Flacco played well. He led the team to a HUGE lead and then the running game took over. That's what you do when you have a great defense and a great running game once you get the lead.

Well my point is if you can run the ball as well as they can and stop the other teams offense you've got the makings of a championship season..

Heard hasselback talking this morning and he said the balls they were using had special beast cancer insignias on them and had come fresh from the manufacturer, which is probably why we saw so many go through jets receivers hands along with favre dropping it.

Also heard peter king talking that while revis was able to play the entire game that the hamstring was still an issue which is why he wasn't full speed or on the #1 reciever.

In the Colts game, Cassel dropped back and raised his arm to throw it and the ball just fell out. I'm not surprised that a big, smooth insignia like that would cause them to drop it.

Revis didn't look great yesterday~ except for that fumble recovery.

You wanted Favre. Enjoy Favre!

Doesn't matter who is in the driver's seat, the games are almost always the same. Suck balls for the first half and then come out for a strong loss in the second. And this is both offense and defense, every game.

I don't think it is coincidence that my 3mo old son has taken a massive shit during each of their games this year.

Everyone's putting all the blame on Favre but Adrian Peterson and the O-line need to do a hell of a lot better to put the vikings in a position to win. When you put it all on Favre, he's going to force passes, and the game is probably going to end with an interception.. That's just how it is. The Vikings should know that. If the vikings run the ball successfully they take a lot of the weight off of Favre's old shoulders. There's no doubt Favre is better than what their other options were, though.
