the refs will protect Favre tonight.

[Snowball]

If the preseason is any indication, and with the controversy surrounding
last year's NFC championship game, we can expect the officials
to protect Favre tonight. Saints will be penalized for "close calls"
roughing the passer and late hits.

something to consider.

see this video. Pat Kirwan, senior writer for NFL.com
says the same exact thing.

yeah, the league needs a healthy favre

[Snowball]

plus no D. Sharper for NO.

[infamousbacardi]

I do agree with your premise...but that won't help him!! They know they can beat him if they attack him...you better believe the pressure will be flying tonight!!

[JoMoney2785]

ya they will def be coming after brett tonight, no doubt about that. they will force him to throw to a mediocre receiving core

[linedrivr]

Minnesota's D will get after Brees tonight

I believe Minny's D line gets constant pressure on Brees tonight and makes him get rid of the ball quicker than he would like. If they can force him into a couple mistakes, Minny could very well win this game straight up. I like Vikes plus the points in this one.

Not a snowballs chance in hell that they do.

every ESPN talking head and internet expert says SAINTS cover

Minny did that last yr, im sure the saints OL has watched the tape last years game at least 5 times this week, payton is a great HC, his team will be ready tonight, their OL is very good too, they should do a better job than last yr

What's worse? videotaping a practice or intentionally trying to hurt the other teams quarterback?

[Patrick McIrish]

Nice to see Favre was in midseason form, LOL. Saints easy. If he spent as much time practicing as he did chasing attention he might have won something in the last decade or so. Chump.
