Have the Vikings played THAT many good opponents?

I know they beat the Rams pretty bad down the stretch, but who else have they played? I know that they good beat by a large amount of the good teams they played and their division was super weak, as they played the Packers w/o Rodgers both times. They also lost to the Panthers, whom we've beat twice. I just think that they've taken advantage of a fairly weak schedule.

Their defensive stats are elevated because they've played the BENGALS, the BROWNS, the RAVENS, the A-Rod-less Packers and the Chicago Bears this season, methinks it's a phantom reputation their defense possesses which elevates my confidence in the Saints as they proceed to face them IN A DOME. Get ready for some offensive fireworks ERRYBODY

Let's not minimize the Vikings.
They're a great team.
They're a great team.

That passing game with Keenum, Diggs, Rudolph and Thielen is, as Marv Albert would enunciate, "ON FIRE!!!"

I've been banging my head trying to find chinks in the Viking defense's armor the last two nights.
One thing I found was, when you extrapolate the Vikings games from their opponents offensive stats, their rushing and passing numbers are somewhat mediocre.
The 1st number is the team's NFL Rushing ranking when we eliminate the Vikings game.
The 2nd number is the NFL Passing rank with the Vikings game eliminated.
(I took out the Vikings games so the "Yea, but their numbers would be better if they didn't play the Vikings" argument couldn't be used).
Saints: 3, 6
Steelers: 20, 2
Bucs: 27, 5
Lions: 32, 4
Bears: 12, 31
Packers: 17, 21
Ravens: 9, 29
Browns: 18, 23
Redskins: 28, 13
Rams: 5, 10
Lions: 32, 4
Falcons: 13, 8
Panthers: 7, 27
Bengals: 29, 24
Packers: 17, 21
Bears: 12, 31
Rushing AVG: 17.56
Passing AVG: 16.19
That's fine. But when we use this same component on the Saints' opponents, the numbers are almost similar: 16.38 (Rush), 15.56 (Pass).
I'm almost out of ideas. I've ran numbers on them when it comes to how well they stop the screen game and its not ideal. I think I'm going to give up on this venture and just trust in Payton and the boys to come up with a solid game plan to attack their weaknesses that I'm not paid enough to see.

I just looked at their schedule and they did lose at home to the lions 14-7. Really no real blow outs except for the bengals. We have a great shot Sunday. We won’t be blown out for sure.

Look up "Zimmer schools McVeigh" from the "Film Room" series on UTube. It's complimentary to the vikings defense of course, but it also spells out a couple ways to beat it. It's only twelve minutes long, and the the answer is too complex to type out, but it can be done.
