I don't think anyone realizes how GOOD the Minnesota Vikings actually are. They have the best run defense in the NFL, a monster D-Line that can pass rush, secondary is questionable in coverage if there isn't any pressure on the QB but as shown today can make plays, and their running offense is far and away the best in the league. Their line dominates every team they play. Tavarius Jackson is only getting better as he gets more experience, also. I am not happy as a Detroit fan knowing that we're headed to the dome in Minnesota next week and that Peterson will be back in the linup. Going to suck. Their running offense vs our bad run defense and our passing offense vs their bad pass defense. Oh joy...and for the record.

Only "bad" loss was @ Kansas City...and even that isn't that bad because Arrowhead is a very difficult place to play. 3 of their other losses are against the class of the NFC in Green Bay (twice) and Dallas once. They have a favorable schedule the rest of the season, and the way Detroit and the Giants have been playing...could easily win their way into the playoffs. I would NOT overlook the Vikings in the NFC. Crossing my fingers that the Lions can shake out of their funk and win at home next week to move back to 2 games above .500.
