ESPN rankings

[pbmax]

That was exactly what was supposed to happen last year. Our O Line is better than we give it credit for sometimes. It can look awful, but these same guys (if Wells should be able to go) won twice versus purple last year.

They also outperformed future Hall Of Famer and President Logan Mankins, et al against the Giants D Line at the end of last year. That may mean they are both mediocre, but few people give our O Line that much credit.

As for rankings, eh. With the exception of the D Line and one guard, I like our roster better than the Vikings.

Dr. Z ranked us 10th as well. But he thinks the vikes are the third best team in the country, which is the best curse anyone could place on them.

Vikings DL will blow up the Packers OL...so I still predict a narrow, low scoring victory to the purple. But thank goodness; you gotta play the games :P
