Is it just me or did Peterson have the quietest 19 carry game of his carreer? I can't understand why with a depleted receiving corp they didn't go to him more. -
Saints D was pretty stiff all night. Didn't allow the Vikings past the half until just before halftime.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

So much for me telling my friends to take the Saints and the over... definitely did not expect 14-9 from that game! Are the Vikings D that good, or the Saints O that tired?<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Does Chilly not have balls to tell Favre to hand the ball off to AP?Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. -HomerComment

I think he just looks up at Favre to tell him, and gets lost in a Wrangler commercial.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

I don't think he fumbled. That's a streak of one.Originally posted by H Tower View PostLife is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Shiancoe was dynamite though. Excellent game for a TE."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

Both offenses were very imbalanced. The Saints didn't run in the first half then did almost nothing but run in the second half."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

We were atrocious and deserved to have lost by more. The fact that we still had a great chance of winning it after they missed the field goal attempt in the 4th is just silly.
Rice can't come back early enough. I can definitely understand why Favre, who had a shocker apart from the touchdown pass, didn't just keep giving AP the ball in the second half - that's all he did for the whole of the first, but it seems that he didn't trust any of the other options enough to give the Saints' D a genuine doubt as to where the ball was going each play. The whole side looked completely one-dimensional on offence.
As for all the stupid fouls we gave away....
Having said that, I thought Porter was great again, both attacking the ball and intelligently attacking space to reduce Favre's options.

Favre only trusts Shank, it seems. This is a reason why his whole not wanting to do training camp did the Vikings a disservice. Favre should have worked something out where he could have done just enough time in camp to establish a rhythm with the receivers. That's really what missing camp does... it hurts the young guys who need to get some reps with their QB."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

I would also like it if Brees stopped doing his 'Kill' plays quite so often. In the second half it seemed like he'd shout 'Kill' before every single snap....
Pick play, get ball, throw ball or give to runner. Maybe I'm too much of a traditionalist, but it's not clever to have one dumb gimmick and repeat it ad infinitum.

He's calling an audible when he does that. What's wrong with that? Apparently, the Vikes had paid attention to game tape and were coming out in the right sets and Brees didn't like it. Why would he run a play if the defense is set to stop it? He had better audible!Originally posted by duke o' york View PostI would also like it if Brees stopped doing his 'Kill' plays quite so often.

(of course, he could just have been ****ing with the Vikings D; making them think he read their defense and audibled out of it so that the Vikings would then have to adjust, etc. such is the mindgame/chess of football)
And you must really hate Peyton Manning then
