Detroit like yards in last Sundays beatdown by Green Bay. Adrien Peterson has had impressive rushing yards for a decade. But no ring. In the end the only stat that matters is win or lose. It is hard to expect any QB to put up huge numbers that is as new to the system as Bradford. I doubt if Peyton Manning himself could do much better. The offense will get better with time. They have the Giants at home and then their bye week. Then only three tough games left all season against Houston, AZ and Green Bay. The Bears and Lions twice. If they beat the Giants on Monday they are as good as 8 wins already. Bears and Lions twice -remember?

Peyton is still peyton, he still put fear in defenses and would audible to the best possible play even if he was physically losing it. Come playoff time both minnesota and denver will need good QB play to win it all, which so far this season they have gotten.
The big name QBs havent shown up this year(luck, wilson, newton)besides big Ben. Guys like simeon, wentz, prescott, carr, matt ryan, bradford are playing well and their records show it.
I can't say I have seen that many Colts games this year but just listening to sports radio, TV, etc... it sounds like Luck has about zero talent around him. It takes more than a good QB to win.
Panthers missing offensive and defensive lines, Cam not comfortable and there's another year of game tape on him and defenses have figured him out a little more. Not sure what the heck he was lookin at last week while going for the TD and getting lit up.
If Denver and Minnesota get descent QB play, not turning ball over, in postseason they will be in most games as long as their defense plays as they should. All it takes it to run into a hot offensive team and they both can be had.
