By Bryan Rose
Things have not started out how Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints envisioned this season. Not are they only 0-2, they’re struggling with the Minnesota Vikings at home.

Brees has been dealing with a heavy pass rush from the Minnesota Vikings all afternoon and it seems as if the Vikings are doing whatever they can to rattle the signal caller, including some rather questionable tackling techniques.
Such was on display when Drew Brees was sacked, but not in the most conventional of ways as a tandem of Minnesota Vikings players essentially body slammed the New Orleans Saints quarterback. Understandably thinking the Vikings went above and beyond, a very unhappy Drew Brees emerged from the tackle and began shoving the Vikings lineman as a referee quickly got between the two.
Soon after, both members of the Saints and Vikings began some small shoves and pushes but order was quickly restored before anything got out of hand.
Drew Brees is a pretty tame guy normally, so the fact that he reacted in the way he did not only showed some frustration but also showed he was not happy with how the Minnesota Vikings were playing the game.
How say you, FanSided? Do you think Drew Brees had the right to be unhappy with the tackle? Or was it just part of the football action?
