Well, if you've been watching the pregame
a conservative estimate is about 8,888.

They just called the Vikes the best defensive line in the nfl.
Seriously?

Apparently having Favre makes you best in EVERYTHING
Someone’s been drinking the kool-aid out of the Madden bus again.
Slot Machine Player was hanging around earlier.
I know Marima’s computer and TV aren’t in the same room (I know, right?), but hopefully we’ll have some company.

Ugh.
That’s why. Best D-line, perhaps. If they claimed that, I might agree. Allen and the Williams pair.
I’d still probably take the Ravens LBs and the Broncos D-backs.
Some Frankenstein-like defence THAT combination would make. Heh.
Have you ever noticed that Favre throws picks like a gunslinging little kid?

I hope he forgets where he is and just starts lobbing them to Green Bay uniforms
Once a Jet, always a Jet (unless they’re a Pat, shh).
Like you're ever going to stop Adrian Peterson on a short-yardage situation.
He’s just amazing. Can you imagine if we had that guy?

I agree w/ you about Maroney, by the way.
We’d be better off admitting that we got our own version of Reggie Bush. The poor man’s Reggie Bush, but still.

Well-designed play on that TD.
He had like three options, and I think the D was really happy for a second when they thought they had Peterson bottled up.

Who got burned by Kleinsasser?
That was embarrassing, he had a head-start and still got smoked by a guy lined up at TE.
If Rodgers wins this thing
it will be because of all the years he spent studying under Brett.

They'll suddenly be the best of friends and Rodger's achievements will be due to Favre
despite them not talking since 2007. Heh.
yeah, Brett can spin how he refused to mentor Rodgers
into a secret plan to teach by not teaching
Keep the faith!
Retiring, unretiring, demanding his old spot back, demanding a trade, demanding a release and being abusive towards the Packers
was all Brett’s secret plan to make a man out of Rodgers. Green Bay fans should be thanking him for it.
I know ESPN is...

Most TDs for one team until you throw against that team. Also known as “Most TDs (total) before being released and being picked up by someone else”

Wildcat wildcat wildcat
Some creative o-coordinator genius might have a LOT of fun planning for a Tebow kind of player, though.
Gotta build up the next player
so they can tear him down because he didn’t live up to the hype. It’s media self-perpetuation

You know... Peterson dances like Maroney does
but the holes he gets are soooooo muuuuuuuuch bigger.
Why can’t the Pats use all their first/second/third round picks on gigantic freaky O-linesmen? I want to see that :(
Meh. The holes have a lot to do with him --
— the D tends to over-commit.

There's that, yes

That's the difference between Peterson's 5.5 yards per carry and a good 4.5
I’ll happily have 4.5 yards per run. That’s the production a Superbowl team has.
If he could catch over his shoulder he might even make a career of it

Has anyone else noticed that the media seems to be leaving off the fact that Favre retired in their stories?
Like, I’ve heard a lot of “This is the team that RELEASED HIM WHEN HE WANTED TO KEEP PLAYING! THEY DIDN’T THINK HE HAD ANYTHING LEFT IN THE TANK!”
As compared to “This is the team that didn’t let you come back after they’d promised the starting job to the kid you’d been blocking for years when you said you had nothing left in the tank.”
Hah
Usually retiring is… umm… an admission you’ve got nothing left? GOD FORBID THEY TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY.

I don't think I've ever wanted to see a big sack so much
as when Favre sits back in the pocket and the commentators start talking.

The media skewers the guy, running Favre stories and making fun of his lack of decisiveness – but put any of these guys in his presence and he could get them to do anything. He could start his own cult for crying out loud.

Well, I don't know if Min. has the best D-Line in the league,
but Green Bay’s o-line sure needs some help.

If they had another top DE
They’d be better than the Giant’s line. Two very solid tackles and Jared Allen. That’s just a little behind the Tuck/Osi/Giants show.

I agree w/Jaws on that
The league does not tackle well. DBs in particular are just horrible at wrapping up.

I have a different theory
These uniforms are made to cause tacklers to slide off of them. Doesn’t Bill Polian chair the competition committee?
Blogger at SBNation's Patriots blog, Pats Pulpit
i've noticed that
when did that happen? the switch from the full tackle to the bowling-ball approach, where the defender curls up and kind of rolls into the runner. i’ve never seen so many tacklers whiff so completely so often.
Keep the faith!

it’s real tough when there’s no rush and your receivers are wide open.

Who is the Vikes gunner nearest the camera, down the left hand side?
He’s smoked his coverage guy by a good 10 yards+ on each punt, and made a good tackle for no return on one of them.
He was fast enough to make me notice him twice
So it was an idle wonder. No biggie.

Hah!
Another ‘record’ that could only belong to Favre. Who else has spent 10 seasons as a starting QB in that division?
New Zealand might be one place where the game is shown at reasonable hour.
I must get some sleep.
It’s been fun watching with you all — sadly I won’t be lap-top ready for next Sunday’s tilt (out of town), but I’ll be there in spirit. Ciao.

noticed that too
does any of them remember the past few months? The past year? The past couple of years? how can they be completely brainwashed, seriously? I can’t believe I was complimenting this crew earlier this season. There’s not a shred of objectivity – it’s an all out love-in and they’re just happy to bask in his presence trying to outdo each other with who got to talk to him about what.
Keep the faith!
It was a love-in BEFORE they even started playing

TD!!
You know, Rodger’s stats are pretty much the same as Favre’s, but nary a whisper. And Favre hasn’t had to deal with 7 sacks.
With the implication he's not as tough as Saint Favre
because he’s not 500 years old yet.
