"Three-interception games by quarterback Brett Favre this season."
He has been average this year. He sucks at Home this year, compare to other years.
Vick who is not fully developed into a complete player YET!
Had 14 t.d's another 3 t.d's rushing. Oh ya 900 yards rushing as well.

over all, Vikings offence is superior. It's the Viking's defence that is going to kill them.

Since you're talking about football, I'd just like to thank the Patriots for firing Pete Caroll. He's put together back to back teams that have an even better record than the 1978-79 Trojans (78 had one loss and a shared National Title, 79 was undefeated and finished second to Alabama).

I'd like to also point out that the 79 Trojans were IMO one of the greatest collections of football talent to ever play together as a college team (besides an All Star Team).

The team had
8 Defensive linemen and linebackers that were drafted and played in the NFL.

3 starters in the Offensive backfield who started in the NFL (Paul McDonald; Charles White - Heisman, 1 Pro Bowl, 1 NFC rushing leader; Marcus Allen, Heisman, 6 Pro Bowls, 1 AFC rushing leader, inductee NFL Hall of Fame)

Featured 4 Defensive backs who played in the NFL (Jeff Fisher; Joey Browner - 6 Pro Bowls; Dennis Smith - 6 Pro Bowls; and Ronnie Lott - 10 Pro Bowls, inductee NFL Hall of Fame)

Most dominant of all, 8 Offensive linemen and one tight end played in the NFL including: Roy Foster (2 Pro Bowls); Don Mosebar (3 Pro Bowls); Anthony Munoz (11 Pro Bowls, inductee NFL Hall of Fame); and Bruce Matthews *(14 Pro Bowls, future inductee?)

* didn't start in 1979

Sorry, can't help myself. Still celebrating the Orange Bowl.
