Just making an observation here. According to ESPN, Vikes have a higher rated overall defense than the Bears AND a higher rated overall offense. This while playing a first place schedule this season while Bears played a fourth place schedule. Since Vikes rate higher than Bears, they must be pretty good, agreed?

I guess we'll see Sunday while we're resting a few guys for the playoffs. Cousins better have his track shoes on. Bears will be finishing after that illegal hit you guys put on our QB. He will probably just hand one off to Hicks with his eyes closed to avoid hits. Same way he throws under pressure.

Oh, I thought he was related to Kyle Brant. Or is it Brandt? That was a truly awful preseason game that he called.

No, that was a play on the best head coach the Vikings have ever had ... who won as many championships as Nagy, by the way.

No because the Bears scored more points, gave up less points, and won the North while the Vikings became one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL this season. Minny 1-5 against teams with winning records. Bears 3-1.

Look at DVOA stats instead.

And don’t know about the schedule, but the Vikes haven’t beat a single team above .500 this year.

The original post is a fact, not an opinion. Based on stats reported by ESPN. It is objective based rankings.

Total Defense, Vikes #3 and Bears #4.

Total Offense, Vikes #17 and Bears #21.

Even as a mod, I try not to dislike anyone. But you know what... I am disliking the vikings fan on this one. I welcome all others to do the same. Stats are not always the bottom line to rate a team... W/L is what only matters. Even after we sit half our starters at halftime already being up 2 td's, Bears still going to win.. Cousins is the biggest choker after Cutler in the history of the NFL..

Who is the 1 team, cause if it's the Dolphins, they are no longer a winning team.

I saw on Facebook that this ESPN stat is based on YARDS ALLOWED ONLY, which the Bears have given up like 7 extra yards over the Vikings. It ignores the fact the Bears have the most turnovers, most points off turnovers, etc etc.
