Vikings... not getting respect?

[PhoenixEagles1]

The Vikings aren't getting the love they deserve. The Saints and Eagles are getting the headlines but Minny has a top 5 D and amazingly a top 5 O too. Thats incredible. Sucks they lost their star RB but the Vikings could be a SB team and deserve more respect and headlines.

I think everyone is having a hard time believing Case Keenum can keep playing at this level ... It's easier to say the Saints and Eagles are better SB contenders in the NFC because their QB situations are more believable.

The Vikings defense is very, very good though so they will be tough for anyone in the playoffs ...

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

They have 2 very good WR too.

 

[fknhippie]

Good, seems like every time they're expected to do well, they flop.

Keep them pegged as an underdog.

Coaching IMO

Zimmer is a sensational coach, team limits mistakes, and plays within Keenums' limitations, which seem to be not very many right now

And Adam Thielen has to be the most underappreciated player in this league right now

But the're PURPLE!!! My God!! We're talking fuckin purple!!!

Other than that they are a fine team and could easily end up as the # 2 or possibly even the # 1 Seed.

no one trusts houston cougar QB's. theres never been a good reason to. keenum is having a nice year, but he had a 78 rating and a 58% comp % in 26 starts before this year to go with 20 picks.

people are waiting for his wheels to fall off, as they will.

 

[Pure Steel]

Solid team, playing well, but many are not sold on Casey Kasem.....

 

[CaptainStubing]

Agreed. Their receivers are helping Keenum quite a bit. Not many drops, they get open, and get good YAC. They will need to stay healthy.

I agree they probably aren't getting the credit they deserve (including from me)
Hell I picked the Rams to win yesterday.
But I also think like many he already posted.
I would take a Bress led team or a Wentz led team into the playoffs over that one guy.

but they do have an impressive run going.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Intended to say...I think Case Keenum and the MIN OFC that might be getting overlooked. Most people know the Vikings have a legit D...but may not know who the starting QB is unless they follow the Vikings.

I always say...just keep winning, the rest will take care of itself.

I can't see him keeping it up either but I did pick him up in one of the leagues. I will say this though, there is no way Bridgewater can start over him at this rate... But yes, the Vikings are being overlooked.. I didn't even realize there record until last night

Absolutely. Brees is a SB champion.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Just read the game thread from yesterday.... not a single one of them wanted to give credit to the defense, or coaching. "We beat ourselves!!!" Bwaaaaaaa!


But yeah, I agree with @fknhippie. Let them remain unnoticed.

 

[fknhippie]

Not sure why everyone is knocking Keenum. Interesting is regardless of where he's played, he takes less sacks per snap than the starters he replaces.

 

[bt08]

wentz?? WTF has he done in the playoffs so far?

 

[YankeeRebel]

I have always liked the Vikings although I think they need to get rid of the stupid Viking mascot and get a sexy Valkyrie. Anyway I am and have been for a very long time a Pats fan but I sure would like to see the Vikings wina SB before I kick. I remember Bud Grant. Alan Page, Chuck Foreman, Fran Tarketnon and others I really always liked that team
