Vikings have to pick up the blitz better.....he did have a nice throw in the corner and Harvin who really should have caught it.....other than that, offense isn't impressing me. How bout that defense though!

Defense looks good...although they're starting to give up some plays now. Adrian Peterson is unreal. Favre would be alot worse if it weren't for the threat of Peterson.

Much better than the 1st two or three, that's for sure. Wonder what happened to Shaub's knee? That doesn't look really good.

Agreed, the ball to Harvin was pretty.

Run defense and pass rush is scary, but coverage still looks spotty.

Both teams look pretty evenly matched, but I'm not convinced Favre is the best QB on the vikings.

Looked like his ankle actually...not so much confused as good execution by Houston.

If you're a packer fan, the good thing in all of this is that it delays the development of Booty. Even the Vikings management probably agrees that the Viking future isn't with Jackson, and probably isn't with Rosenfels.

It was a pretty drive, that's for sure. It looked initially like they were putting a brace on his knee, now they're working on his ankle. Wonder if he twisted it and got the dreaded "high ankle sprain"?

Peterson is nuts. He looks in midseason form.

Ah, you're right. The glare of the lights off the chrome of Favre's walker gives his throwing motion that extra bit of luster.

Spectacular bombs were Friday night. A nice change of pace.

boo yah...PLENTY weapons on minnys squad..favre can afford to be mediocre for 1st time in career

[falco]

Nice play by Chester. Horrible tackle by #26.

[Rastak]

Make 'em pay for the constant blitz.......nice!

[superfan]

Favre looks pretty good tonight, definitely an upgrade at the position for the Vikes. He has thrown some bullets. Not all that consistent though.

Only a two game sample from what I've seen this preseason (Favre vs Texans, Rodgers vs Cardinals), but despite Favre's relatively good play, I have no doubt that Rodgers will be the best QB in the division this season.

Nice job by Chester Taylor to get in the endzone. Vikes overall are looking strong.

[Fred's Slacks]

nice play by taylor.

[Zool]

Good run by Taylor. He'd start on quite a few other teams.

Some really fine "tackling" by Houston on that drive.

[falco]

I can't wait for the regular season showdown..... the intensity will be amazing.

Rastak, should be a good year for our rivalry. Heres to hoping Favre gets to play in Lambeau this January....

Alright, the guys at ESPN need to cool the love fest. I have little tolerance for bs.

I disagree. Favre had two good throws (to Harvin in the end zone and the 3rd down conversion on the last drive). Otherwise he looks rusty to me. All the checkdowns and Taylors nice play make his stats look better than they are.

I was going to say the same thing.

Amazing how 2 people can watch the same thing and reach 2 diff conclusions.

But, then again...pretty good may not be that much of a compliment from superfan. He did say "not all that consistent."

[MadScientist]

It's in the contract for the #3 guy to suck up to Favre. At least this guy is somewhat less annoying than Korny while doing it.

How is Matt Schaub a starter. He sure does love to Chad Pennington the ball in there. OD is phenomenal. Wish he was a Packer.

My expectations must have been lower. :) He's thrown a few bullets that have been on target, and I wasn't sure he could do that, with the reports of him having a cracked rib going into this game.

Matt Schaub back in the game. This is a bad night for me to update my fantasy rankings. I keep moving Schaub up and down.

Actually bruised ribs I'm guessing. I wasn't super impressed with the offense. They did get 17 points in a half...and the Texans didn't sniff the 50 yard line until 7 minutes left, although they then put up 10 points.

I think Favre will have some good games this year. I just believe that the Vikes would probably be better off with Jackson OR Rosenfels.

Had Favre been on board since the first minicamp, I might feel differently.

[Kiwon]

Weird. Just don't like seeing Farve in purple.

Actually bruised ribs I'm guessing.

From WCCO.com (in Minneapolis):

Report: Favre Believes He May Have Cracked Rib

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre says he might have a cracked rib, although it didn't prevent him from starting against the Texans.

Favre told ESPN before Monday night's game at Houston that he hasn't received an official diagnosis but that taking a deep breath caused him some discomfort. He also doesn't plan to wear any kind of special padding, saying "the damage is done."

Favre didn't appear to be in any pain when he handed off to Adrian Peterson on the first play of the game, and Peterson scored on a 75-yard run.

Favre was expected to play the entire first half against the Texans. He wasn't listed on the injury report, and none of his teammates mentioned the injury before the game.

The three-time MVP signed a $25 million deal with the Vikings on Aug. 18.

I'm guessing bruised or he'd have had a flak jacket......

Yeah, maybe "pretty good" was a bit strong - especially since I consider the average Peyton Manning game "pretty good". "Decent" would have been a better choice of words.

There was a play or two where he stepped up into the pocket and fired a bullet that brought back warm fuzzies of the Favre of old.

Andre Johnson is good. And pretty nice throw from Orlovsky - even if he made the wrong throw and should have gone to the more open receiver. Poor coverage by the Vikes.

[Rastak]

I'm guessing the fact that Carl Paymah is on the field at this point means McCauley is on the way out. I figured Paymah was signed strictly for special teams (he led the Broncos in special teams tackles the last couple years from what I heard).

I couldn't agree more. The entire half I was thinking "couldn't Sage Rodentfur do this?" Kind of sad to see the old man reduced to a check down superstar.

That throw to Percy Harvin was nice. Harvin has to be able to make that catch.

[superfan]

Looks like most of the starters are still in there on both sides of the ball.

[falco]

The difference is, Favre is just a one year rental. Even if he takes them to the big game, where are they next year? If Rosenfels is Favre's equivalent, then maybe he can be your guy for awhile.

McCauley with the pick. :)

[packerbacker1234]

Looks like Favre will get 1 more series. I haven't been blown away, but what I am seeing is exactly what the vikings wanted at the position: Stability.

Favre hasn't forced anything, had a nice looking pass off the tips of Harvin's fingers, and he looks just really comfortable being back in this offense.

With that decent defense and arguably the best running game in the entire NFL, people are getting it right. Game manager. That is all #4 really has to do. He'll still throw some bad picks this year, but maybe he has enough left to counter act it with some 2 minute drives to win the game, or with a few big plays.

Honestly, I understand why Favre may have wanted to go to minnesota outside of playing hte pack: They are a great fit for where he is in his career.

[superfan]

Wow, Favre is still in there. Why?

Favre looks pretty good so far since I've started watching, but the bspn guys are ott.

Maybe for a year or two.

The problem I have with the Vikings is that they refuse to stick with a QB. Sometimes you just have to go out and develop a guy. They'd start T-Jack and then pull him after a number of games. They traded for Sage and then they went out and got Favre. Stop renting guys and get a franchise QB! Yes, you may go through a rough patch for a year or two, but guys need time to develop. It just never seemed like the Vikings were 100% committed to T-Jack. Find a guy AND STICK WITH HIM!

Maybe Rastak feels differently.

[MOBB DEEP]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarve of old ? Solid play, good generalship of the game, will this guy ever slow down ? :roll:

Ehh, it's preseason, that's how it goes. Difficult to take much from these games. I doubt NFL coaches would make a roster decision based on that one bank shot pick.

[Rastak]

Wow, Favre is still in there. Why?


Because he likely won't play Friday and he missed offseason and camp. He needs the reps.

Took out two of them ! :shock: Cheep shot ? :shock: WTF ?

[falco]

I'd take out Favre now before some gives him payback.

[Partial]

I suspect they pull Favre now. It's getting nasty. Favre throws a dirty low block (which the guys leg bent all gross like) and then a vike just got F'n stuck. Time to pull the geizer.

[MOBB DEEP]

Vikes have potential to really do some damage out of the AP/Harvin Wildcat this season, although I'm not sure I would want #4 spread wide in that formation. Despite his Ironman reputation.

Well, the last drive was pretty much killed due to penalties. But, Favre was pretty sharp. Looked pretty good scrambling and keeping plays alive, and showed some real good zip and location. The one pass to Shanco(sp?) out of the endzone that was called back due to penalty was perfect location. Anywhere else and that ball is picked.

Lame block but I'm guessing his wildcat experience is rather nil.....

McCarthy ran it in GB in '07 with Driver. Before it was the Wildcat. Back then it was just MM being creative.

I think that his use of WR's in the backfield to block ('08 development) is a better/safer way to attack box count and matchups than the wildcat. I wonder who is gonna bust that out this year, be lauded as creative, and given credit for its creation.

[Scott Campbell]

[sheepshead]

I thought he played very well tonight.

Not too vanilla? Any rush he just collapsed. Maybe the worst D in the league. I'm not sure he is the leader of that team yet as was the case in New York. The difference here is he has less time in camp and I think there is a larger anti Favre group in the locker room then there was in NYC. It could all go well, but I just have a feeling an implosion is possible in Minneapolis.

[Freak Out]

I've read through the game thread stuff but have not watched the game...I keep seeing you guys say "game manager" in reference to Favre.

A twelve million dollar a year game manager? Wow.

Chump change.....these guys want to win and if Favre stinks or get hurt early they still have Rosencrapper or Jackson to rise from the ashes.

[Chevelle2]

Favre was 1/4 on passes over 10 yards. Teams are gonna start playing closer to the line of scrimmage, and more intermediate, and he is gonna have to start going deeper.

[Fosco33]

It all makes sense now... :lol:

"Two weeks ago,'' Brett Favre said, walking out of Reliant Stadium late Monday night, "I was weed-eatin.' I mean, to come out here and move around this way and make a few throws, I'm pretty happy with it.''

[Pugger]

I didn't see much of the game (hate Bf in that hideous purple getup). But I have question to those who watched it: is MN that good or is Houston that bad?? Is this the same MN team that was beaten by KC last week?

Things that may give you a better indiciation of how the game played out:

-Houston missed alot of tackles on MIN receivers
-Chester Taylor was MINs leading receiver (shows you Favre was in checkdown mode a lot)
-Favre was 1/4 over 10 yards
-Favre managed the game well, but thats all he did, manage.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Houston has run defense issues. New Orleans ate them up and it's a concern for them. I was pretty sure that AP and Co were going to eat them up on the ground. So it was a bad matchup for Houston to play against that good of a run team. Even taking out AP's 75 yd run, MN avg well over 4 ypc (I'm not counting Rosenfels kneeldowns at the end of the game).

Uh, MN beat KC last week. Berrian didn't play and he is their deep threat. Their starting RT only played the first series(albeit a good one). Backup WR's were in by 2nd qtr. Favre managing the game is all he is going to be asked to do. Don't expect many games with over 225 yds. And Chilly always goes with the vanilla offense and defense in preseason. Not much to learn from this other that Favre getting some timing down with receivers and some work in "real" conditions.

[GBRulz]

It makes me sick seeing him in purple, but I think he actually played very well last night. It makes me feel a little better knowing that MN has really bad receivers, though! At least from what I saw last night. One of them dropped a perfectly thrown pass that should have been a TD. I think Favre is going to suffer bc he doesn't have the elite WR corp that he had in GB his last season here.

[MOBB DEEP]

WOW...lord favre's debut in purple at prime time was the highest rated pre season game EVER on espn! The game rated a whoping 6.0 :shock:

1. Nobody uses the term elite around berrian, regardless of ypc. One season of 20 ypc and less than 50 receptions doesn't make you elite.
2. Harvin. You dont' call a rookie a flat out stud, until they have proven it. If harvin is a flat out stud, then Jennings is an out of this world HOF.
3. Listen, you arent' in college anymore, and nobody cares about who your frat brother was. Not to mention that unless you actually were in the same chapter it sounds ridiculous. If KJ doesn't recognize you on the street, stop talking as if you know him or that your fraternal bond is strong.

Please let us know about your "brother" Vince when he is mailing it in again, when shaq drops a few, or they aren't cheating on their wives like McNair or Justice.

Pretty much old news by now and I am not sure if it was posted elseware so I will post it here.

Favre was fined $10000 for his Crack Back block on Eugene Wilson

Brandon Underwood was fined $5000 for his helmet to helmet hit on a defenseless player.

I dont want to get into personal issues about either of these players. I am only posting this about what players in general must think about this. What the hell man! I am not getting paid for these frinkin games and you want to fine me how much? WTF man! :shock:

[MOBB DEEP]

Over at PurplePride.org (yal should check it out since I dont know how to post link) one poster says that Favre went to a Lil Wayne concert with AD, Chester Taylor, and Mckinney. Hard to believe! But if he's reversing the trend of the so-called alienation of the yutes, it will bode well for their chemistry

Im so excited for this season that I keep telling cats at my gym "10 more days, 7 more days, it's almost time...."

So many compelling stories

[mraynrand]

I think it was a Bruce Wayne concert. Pretty lame.

Favre says that he WILL NOT jeopardize minny's success by trying to contiune his consecutive starts streak if he's hobbled and that he may not be able to play in all 16 reg season games. He says that he will "absolutely" sit out a game if he's not healthy enough to suit up...no I in team....U go boy...

63% of pollsters feel that he will NOT start every game this year...

Very interesting when you consider his legacy of toughing it out regardless

I wonder if he would sit out game at lambeau...

Favre says that his current team is "as talented" as the '96 packer squad?!

No surprise; he said pretty much said the same thing last year in NY...

Of course that speaks to parity and as we pack fans know it takes more than talent; last years GB team returned nearly ALL the starters from the nfccg squad...

[MJZiggy]

He said the very same thing the last few years in GB. I don't put too much stock in that statement any more.

[falco]

He said the very same thing the last few years in GB. I don't put too much stock in that statement any more.

In this case, he could be right. They don't have Reggie White, and they certainly don't have 1996 Brett Favre, but their defense is solid and Peterson is a force on his own.

And Favre throws another coach under the bus....

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/09/09/favre-says-mangini-should-have-benched-him/


If you read all of what was ACTUALLY said it sounded like a mutual decision to continue to play him. The player is always going to want to play and thus put a positive spin on his condition so it's up to the coach to sit somebody's ass down if he's hurt. That's kind of universal, wouldn't you say?

"I felt like I was doing the team more harm because I was missing on some throws."

What is sounds to me is that if this guy had an ounce of humility, and if he had an ounce of knowledge of what it means to be a good teammate (he lost it somewhere between 98 and now) he should have told Mangini not to play him.


And sidenote, why is he bringing up all these excuses? Almost as if he is regretting his return.....shoulder, cracked rib, now this...

[Fritz]

I did read the whole thing Rastak, and I disagree with you. The whole I-was-real-receptive-to-sitting-but, whether followed by "we decided" or "I decided" or "he decided" is a clear attempt - to me - to suggest that really, it wasn't on him.

And in a way he's right. It's not supposed to be up to him to decide. But it wasn't supposed to be up to Favre to decide when he ran back in one game during Shermy's tenure after getting knocked out practically. He threw a TD and we all lauded him, but he made the decision. If I recall correctly, Sherman didn't even know Favre had gone back out til he saw him on the field. So Favare has, in the past, seemed willing to make the decision himself.

In addition, the standard line - the one Mangini took - is to not single anyone out particularly, to not push anything off on anyone. Favre's wilingness to explain his side, as he has done so, so many times before, smacks to me of someone who wants to make it known that, well, things really aren't his fault. His lil' ol' me act is wearing thin for me.

[Rastak]

What I read was that Mangini felt he was the best chance to win and they agreed he'd give it a shot.....

Look, I have no idea what was said....I know no normal human being runs out and has surgery for the fuck of it so I'm guessing he was actually hurt as reported.

My bottom line Chevelle is that it's the COACHES job to sit an injured player....as in a guy like AJ Hawk last year.


Did any of you guys blame Favre when he was half assed with the busted thumb or when he ran out with a concussion and threw a TD before Sherman finally figured out he hadn't been medically cleared to return to the game?


Not on JSO. The coach needs to be the man to sit a guy. We'll see if Chilly has the seeds to do it if needed.


edit: Fitz, I have no idea if this dude is making a bunch of excuses, I only know that the coach has to shut him down and he ended up having surgery.

I also know he cries like Dick Vermeil......

All Ty can say is i read mangini's quotes...classy.

Bert Favre: not so classy.

Brett is a teenager, needs someone to tell him what to do. How old is he again?

I like how plays it off that he knew he was hurting team and he was receptive to not playing, but the brain trust basically went with him, as if Brett calmly said to them, "guys, i'm really hurting, i think it is best that i sit and see if i can heal...we are what, 8-3 right now, we just knocked of the last undefeated team...so, i think i should take it easy...see how i feel in a week or two and be strong for the last 3 games and the playoffs....what?...no, you want me to start...well, i don't know...i really dont' think it is best, but if you guys do..well, i'll suck it up for the good of the team."

BTW, Ras...i got additives that will get you 20% better mileage. Don't need that...well, i got some pills that will increase your dick (i know it is already large, but..can it ever be to large).

Bert Favre: not so classy.



C'mon Ty, u shouldnt pile on. Tannenbaum admitted HE was at fault NOT lord.....

[RashanGary]

I could see Favre setting up an exit strategy. At the very least, he's setting up an excuse.


Favre is all about himself. If that team starts going down, Favre will not go down sticking with his guys. He will not go down with dignity. He will become a cancer. He will quit on that team.

Right now, the only thing saving Favre from total disaster is the Vikings DL and AP staying healthy. Gus Frerotte is good enough to lead that team to the playoffs. If Favre as good as Frerotte though? We'll find out.

You are an apologist. How do you know it was intentional? Not like he hasn't thrown people under the bus before..javon, campen, etc.

I can MAYBE give you the unintentional under the bus...but, i'll never give you the lie. There is no way Bert was receptive to sitting down..not after they just beat the last undefeated team, were 8-3 and he was the toast of the country.

I'll tell you what a woman said to me after i tried to explain after i hurt her feelings (work situation) when i said it wasn't my intent.."intentions don't matter, actions do."

Intentions are subject to interpretation by others. They can be questioned/disputed. The can also languish, never acted upon. Actions are people stepping up, attempting to walk their talk. While action itself is admirable, few people follow through and act with attention to outcomes. It is the outcomes of our actions that matter most. We know who we are and what we mean to do -- but it is the outcomes of our intentions and actions that determines what we mean to others.

I can understand your point and can admit that he did. However, you HAVE to admit it wasnt intentional; he just talks too darn much. Just SHUT UP brett

You are an apologist. How do you know it was intentional? Not like he hasn't thrown people under the bus before..javon, campen, etc.

I can MAYBE give you the unintentional under the bus...but, i'll never give you the lie. There is no way Bert was receptive to sitting down..not after they just beat the last undefeated team, were 8-3 and he was the toast of the country.

I'll tell you what a woman said to me after i tried to explain after i hurt her feelings (work situation) when i said it wasn't my intent.."intentions don't matter, actions do."

Intentions are subject to interpretation by others. They can be questioned/disputed. The can also languish, never acted upon. Actions are people stepping up, attempting to walk their talk. While action itself is admirable, few people follow through and act with attention to outcomes. It is the outcomes of our actions that matter most. We know who we are and what we mean to do -- but it is the outcomes of our intentions and actions that determines what we mean to others.

“It’s not who you are underneath, it’s what you do that defines you.”

Too esoteric for us jockish , dumb-as-rocks Ques TY....u sound like my Queen; makes sense that you used a female co-worker's sensibilities to illustrate :lol:

Illustrate: No, that was me explaining.

Just read the last quote and think about it.

Or, remember the old maxim..the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Or, for you, since you talk about church...is it enough for you to read and think about jesus...or are you suppose to act.

[MOBB DEEP]

you almost jinxed the wolverine

i understood what you were sayn man..

but jesus/god knows your heart whereas man doesnt know your heart OR intent oft times; thus, we judge each other more harshly than god does (e.g., "classless," traitor, scum, media whore, etc..)

favre (lord) is a saint so stop judging him..... :)

[MOBB DEEP]

Yo, did nixon REALLY say that in your sig?

jesus may know your heart, but he still asks you do stuff. What would jesus say about someone who thought about doing good deeds but never got around to doing any?

If favre is a saint, is it wrong of me to hope he dies on the field so he really can become a saint?

[MOBB DEEP]

GNR...LOL...

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Yup.

Kinda makes repubs head explode....abortion, nixon....obama...connect the dots. :wink:

Yep. BDP was smart.

Here's one for you...don't think you'll know it:

The CIA is looking for you
The KGB is smarter than you think
Brainwash mentalities to control the system
Using TV and movies - religions of course
Yes, the world is headed for destruction
Is it a nuclear war?
What are you asking for?

Course i liked the fun stuff as well:

First buffalo girl go round the outside
Excuse me while i dance
Ha ha ha ha
Sing along
hey dj

If you know the connection tween these 2..major props.

Sigh. Back in the day....fistfights, no guns....do anything, just don't step on my suede pumas!

so true.

All we can do now is beat up our bitches!

[Pugger]

Since when does the GM make that list? I thought that was the coach's responsibility.

I thought so too. Maybe BF was bringing this little item of info out because Mangini is the HC of the team that will be pounding BF's old behind into the turf today?

You honestly think the Brown stains have a snow balls chance in hell of winning,much less pounding anyone into the ground.

[gex]

All right, I get the Queen @ Browns on my local Fox for the noon game.
I'm pumped up!!
Anybody else starting The Favre,All Day, Longwell,Min. de?
Lets get this party started!! :D :D :D

[Scott Campbell]

It was nice of the NFL to facilitate Farve's extended summer vacation with an extra pre-season game.

[MOBB DEEP]

His teammates named Lord captain!

That's whats up...!

[The Shadow]

ZZZZZZZZZ......................................... ..........

[MOBB DEEP]

M. Faulk is appauled that Brett missed all of camp and the team voted him captain. He says it makes him wonder whats going on with this team.

Mooch, of course, thinks it's great that they're sayn we dont care how long he's been here, he's our leader....

I agree with the latter b/c it should make brett feel good and motivated/committed. And at this point in his career he is sorta a head case...

[falco]

Have to say....Good Luck Brett Favre! :tup:

Right, because wins for the other teams in our division don't affect us at all...

[falco]

I don't hate Favre. I hate our division rivals.

[mission]

Some of you are pathetic excuses for Packers fans.

If you've ever masturbated while thinking of Bert, then you really have no place here ...

[MOBB DEEP]

DAYUM...!

AD is the leader of the team period. Brett being a captian is a joke.

Agree. Won't like Favre again until he retires. Certainly, I will never wish a Viking QB 'good luck.' Never.

Favre's presser was good stuff

Taking blame for mis ques etc...

Giving mad dap to the teammates that VOTED him captain

Said he had a "blast" today....

2. Harvin. You dont' call a rookie a flat out stud, until they have proven it. If harvin is a flat out stud, then Jennings is an out of this world HOF.


Mark my words Ty

And brett is endearing himself to him too....


...thus Harvin is leading the team in receptions on way to ROY

I just came from there. Flacco had some nice throws but was more inconsistent than the announcers were talking about after the game. The score should have been obscene.

Not relevant as we are discussing harvin, not results of the vikes.

Nah....although I didn't realize Dilfer posted a 93.5 qb rating that regularly.

That can be the mark Rodger's shoots for...
