I'd be tempted to agree about the Vikings, if only their offense wasn't so anemic at this point. It's about time to go back to the strategy the team employed in 2008, which is to give the ball to Peterson all the time.

The problem is, is Peterson over his fumbilitis stage? It's still up in the air that A.P has conquered his fumbling issue.

Things seem much better so far this year, though. *knocks on wood*

And I think Minnesota isn't confident that he had. Brett threw the ball a lot in the loss to the Dolphins and got picked 3 times.

I think the same applied with the Colts/Texans game. Normally Minnesota and Indy are more balanced offensively than that.

 

[Sweet Candace]

I think Indy has always been focused on Peyton. Minnesota is more the balanced team than Indy is.

Oh no doubt on that, Peyton is the Colts. But It seemed like too much emphasis was put on Favre/Manning in their games they lost, the Imbalanced offense contributed to them loosing. They tried too hard to make things happen via the pass attack.

 

[donavannj]

Didn't Indy fall behind early? I wasn't really keeping track of the score for that Houston game.

 

[Sweet Candace]

Indinapolis isn't a running team. And no matter how much experts gush over Arian Foster, Houston isn't a running team either.

 

[donavannj]

Edgerrin James and Joseph Addai would beg to differ on that some. Sure, their strength may be passing, but that's not to say they're less balanced offensively than other teams in the league now.

 

[Sweet Candace]

They were good RB's, but like you said, Indy's strength is in their passing.

 

[RED BARON]

Huge game Sunday vs Falcons. Can't wait. Geaux Saints!!

 

[Sweet Candace]

Wouldn't count out the Falcons in this game. Ryan and Brees should have good games as both secondaries aren't the best in the league.

Two 'upset specials'. I think Tampa Bay and Dallas will shock the teams they face and win extremely close.

 

[RED BARON]

Can't believe we lost. Ugh Hartley missed an easy FG in OT.

I was amazing this week so far.

 

[Sweet Candace]

I did much better this week. Going into tonight's GB-CHI game, I'm 10-5. Far cry from the last two weeks were I was .500 and sub .500 in picking the games. Honestly surprised Dallas easily knocked around Houston. Many people said Dallas didn't have a chance. Well, they were all wrong.
