This, they did not run the ball really at all the second half.
This was a big topic of discussion this morning on Mike & Mike. Let’s not forget Favre has been historically bad the first game of the year the last few years.
Truth!!!
AP only had 87 yards dude…in about 20 carries…come on now…
i’d rather work AP then rely on an out of synch Favre and poor wr play. they should have ran the ball coming out of half time.
Yeah, he wasn’t lighting shit up, but he was definitely Minnesota’s best bet. Aside from a few good balls to Shiancoe, Minnesota’s air attack wasn’t there. Once NO clamped down on Shiancoe, it was lights out.
should of benched favre for tjax
Yeah, I noticed that too. Man, that was a good NO defense. I was happy last night. We’re gonna have a nice season if the defense plays like this still.
Favre was sitting at home not too long ago. So he isn’t adjusted to playing.
You can tell he isn’t adjusted with his receivers just yet either.
Favre is really good but having to go from home to playing may take a while to adjust.
Playing the Saints and losing by that score. They didn’t do half bad.
Not dissin the Saints tho even though my family hates the Saints.
Well…the saints had 3 opportunities to put up more points, but that was on them. The Vikings didn’t get trashed, but uh, they weren’t close to winning. Had the saints go those 13 points, the game would have been done in the 3rd and early 4th
I’ve been waiting for this week since the FIFA world cup. Gosh, sportscenter is boring without the NFL/NBA/NHL
Same token. Vikings had their chances as well. Not as many chances though.
Don’t you mean the NFL/NBA/MLB?
No one cares about hockey in America especially during the off season.
nah, i mean NHL. Personally, I feel all the MLB top 10 plays are the exact same play. And nothing annoys me more than a walk off home run being the top play of the day. lol
Well at least NHL has some brawls you can catch on sportcenter. They fight the best for sports lol.
Yea I agree with you, but most of America don’t agree with us. I love going to a baseball game, but nothing is more boring than watching a baseball game on T.V.
Yea, I really dont like watchin baseball on tv. You can show a commercial at like any time. Its more fun to be there. Only thing i wish that I’d see more of in the top 10 was soccer highlights. But of course, less ppl in the US give a crap about European league (or MLS) than NHL

Wasn’t able to watch the game, due to being at work, but I heard most of it on radio. Saints definitely had chances to put the game away, though honestly, I was surprised it was that close, and the Vikings had an opportunity to win. They ran the ball so well in the first half (Peterson had something like 15 carries in the first half, yet only 19 total). Berrian hasn’t seem to find his form in a few years, now (he’s going to have to step it up the most, since Rice is out). The best shot the Vikings had of beating the Saints was through ball control, which they were doing in the 2nd quarter, but seemed to abandon it. I think they really miss Chester Taylor.
Things should get a little better, with Chris Cook and Cedric Griffin coming back. I still think Packers take the division, though.
Man AP didn’t fumble and the vikings STILL LOST?!?!?!!? Oh well, the saint’s look like the real deal again.
PS I just did a trade I may regret later in the season, but my wr’s are so bad I had to up grade for LARRY! I mean his name is LARRY so he must be a great man right? 
I swore this game would be over 42… there goes my parlays :\
