Hartley cost NO takers the spread.
Favre needs to trust Berrian and his other WR more. Shank is going to get blanketed if he keeps on only going to him

Anyone with a brain knew the Saints would win. Favre didn't have enough practice with the new guys, ankle still not 100%, didn't go through training camp, just wasn't prepared.
No difference. He cant play for the first 6 weeks anyway, maybe 10 now that the season started and he hasnt signed.
It looked like Favre was just a bit out of sync with his receivers at times. I guess missing all those preseason games may have meant something. They'll get more consistent with more games played together.
The Saints offense looked so very up and down, quite spotty.
But as a Packer fan, I have to say I liked the outcome of this game.

I think the Saints only looked up and down because the Vikings did a good job shutting down big plays. Every time that it looked like they had a chance to blow up they got their legs caught up. You could even see Bush got pretty upset at one point because of it. Just couldn't shake them.

I'm not a Viking fan, and even I know that's what they do. It's why I tell Vikings fans to STFU when they say they need a new stadium. You can lose games in any goddamn stadium, don't need anything fancy for that.
14-9
might want to tug one out before the next game to keep yourself from getting too excited too quickly
I think some of the half time adjustment that the saints defense did was a big part in shutting down the queens in the second half. As far as the saints not scoring as much as we saw last year, Brees did just fine, and had his receivers not dropped 14 points in the endzone the score could have easily been 28-9.
Perhaps there is still some of a superbowl hangover, but I saw nothing last night leads me to believe the saints can't be as good as they were last year.

that's the way its been the past 10 and now 11 openers where the superbowl defender won the opening game of the season
don't get me wrong here, I think the Saints are still one of the best teams, just don't count the chickens before they're hatched like the OP was doing

AFter reading/seeing/hearing the post game comments, it sounds like they have moved onto wihning about this season already.
Vikings 0-1
That is all that matters.
Tons of holding calls that game. Might be something to do with the positioning of the field ref?

Crappy game, missed opportunities for sure. I'm actually happy it was only 14-9 and we moved the ball well at times and I think once Favre gets comfortable with his receivers, things will be a bit better. I thought AP looked good too. Hopefully they will play a stronger game at home against the Dolphins in a week and a bit.

Favre clearly misses Rice and Taylor. Berrian was a complete no-show and Harvin can't carry as a #1. Also Taylor was his favorite 3rd down target. Without him they will have more stalled drives.
