Chavous made the pro bowl. I GUESS THAT ACCOUNTS FOR SOMETHING. He's constantly billed as one of the smartest players in the NFL. Russell led the league in Interceptions last season.
I guess that doesn't matter, since he didn't hold the team together.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Way to evade the question. The Vikings have been rebuilding. Last year they fell apart under a new head coach. If they do the same this year, he will be gone.
Vikings still match up favorably with the Eagles. Better CBs, better offensive line, better WRs, better HBs, the D Lines might be equal if not in Philly's favor, but the LB corps of both teams suck. Both teams have good safeties, with one pro bowler and one solid starter.
Oh wait, Akers is definitely better.
I hate to say this, because I know the Vikings are the most dominant team offensively, they still might not have what it takes to go all the way. Because of Mike Tice, and Mike Tice alone.
