But- a win on the road is a win on the road. The defense could have played
better, but they really only gave up one big play (the 46 yard TD). Once
again the red-zone efficiency could have been better, but our 40%% (2 of 5)
beats their 25%% (1 of 4). I'd like to see the defense get more aggressive
but the game plan they used against Favre was pretty effective. He is very
good at beating blitzes and Haslet obviously knew that. Favre's best years
are behind him but earlier this year he lit up Detroit and New Orleans for
340 yards and 3 TD's each so he can still play. Kennedy had maybe...

No, but an offense that doesn't make mistakes (which they have) and can
score some points (getting there) combined with an opportunistic,
bend-but-don't break D is a definite formula for success. See New
England, circa 2001-2002.

NE in 2001 was the luckiest team of all time. we'd need to get that
lucky to have a prayer ourselves. not likely to happen.

Again, I mostly agree with you, but I think I see them beating the
Panthers and the Chiefs and I think they'll split with the Seahawks.
Heck, I'm gonna predict those three, plus they'll beat the Whiners, the
Cardinals, the Redskins, and the Vikings.
However, that sets them up for an 11-win season. That seems kinda high
to me - I figure them for somewhere around 9. Like the man said - it's
my prerogative.
The easiest stretch of their schedule is certainly done, though.
