The one where we talk about the Bears and Packers from 黄剑's blog

Good Evening!Hey fellow DN’ers Womens Tom Compton Jersey , I hope you enjoyed the Vikings win today over the 49’ers.Personally I was glad for the win but I thought the Vikings should have put the game away much sooner than they did.I’m on call tonight and it’s time for the first Sunday night game of the season and we’ll have the fun of watching one of our NFC North opponents start the season 0-1.I think most of us will be cheering for the Bears, but hey if you want to cheer for the Packers go ahead.....I wouldn’t tell us in the thread though.Stop by let’s make fun of the mistakes our NFC opponents make on the field and maybe be entertained. Personally I don’t want the either team building early momentum (yes I know it’s early in the season) but both of these teams are improved as compared to last year if you believe the talking heads.With that, let’s be neutral....just kidding, Let’s Go Bears.Also, GIF’s are welcome in this game thread.A few rules though, these will look oddly familiar.-No discussion of politics or religion-No feeding of the trolls-This isn’t a male version of The View, so leave the gender hatred at the door-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags-No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer-If you can’t disagree in a civil manner Womens Danielle Hunter Jersey , feel free to go away-While navigating the Bears-Packers thread, just assume it’s sarcasm With their victory on Sunday over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Minnesota Vikings are back on the upswing in the Power Rankings across the internet. While we understand that Power Rankings aren’t gospel, or anything even approaching it, it is kind of interesting to see where the various pundits across these vast interwebs have our favorite football team ranked compared to the rest of the National Football League.So, how far up the rankings have the Vikings climbed this week? Let’s take a spin around and find out.Associated Press: #9 (Last week: #14)No Vikings-centric commentary from the AP this week.MMQB, Sports Illustrated: #7 (Last week: #10)SB Nation: #10 (Last week: #12)No Vikings-centric commentary from the mothership this week.Walter Cherepinsky, Walter Football: #12 (Last week: #15)Look, it’s the same damn “overrated team” link that he’s had every other week. I won’t bore you with it.Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: #13 (Last week: #20)Elliot Harrison Authentic Brett Jones Jersey , NFL.com: #9 (Last week: #13)Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: #9 (Last week: #13)Bleacher Report: #8 (Last week: #8)Mike Florio, Pro Football Talk: #11 (Last week: #17)ESPN: #11 (Last week: #13)Frank Schwab, Yahoo! Sports: #6 (Last week: #13)USA Today: #12 (Last week: #17)Yes, it’s quite a significant swing upwards for our favorite football team, folks. The purple moved upwards in 11 of the 12 rankings that we use to put together our roundup, and stayed even in the one where they didn’t move up.The average ranking for the Vikings after falling to 1-2-1 last week was sitting at 13.75. With their big win on Sunday. . .a win that might have saved their season. . .they’re now back to being a Top 10 team with an average ranking of 9.75.Here is the graphic representation of the rankings so that you can check out the rise and fall throughout the first five weeks of the season. As always, you may click to embiggen.It would be nice to think that the Vikings have bottomed out as far as potential low points this season are concerned. However, we don’t have to look back that far to remember that neither the Vikings nor any other NFL team can take anything for granted in a given week.We’ll be right back here in the same place again next week for another Power Rankings Roundup!
