Vikings 2014 Rankings: Record: 7-9-0 Offense (yards gained): Passing - 28th Rushing - 14th Defense (yards allowed): Passing - 7th Rushing - 25th Vikings Starting Lineup with college scouting report: http://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/MIN A Few Key Matchups - NaVarro Bowman vs #28 RB Adrian Peterson Hide your kids.....Bow is back! Two premier players make a comeback. They should collide a few times. - Jordan Devey vs #73 DT Sharrif Floyd Devey is a surprise starter after a preseason trade. Sharrif Floyd, entering his third season, is often the featured 3-tech in MIN's 4-3 Under front (shown below) and had a strong 2014. They have butted heads when Devey started for NE and will probably go 1v1 many times. 2014 - Week 2 (Devey is the RG #65) - Torrey Smith vs #30 LCB Terence Newman The 37 year old CB came over from CIN as a free agent during the offseason. They have gone head to head when Newman was with CIN and TSmith with BAL. - Aaron Lynch vs #68 RT T.J. Clemmings Lynch is looking to establish himself as the teams' best edge rusher. Vikings lost their solid six year veteran right tackle Phil Loadholt to an Achilles injury in preseason. Rookie 4th round pick T.J. Clemmings is now the starter. Reasons to boooo the Vikings - In the 1987 playoffs, the Vikings upset a heavily favored 49ers team in the Divisional Round, 36-24. - In the last encounter, the Vikings defeated the visiting 49ers 24-13 on September 23, 2012. - The Vikings made one of the most lopsided trades in NFL history by acquiring Herschel Walker, which helped provide the Cowpies with assets to build their 90's dynasty. Draft picks that resulted in the selections of Emmitt Smith, Alvin Harper, Darren Woodson, and Russell Maryland (indirectly). Hide yo kids LET'S GO NINERS!

I believe they were ahead of us in the power rankings! So they must be good!

Vikings are not bad like they were last year, point blank is they lost to the much better team. They're not TB, JAX and OAK bad. Still a good team with talent

The good

Hyde is powerful but also dynamic runner
OL looks solid both pass & run
Defense keeps their top 10 level despites departures
Up tempo offense can be "a real deal"

Bad

Passing game still vanilla sometimes predictable
Torrey-Kap still rusty needs lots of work
Penalties on crucial plays

Ugly

Hayne plane got reality check but will learn for better
