re: I have a feeling we are gonna EARN our respect Sunday

Lol. We were breaking that down on a Vikes site yesterday. What a terrible two minutes of football. For the record, we don't care about bounty gate (I mean it's game week so it was a disgusting act that tarnished the game forever and why, oh, why won't someone think of the children), but truthfully we hate Brad childress with a passion usually reserved for Packers, and everyone should have seen the Favre meltdown coming a mile away. That man made a career of screwing us over, anyone who thought it wouldn't happen again wasn't paying attention.... But it's the artistry of it all that I appreciate.

As for your O-line, even with your guy out, our rush is the one area I've not been impressed with over the last month. Some say we've been playing conservative, and there might be something to that. All I know is if Drew gets 4 seconds to read the defense regularly, it's game over. Our secondary is as good as I've ever seen, on any team...ever, but even they won't be able to hold coverage forever. And it's Drew Brees.

However, I think the game is won or lost on the other side. Our D, and Your O will punch each other to a stalemate 17-21 points. Can the Vikes score 24?
