Safe to say the Vikings offense looked like shit. The calls were confused, the blitz pickups were nonexistent, the receivers couldn’t figure it out and Brett Favre sure as hell wasn’t on the same page… with anybody. He looked like he may have been on a page in another book somewhere in Hattiesburg. He was throwing off his back foot, throwing to spots where there were no wide receivers and seemingly trying to hit the roof with some of those passes. The only guy that didn’t suck was Adrian Peterson, but he’s just one fumble away from solidifying an offensive (pun intended, 100%) performance reminiscent of the Bears under John Shoop (shivers). Favre looked unprepared, overwhelmed and out of sync.

It looked almost as if Favre missed all of training camp, most practices thereafter and hardly got on the field in the pre season, but that would just be ridiculous… oh wait, nevermind. Can we be done with the line of thinking that says Favre doesn’t need training camp? When you play on the same team with the same guys for 10 years, maybe, but not with this team and not when you’re close to getting a discount at the movie theatre. Bernard Berrian runs a route like a wounded dog and Percy Harvin spent his training camp in a dark room with a cold wash cloth on his forehead. It takes time for a QB to build a rapport with his wide receivers, just ask Jay Cutler (insert aggressive and over protective comment here). Simpler said – Favre didn’t know where they were going to be, and they didn’t know where Favre wanted them to be. It probably doesn’t help that Favre most likely gets to the line, says “fuck it” and does whatever the hell he wants. Whatever, you pompous bastard, I hope your time on the ranch was relaxing because it looks like you’re in for a long season. 5 of the Vikings’ next 7 games are against playoff teams so, as a Bears fan, this will be fun to watch.
