Minnesota will win tonight (I think) but Green Bay is the team to beat.

I didn't have a good feeling about tonight. That is why I pulled Favre from my fantasy team. I was very encouraged by their defense though. To hold an offense like that to only 7 points after the first drive with an injured and not very deep secondary was pretty good. When Griffin comes back next week, it will help tremendously at the secondary. And other than the one drive, the run defense looked great. Favre looked pretty good but needs some work. And he really needs his go to big play reciever Rice, who won't be back till week 9. If we can go 5-3 or 6-2 till then, we may have a chance to finish 12-4 again.

This is what happens when a "franchise" QB skips training camp. I didn't get to watch the whole game but from what I saw he just did OK. I didn't understand the Saints offense of not running at all in the first half and then most of the 2nd. The 2 shanked FGs almost allowed a Viking win. Vike D was good allowing the Saints to score on just the opening drive of each half. Not really a barn burner.

They didn't have to run in the first half - Brees was picking their secondary apart.

They will pick up Vincent Jackson this Wed. and that will help. They will still end up winning 10+ games and make it as a wildcard then we will see how they do with all their players back. Two top CB's out and their top and only real reciever. He has no one to throw to. He has passed to basically Harvin and the TE for two straight games. That is all he has right now. So I am curious to see how he does when he has targets to throw to. I hope a lot better. It has to be tough to look downfield and see 2 guys double covered and stand there and wait to be rushed or sacked. I think they will be alright once they have one more reciever. Our defence still looks good even without our top 2 corners. We have held each team to only 14 points. We could have won today had they kicked the two feild goals rather than going for it on 4th both times. Plus the last drive was an easy FG even if we only would have hit one of them. CG is right, it was horrible play calling. Ready for a new coach.
