Monday Night Football Open Thread -- Minnesota Vikings vs. NY Jets

PrintAfter a rain delay, the Minnesota Vikings are playing the New York Jets tonight in New Jersey. It's only a few minutes into the game so far, but I think I've already seen my favorite play of the week, though it was unfortunately called back. Who expected to see Randy Moss get an end around ... then throw the ball to 41-year-old Brett Favre who then caught the ball at the sideline for a 1st down. It was awesome. It's too bad that you can't do this sort of thing because a QB would have to declare as an eligible receiver. Then again, why not declare Favre? Who would really have expected Favre to be out there catching a pass? Anyway, discuss away. This is your open thread for tonight's game, courtesy of... me.

Yeah,
they would so not be expecting Orton to catch a pass, he’d be truly wide open. Then, one key block from DT and he’s in for six. Lmfao. Actually, I almost made a typo and wrote “he’s in for sex.” And that’s what he’d get, studly Orton.
Thanks for putting the thread up!
Ok, how do our banged up Broncos beat the Jets on Sunday?
As i recall, didn’t the Jets back into the playoffs last year because the Colts sat Manning? Are the Jets overrated? I think they are. I believe our offense will rise to the occassion against the Jets. Would like to see our defense just blitz the heck out of Sanchez o every frigin play. If our special teams show up, I think we win by 10!
I think they're actually better than last year, though it's early yet to tell.
Sanchez is more confident in the offense, though still not like a veteran. LT is dangerous. Their O-Line is fairly solid. We probably won’t be able to generate much pressure. It will be hard, on our side, for Orton to get time to throw the ball. Screens and such plays may be crucial. It could be a close game. I hope it is, cause that will mean we have a chance to win. We won’t be blowing them out, I don’t think.
No question, it will be a tough game!
i agree, Jets are better this year. I would like to see us in a no-huddle offense from the opening snap. Orton was great at this in Chicago. Let’s suck the thin air out of those Jets’ lungs.
The no-huddle will work!
Don’t let em substitute or get off the field. Imo, only one better QB in the NFL than KO, at running the no-huddle offense early in the game. Suck the mile high air out of those lungs!
Yeah, you're right.
That’s what Indy does. Given our particular homefield advantage, it would seem like a great way to go.
I have been waiting for that
I don’t see us run a no-huddle very much. Try to throw them for a loop.

So...
the Patriots have apparently acquired WR Deion Branch from the Seahawks. Who the heck do the Seahawks have left at WR after dumping Houshmanzedah and Branch, and what does it say about them that they had these guys and didn’t get anything out of them. Almost Oakland-esque.
Don't they have Stokely?

So the Jets can't be this good...Farve looks bad and Moss looks worse.
It will be a long day if NY makes Orton throw under this much pressure. Also, I see that LT is dicing up the MINN defense. Our front four have their work cut out for them. Hoping to see Mays at ILB this week and Haggan replacing Ayers. Maybe a switch could do us good. Still sorry to see the Ayers headline though. He was really stepping up his game.
if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all. - -Shakespeare
Favre is good when everything goes his way!
Make him play in bad weather or under an intense pass rush, and he folds like a 40 year old suit. On the other hand, kyle Orton is like a duck in water when conditions aren’t perfect. that’s when his experience in playing for the Bears pays off! :)
Sanchez has a quick delivery

On a side note with Moss in Minnesota
The Patriots got Deion Branch from the Seahawks for a 4th rounder in 2011.

But, our injuries suck more..
Going to be an interesting game next week.
Do you think Sanhez is savvy enough to pick on Cox the way everyone else is?

Really don't know if the tape confirms this
But the Jets don’t seem to be afraid of this Vikings pass attack. Seems they feel at ease stuffing the run right now.
That is because
They are like 4th in the run and against the run.

Ok , now we know our game plan!
We’ll throw the ball on every play! Why bother with the run! No-huddle offense and we pass on every play. Every play finishes in bounds and keeps the clock running. Let’s suck the mile high air out of those polluted east coast lungs!
It really could work. We don't need to run.
Ask Mike Leach…… the Mad Scientist. It will work in the NFL!

Jets have an O-line that knows how to run block
Our linemen could use some lessons from them so we could start running the ball too.

What's the deal with Cro?
I keep hearing how the Jets have the best DB’s but he stunk every time SD played us. I don’t get it.

They're just hyping free agents as part of building hype for games, I'd say.
I don’t think of him as being all that exceptional.
Me neither.
I haven’t seen anything this year from him that is impressive. He had one lucky year and that’s it.

he's just an over-aggressive CB
He gets a lot of picks since he is good at jumping routes… Problem is, for every pick he gets, he gets burned a dozen times. Unfortunately, box scores only show picks, not times a CB gets toasted, so he’s generally considered to be a good CB by those who are fairly unintelligent.
One thing I will credit him with though, is he’s in the perfect defense for his (limited) abilities. Cromartie’s weaknesses can be easily masked and he can play to his strengths in a high pressure defense like the Jets. That’s why in SD as soon as their pass rush went downhill, so did Cromartie.
I can see that you are right

Favre getting none of those plays

Horrible clock management by the jets. They’re going to have to give the ball back to Favre with almost 2 minutes to play and down by only 2.
Almost offsets the stupid wasted timeout and no extra point by Chidlress.

Well, what looked like a crappy game turned into a decent one in the 2nd half.
Thanks for the show, Favre.

I'll second that.
It has played out time and again.

And one of my fantasy teams has the same record as the Broncos.
