Favre starting to get flustered. Hes due for a pick anytime now

 

Good call

 

You realize right after I said that is when Favre threw the 2 passes that should have been picked off right? The one off AP's hands that went in the air is normally a INT in the NFL, and the 2nd one that bounced up in the air and hit about half the players on the field yet still fell to the ground? Favre played a good game, but my comment wasn't out of line. At that point in the 3rd quarter he was starting to get flustered and proceeded to throw 2 passes in the same series which normally end up as INT's.

Yeah, unless you enjoy watching the Great Satan of baseball likely sewing up another championship, you're outta luck.

No Sunday night football sucks.

 

This. I could not be less interested in baseball right now.

 

Same here, especially between these two teams. It's going to be a long wait before next week.

Yeah both of those passes should of been picked off. But if they were, neither of them would of been Favre's fault.

That slipped my mind. For some reason, I thought it was another crappy Monday nighter. The next couple of MNF games should be good.

Nice first win today. I wouldn't mind a 10-game winning streak to put us in contention for the playoffs, but I figure we'll still end up closer to drafting Eric Berry than a playoff berth. Today looked a whole lot like the 13-3 Titans of last year.

 

Great day for Vince today. 15-18 for 125 yards and a touchdown is very good. 12 carries for 30 yards for a QB isn't bad either. He was making almost entirely good decisions (save for an early near-pick and a later poor decision) and looked pretty accurate overall. If he does this all year, he could be the "QB of the future" in Nashville again.

 

And on a note of interest, MJD and Chris Johnson are ridiculous athletes. 405 combined rushing yards is, I believe, an NFL record. That's 12 yards per carry combined.

I knew they would get it together right before they play the 49ers. I told my brother that in week 2.

So what happened to Vikings fullback Fahu Tahi to keep him from playing Sunday? According to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com, Tahi injured the area around his eye in a Saturday horseplay incident with tailback Adrian Peterson.

 

Per Marvez, the two men were wrestling on Saturday in the locker room.

 

Heh...think AP will get disciplined? Think Tahi would if it was AP that was injured? :)

I wouldn't go that far yet. I want to see 2-3 games at least like that before I start saying they got it together.

 

I really hope Vince plays well, though. Partly because we've got too many other needs to be drafting a QB in the first round and partly because I'm just pulling for him.

Yeah 15/18 in your 1st game starting in a year and a half is not bad, especially the no interceptions part. I would not mind seeing them sort of mirror what the Dolphins have been doing. Young and Johnson in the backfield could create a ton of problems.

Definitely. They were careful with him on the playcalling (QB and HB draws on numerous third downs, for instance), but he was still making some good decisions.

 

I really like the zone read play and the runs out of the shotgun they have in the playbook with Vince in there. I think those plays suit Chris Johnson better because it spreads out the defense and loosens up the lanes a bit. Having the defense worry about Vince keeping the ball takes some of the focus off CJ as well.

i don't think i've ever seen a QB be the lead blocker escorting a RB on a long run like that before, unreal

That was really impressive. I had no idea that was Garrard ahead of him seeking out the block until they said it. Even then I was shocked.
