Brett Favre is a mere 90 yards away from breaking 200 for the season. You might be asking, are the Vikings really paying $12M this season for a guy who needs to almost double his output just to break the mundane 200 yard barrier? You bet they are. It's pretty sad when I have to watch my college team to see what a passing game looks like, but that's the world we live in.
Of course I should mention that Detroit's pass defense is absolutely terrible, so it's very possible Favre will have a pretty good day. Then again, Cleveland was no great shakes either.
I should also mention that Detroit played their two best games, by far, last season against Minnesota. So don't say I didn't forewarn you if Detroit pulls off the unthinkable and wins this game. It has scared me ever since I saw the schedule. Detroit is not going to lose forever, and week 2 seems like a prime candidate to get that monkey off their back. They are doing everyone a favor by starting Matthew Stafford, though. I like Stafford quite a bit but he's not ready to play. There's no shame in that; there have been a lot of successful QBs who weren't ready to play right away. It's Detroit's fault for putting him in this position. He threw some bad INTs last week and I'm sure that will continue.
