Who dat thought this would be a game dominated by the defenses?

 

I didn't really expect it but with Rice injured and the Vikings defense being pretty good it's not completely surprising.

I'm noticing Minnesota's receivers not being able to get separation.

 

Only 3 of their completions have been to receivers.

 

Harvin is no where to be found. He screwed up a route earlier and I don't think Favre has looked his way since

I've gotta think it will come. Last year they were on the same page at all times and had a perfect rhythm. With Favre showing up late and Percy's migraines they didn't get much time together.

 

As far as the Berrian stuff, I'm about fed up with him. I don't expect him to be a #1 but show up. Favre threw him a perfect ball that would've gotten us in the red zone on the drive where we had to settle for 3. He cost Favre a pick-6 on a perfect throw in preseason game 3. Two years ago he was a legit deep threat for Tarvaris/Gus with garbage at the other spots. The last 17 games at best he's been sporadic.

 

Oh and I made two centsports bets on the game. One was for the Vikings to win +200 and the other was for the Vikings +6 and the over. Should have put the over with the win outright and had a safe play on the +6.

That's the [expletive] NFL for you. I thought betting the over was a gimme tonight. If you would've said the Vikings hold them to 14, I would've bet my house that they win. I would have also bet my house that the d-line wouldn't be the worst unit on the field. Good thing I never bet my house.

 

I guess overall it's kind of a positive despite the loss. Missing 2 of your top 3 CB's and you hold Brees and that offense to 14 in their house. No Rice, only 4 WR's, 2 RB's and the timing will only get better on offense. Favre hardly got touched and even when McKinnie went out the o-line protected him. The Saints have a nice o-line but the d-line was garbage and we were still there.

 

The problem is you have to beat Miami at home and win at Detroit before the bye. After that you've got Dallas, @ GB, @ NE, ARI (should be a win), @ CHI and GB. Need to get the offense in rhythm and hope the d-line remembers they're good or you're going to be in trouble by the time the schedule eases up.

I wish they'd shut disk up about katrina already I think everyone is tired of hearing about it by Noe. Saw little Jimmy norton outside dome at a bar earlier. Didn't see stats but harvin and berriab were complete nonfactors. Box we were in courtesy of Mississippi band of Choctaw Indians casinos. My chick was the only Choctaw in the box though the rest were high rollers I suppose and we got free liquour drinks which was fun normally boxes at the dome just have cheap miller lite or something. Can't believe hartley missed thiseb field goals though. That's crazy. Gonna come back down for Ryland game on Saturday night which well probably lose because ole miss sucks at everything.
