I would rather have us ranked lower than that.
We seem to perform better when we are "under the radar" so to speak.
I really hope we continue to improve as a team, but I could care less about these team rankings

Yahoo..........what a joke.

The Vike's defense is ranked 11th after the 1st week.

Now a win is a win and im not trying to take anythign away from it....but we very easily could have lost that game if Washington would have scored on any of those three field goal drives, Clinton Portis didnt play the starting role, we didnt bag a single sack, and we still cant run the ball.
I think a #11 or #12 ranking is fair after one week.
These rankings always take into account presedence.
I think we are likely a better team then the Bears but they were the division winners last year and we weren't so until a few more games pass they will be in the top 10 and we wont.
Still 1-0 playing a softened Carolina team.
I asked my magic 8 ball and it says "outlook looks good"!.

If the Vikes are ranked #1 in febuary then I'll get excited. I'm not going to spray my pants know, a lot of football left, and an important home opener this week. I belive the vikes will be out for blood this week. tomlin helps us win this one, turnovers and sacks.

HaHa... They have Green Bay listed under the "needs work" category.
They should have made a new category for Green Bay like "needs nothing short of a miracle".

i like the fact that we are rated that high but to tell u the truth i don't think we should be right now....if we beat carolina then maybe but prob not now. and also look at his other rankings, he has the chiefs below the packers, now i know that is off.
