Vikings Love in Vegas

After watching GB three times already this season it is hard to say their defense is anything more than mediocre at best. They looked pretty good against Chicago but Cutler kept throwing them the ball. Seemed like Favre has a lot of time to make plays and it also seemed like guys were open a lot. While they surely wanted to limit Peterson, dont forget he tweaked his leg on the fumble play and did not play nearly as much afterwards. Their offensive line is offensive.

I agree with everything that you are saying here. At the end of the day, a secondary is only as good as a pass rush allows it to be. They have 5 sacks so far and thats not a deceiving stat like in the case of the Jets where they are constantly putting pressure on the QB but just not getting there. Favre had all day to throw it and would have easily thrown for 300 yards if they werent up by two touchdowns in the third quarter.

Green Bay has plenty of room for upside. The 3-4, especially capers's version, is complicated and it is a giant shift from previous years. So far they have stunk though and they stunk last night.

If Brett doesnt get them down the field the posession before, we aren't talking about any missed field goals. He can't play defense.

When baltimore took the lead, I thought the game was over. Favre got them back down the field for the winning score. Give credit where it is due.

He may very well play like crap for the rest of the year but the last two games he has played very well and so far this season he has played like an upper echelon QB. Is that not an accurate assessment?
