Differences in the Game Tonight Than NFCCG

(excuse the length)
It was earthshaking in the Dome for the NFCCG. With the banner drop, the Brees chant, and it being Our Time I am expecting the fans to be very similar. What will be different this time though? There's quite a bit. Whatcha got?
-Heath Evans back for Saints
-E.J. Henderson back for queens
-Favre starts the game being the injury report. He's had injections to the ankle and looked less mobile in preseason
-Vilma starts the game being on the injury report. His % is unknown but his presence is vital for leadership and playcalling
-MN starting CB Griffin was injured and went out on the NFCCG OT KO. He may try to play but hasn't had a snap since that game. They drafted CB Cook who won the starting job but is out injured. If you think signed Lito Sheppard is good you are about 3 years behind in news. Other starter Winfield has been good but now 33 and was notably slower last year (Fred Thomas Syndrome). I'll mention their 3rd CB Asher Allen even tho that is no change. Brees will devour him.
-Husain Abdullah starts his first game at safety
-Malcolm Jenkins starts his first game as safety
-Subtract MN best receiver Rice (83rec1312yds8tds) and replace with Camarillo, more of a posession guy. PS: Berrian a terrible preseason
-Subtract Fujita and add whoever and however the rotation plays out
-Subtract 3rd downer Chester Taylor and add no one. Gerhart dinged, only Albert Young behind AP
-Subtract Bobby McCray insert Alex Brown, hope to see some Juneyah too
-MN C Sullivan returned to practice the first time Sunday. Less than 100% if he plays.
-Whiners have made much of the Saints not penalized enough and bad calls on queens. NFCCG Reality? Minn 5 for 32yds, Saints 9 for 88yds. This could swap around. I'm predicting at least one significant pass interference call on MN. PS: 2009 Roughing the Passer MN 12 NO 5
-Morstead punted 7 times (51yd/49net avg!). I'll put money on that not happening again
-NFCCG longest pass plays? MN Harvin 20yds NO Thomas 38yds Bush 28yds. Money on that changing too

main difference for me is that Drew Brees will be his normal self, last year he was extremely nervous and understandbly so trying to get a downtrodden city to it's first SB. He will come out clicking on all cylinders!

I have to agree that the Saints had to overcome being a bit nervous in all three games. I think this being a regular season game helps us, the pressure is off.

I think the main difference is that Favre will not be in mid season form, but Brees will be.

Brees should be much more relaxed and play well.
Went to the 7-11 last year vs. MIA
