Well this was a wasted weekend for football!
 
Ravens & Cowboys forgot to bring there Offense.
Down right Embarrassing for both teams.
 
Got to say though, it was almost fun waiting Favre.
Impressive performance for a 40 year old!

I'm not a huge Vikings fan, but it is most intriguing watching Farve at 40 perform that well.

Cowboys forgot to bring an offensive line, and no adjustments were made (i.e. screens and rollout pass plays) to counter the Vikings pass rush.  It's difficult to get your offense clicking when your quarterback is lying on the turf, getting sacked 6 times and running for his life throughout the game.  O-line is the foundation of a good offense.

Well, on the reverse side...the Vikings played well. They finally brought their entire "D" for the first time in a long time though the secondary is still suspect. The running game is still not where it should be but hopefully it will by next week. To the Cowboys' fans out there, being a Viking fan for over forty years I can more than relate.

Watching Farve having fun out there... that's what football's all about.

No doubt; they did indeed!  New Orleans has their work cut out for them!

Agree Ted, wish Dallas would have shown up.  Hope Brees and the Saints stick it to them.  Can't stand the Vikqueens.  Maybe it is their fans.

Sorry SD but it's the Vikes, been a fan since I was 9 years old back in the day when Joe Kapp was the qb. Lived through 4 Super Bowl losses, and a few NFC Championship heart breakers. I'm like Hunter, if I watch 'em they loose.

Baseball: I'm a fan of the twinkies too as well as the SF Giants.

I won't bore everyone about how I feel about the local Niner fans.

Twinks I can handle.  How did a CA boy end up a Viks fan, or are you a transplant?
