Should be 3 but lets call it 4 FEVER!!


Hello all and welcome back.

Ok, so I know that it has been way to long since my last post. You can thank my colleague and fellow blogger Dan Cook ( his blog is here) for pushing me to "get back to writing", every time that I saw him. So, DAN, here you go... and the rest of you too.



Todays topic, Vikings pre-season game #2



Brett Favre in a Vikings uniform looks very much photo shopped.

That was the first thing that I said when I saw the highlights from the game last Friday. I was almost in denial that he was actually here, that he was actually taking the snap and handing off to AP. Then, after that first initial shock wore off and just had a big grin on my face.

Now I know that he was only 1-4 for 4 yards but the man had only 2 days of practice, so there is probably still some rust to be shaken off. His real test will come on Monday when he plays the first half, which by the ways scares me a bit, more on that in a sec.

Main observation on Fridays pre-season game not Favre related, our D looked pretty good again. Got a feeling we will be top 3 for the year and here is why.

We get a healthy E.J. Henderson and Madieu Williams, knock on wood, for a complete season.

Ray Edwards will wake up and have a break out season with around 10 sacks

We will have more INT's then last year, dont ask me how and from whom... just another one of those feelings.

Now, because of those three factors, I beleive that we will have a top 3 D in the NFL. Throughout the season and at the end of the season I will bring these three factors up and see how my "feelings" are doing.

Ok, now back to Favre starting for an entire half in the Vikings next game on Monday in Houston and I will make this brief. Don't know why but I just have a bad feeling about him starting for that half. Don't know what it is but I just have this feeling that he will throw like 3 picks or get hurt. Now I hope %100 percent that I am wrong, but its just a feeling. I would like to see that game played like it is his 2nd pre-season game, which it is, and have him play most, maybe all, of just the 1st quarter. But I am not the coach so I just hope Chilly knows what he is doing.

Ok, enough of my feelings for one night, hope you all enjoyed this and I promise I will keep it updated more often. If I don't, I will hear it from Cookie... good man.
