Well this week 1 really showed some Big things this ball club needs to work on. When the game first started I thought wow, really, is this how it's gonna be? I mean they walked right down the field and put it in the end zone! Then the offense comes out and just stunk it up. But our defense finally settled down and looked like what I expected out of them, despite the fact that we had all safeties out there (with the exception of Winfield of course).
The offense never gained their footing, this is where I was goin in my last post, YOU HAVE TO GO TO TRAINING CAMP!!! Once again I know Favre has been in this league forever and this is his style of offense but the timing just isn't there yet and as depleted as we are at wide receiver you have to be able to hit the ones you do have on the field. Sydney Rice really screwed us with this surgery he decided to have now in stead of oh.. say.. last April, I like Rice and always have but I have to think twice now about his commitment to this team and to winning, he has to realize that although he is a talented receiver his numbers were great last year due in large part to who was throwing the ball to him. Now next year I can pretty much say with certainty that Brett Favre will not be here and if Rice can get on the field this year he's going to miss a big chunk of the season and his numbers will reflect that, so the big pay day he's looking for might be gone!! With Favre being so out of sync right now Adrian Peterson will have to reclaim his team. I feel he did a great job Thursday night even with the Saints defenders trying to go for the strip, I hope he's gotten past that fumbling thing because we need him now more than ever!
To sum this up because I'm a few days behind here, I think Adrian Peterson needs to play hard for our best chance to win. Even with the injuries we had we still held that powerful offense to only 14 points, in this game though for sure I think Sean Payton out coached Brad Childress, I hope Childress has found a way to stop that running play because that's what won the game for them!
