MOSteelers56 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I voted for the Saints. I think the Steelers are fairly flawed right now, but could be the best. As of now, the Saints and Eagles are the teams from the NFC that scare me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I vote Minny, because defense wins championships, sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The Vikings are the only team in the NFL that ranks in the top five in both total offensive yards per game (375.7) and defensive yards allowed per game (290.4). http://www.vikings.com/news/article-1/10-Vikings-Falcons-Numbers-of-Note-Vikings-Reach-Top-5-in-Total-Offense--Defense/4b89b555-9078-460a-b954-17997a7860ae?sf174618367=1 fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raves Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I personally prefer PPG than YPG, but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and give me a number if you can, tiers (though accurate representations) are cop outs. I'm not going to bash you if you think they're #6 or if you think they're #1. I'm just looking for perspective on where Saints fans think their team is at, at the moment. Saints without Lattimore and Crawley are outside the top 5. Especially with Brees noodle arm. Brees arm strength has gone up and down lately, and I don't think he's completely out of gas, but he doesn't consistently have it. A healthy Saints team with Brees on a good day I'd put third in the NFC behind Philly and Minnesota. If they catch fire I think they can beat anybody, but you can say that about a lot of teams.

vike daddy Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The Vikings entered Sunday’s game ranked No. 1 in the NFL in third-down defense, so it wasn’t a surprise that they were once again solid. But after surrendering just one conversion in 10 Atlanta tries and limiting wide receiver Julio Jones to two catches, Minnesota qualified as downright superb. The Falcons (7-5) were smoking hot before the Vikings (10-2) showed up at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, converting 65.9 percent of their third downs in a three-game winning streak in which they averaged 31.7 points. Against the Vikings, Atlanta converted its first third down of the game, a 16-yard pass from 2016 NFL MVP Matt Ryan to reserve tight end Levine Toilolo on third-and-6 from the Atlanta 37-yard line. And that was the end of that. Atlanta whiffed on its final nine third-down conversion attempts one week after converting 11 of 14 in a 34-20 victory over Tampa Bay. The Vikings entered the game allowing a league-low 28.5 percent conversion rate; Sunday’s work dropped that to 27.2. http://www.twincities.com/2017/12/03/on-third-down-vikings-defense-had-falcons-right-where-they-wanted-them/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cddolphin Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I think the Vikings may have leap-frogged NE and PHI this week straight to the top of my power rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
