[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 283551, member: 655"] I don't consider the Vikings perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I don't consider the Pats of 07 to be perfect either. Very few teams would be considered perfect as far as I am concerned. There are way to many variables these days. 40 years ago I think it was easier to put together a "near perfect" team. The 70's Steelers come to mind. Just a collection of really good players playing within their capabilities. Now, as to the rankings. You don't want to be number one at this time of the year. The Saints are not as good as everyone makes them out to be. They played well last year. They have changed, lost some players, Charles Grant comes to mind. And if the Williams are suspend 4 games so will be the Saints W. Smith. Have they found a suitable replacement for Grant? Alex Brown from the Bears? Good question. Sharper more then likely will not have another season like he did last year. I don't think they will go 12-4 this year. 11-5 maybe. MN's "old Corner" is still younger then the Packers "old corners". And for those that profess that MN's Defense is getting old. Consider this. The average starting age of the defensive starters on the Packers is 28.3, and on the Vikings it is 29.4 with Old Pat, and with his backup in it's 28.4. But keep thinking the Vikings D is getting old. For those wondering about the O-line ages, considering who is likely to start for both teams, the O-line ages go like this. Packers 29.2, Vikings 28.4.
