The last 2 seasons the Vikings pass defense has not been one of the worst in the league and they have not been one of the best either. The truth is they have been perfectly mediocre.
I would agree with that statement. They were above average in 2006, and below last year. Good reasoning on the stats. Like 2006 where while they were thrown on more than anyone they only gave up 15 passing TD's (10 less than Green Bay that year). They also had one of the best first downs allowed per pass attempt ratio's in the league.
Brett Favre threw 50 times on them in one game. Granted he did have 280 yards in that game, but had no TD"s and 2 INT's.
Kitna averaged 40+ attempts and 250+ yards against them in 06. He also only threw 2 TD's in those two games, had 8 turnovers, 2 of which were returned for TD's, and another 3 that left Minnesota with the ball already in FG range.
That's giving up a lot of yards which drops their pass D ranking. But I'd call those three games wins for the pass D by far.
07 there was a lot less of those kind of games though.
