That's what Brett Favre said when he first joined the Vikings.Sadly for Minnesota fans, some of the pieces have been falling out, and maybe are getting lost, as was evident last night in Chicago.Brett Favre and Brad Childress were looking to show there is no problem between the two, but there were plenty of problems with the entire Vikings gameplan at the start.Jay Cutler leads the league in interceptions, but you couldn't tell, hitting Greg Olsen in the 2nd quarter to make it 13-nothing Bears.The Vikes would trail by 16 at halftime, but come out of the lockers with a different mindset, as Adrian Peterson gets Minnesota on the board...extra point would be blocked, and that would be huge.After another Cutler touchdown toss, Favre finds Visathe Shiancoe to keep it a ten point game.A Ryan Longwell field goal makes it a one score game and Adrian Peterson will tie it up at 23 going in from two-yards out.Danieal Manning returns the ensuing kickoff deep into Vikings territory, and on the 2nd play Cutler goes to Earl Bennett on the 20-yard strike, 30-23 Chicago.Favre would have one last drive in him, as he floats one to Sidney Rice with less than a minute to knot it at 30...that extra point is huge because it's going to overtime.Bears start with the ball, but Robbie Gould misses on a 45-yard field goal attempt to give it back to Minnesota, but Brett Favre swings it to Adrian Peterson who fumbles it.Next play Cutler to Devin Aromashodu who burns Antoine Winfield to go in for a 39 yard touchdown.Bears win 36-30, and don't look now, but the Vikes are in trouble.
