*edit: F*** Asher Allen...just terrible...anyone on this board could've done better than he did in coverage.

Saints didn't look like world beaters either, a little sloppy but that won't stay that way. Defense was alright...can't really say with how out of it the Vikings looked on offense at times. Establishing the run makes them MUCH tougher than when they just try and throw it...if the Saints in particular can do both...that's just scary...Likely 13-3 or 12-4.

You missed one of the biggest problems with your Vikings. Childress is an absolute idiot. 2:40 on the clock and no time out... WTF??? However if he had any sense he would have jetted Favre like Green Bay did and drafted a QB .

And the thing with them not drafting a QB, even if they knew Favre was coming back.

They now have to ride Favre success or lack of, Tavaris Jackson is the backup for crying out loud.

I would have at least tried to pick up a veteran back-up just in case Favre's ankle doesn't hold up.

But that is going back to Childress being an idiot and thinking Favre will duplicate the best season of his career.

What's the old saying, about excuses and a-holes? Unfortunately, Minnesota seems to have an abundance of both.....

Well Childress learned from Andy Reid on clock management...It's also his fault for bringing just 3 CB's to N.O.

They are just not the better team right now. Period.

Truth is

Vikings =0 Saints = 2

Thats life, you don't like it kill yourself or change it.

Actually

Vikings=1 Saints =2.

Don't forget 2008, once again in the Superdome.
