Happy Halloween, Vikings.
When the Patriots host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday for a Halloween showdown in Foxboro, all eyes won't be on the Patriots. Those spooky eyes will be directly on Vikings QB Brett Favre and WR Randy Moss.
And you can bet the Patriots' defense will be looking to haunt those two guys.
If you're a Patriots fan, aren't you all jacked up for this Sunday's game?
And there's no doubt it's because of the story lines that Favre and Moss have created on their own.
Well, we know about Favre and his photography abilities, but now this "injury" is really creating a sideshow. And Favre has always like the attention directly on himself. Will he play, won't he play? Of course he's going to play, it's all about him. His ankle is messed up, I guess. But he might play? Well, it can't be that bad, right?
Pats fans want Favre to play anyway. Favre gives the Pats the best chance to win. Yes, I said it. Mr. Favre is an interception machine. He's so gutsy ...blah, blah, blah. He's a gunslinger who forces the ball into double- and triple-coverage a lot. So he's not that smart at protecting the ball, and that's been well documented over the years. You can bet your house that he'll throw one, two or even three picks the Patriots' way if he plays. And you'd like your chances if he did that, right?
And welcome home Randy Moss. You got your wish, and Bill Belichick traded you away. Hope you enjoy your new contact because that's all you really cared about anyway. I have no issues with you as the player, but when you were constantly yapping about wanting to get a new deal and taking away from the success of the team, you completely lost me and then I purposely lost my New England Patriots Randy Moss jersey.
But the Pats aren't afraid of you, either. Yes, you can still run the deep route with the best of them, but we know you get really frustrated with double-coverage. And the Pats will be doing that to you this Sunday. Plan on a cornerback playing bump-and-run, and then a safety over the top of you at all times. Do you think Belichick will let you beat him? Not a chance. The Pats will probably even let you go over the middle, but there will be a price to pay. And we all know you don't like to take hits over the middle. So what are you going to do Randy?
The Patriots are really looking forward to you guys enjoying Halloween New England style. And that means a helmet full of candy and a long trip back to Minnesota with another loss to your record.
Happy Halloween from Patriots Nation.
