to this point

Vikes 15 passes fpr 89 and 8 rushes for 43

Saints 12 passes for 120 yds and 5 rushes for 24

Looks about right. I'm actually a little surprised that the Vikings are passing so well. I thought they'd struggle a little more because of being on the road, they seem to be handling that well.

They are using the huge cushions by Saints DBs the refs faux penalty flags.

meh, McCray was iffy, in fact I loved Payton's reaction. "Do it again!!"R. Gay was a hold. Good call.

Prediction: Saints score a TD before the half and the Vikes implosion begins shortly thereafter.

Did the mirror mirror mirror on the your wall tell you that?

This is what happens when you have money on the game.

Unless this is a reverse jinx attempt,

 

[Otis]

Wow a good call. Didn't think I'd see one this game.

 

[huskers15]

ahh horse manure.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Nice stop there. Vikes seem more committed to playing defense than the Saints.

Jets-Colts was way more fun. This is

Brett Favre completes that throw to 51

 

[ICON211]

Leber just prevented an INT.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Another stop by the Vikes defense.

 

[huskers15]

short

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Shark move is to go for it

 

[ATC1]

Come on Payton.

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

Poor Shockey, he is trying to fight through the pain. He does not want to see another team he plays for win a Sb while he watches on the sideline.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Leber just prevented an INT.

 

[CrossEyed]

Almost a really dumb play by the Vikes.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Great stop!!!

 

[huskers15]

Had em OS.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Bush on 3rd and 1? Really? That is two NO drives in a row stopped by them running on 3rd and short and getting stopped.

Any other game, Payton is putting it in Brees hands.

 

[Otis]

Yeah, they should absolutely be crushing here. You need to convert 3rd and 1.

 

[sho nuff]

Had em OS.

How do you line up hoping to draw a team off...have a guy right near the center jump...and the ball not snapped?Just hoping they make contact and not going to snap?

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Had em OS.

I don't understand this.....you line up to go for it for the sole purpose to TRY and get them offsides. If the center sees anyone cross that line, he should immediately snap the ball. That guy on the Vikings line easily crossed that line and the center should have snapped the ball for an easy first down.The bottom line is the guy didn't have the stones to snap it in case it didn't get called and I guess wanted them to make contact for the no brainer call but they should have had a first down there.

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

DUMB DUMB DUMB

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Nice.

 

[bakes]

That was brilliant, Saints.

 

[Otis]

Dumb ###.

 

[sho nuff]

Once he muffs is it not live again?

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Hard to flag a guy for putting a hit on someone who just fumbled the ball.

Not when he is taking a knee

My lord man, check the replay. He was on the ground, ball secured with his knee down giving himself up. The guy who hit him knew he was stupid, he didn't argue. Refs are doing and excellent job.

 

[bakes]

Vikings look like they lost their first drive playbook.

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Strong hit by Vilma

And Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are lulling me to sleep here

Down by contact down?

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

I don't know, Peterson hasn't looked as good to me this year as it the last 2 seasons, anyone else think that?

Great throw by Farve, took another big hit.

 

[Otis]

Dear Saints,

A little third down defense would be nice here. You wanna play in a super bowl? Start acting like a super bowl team.

Thanks,

Oats

KRS is never sarcastic.

 

[sho nuff]

THat was new Favre vs. Old.

Looked like a quick pass that Favre would have pulled the trigger on to the inside in the past. LB would have jumped it...he saw it and threw it wide and incomplete instead.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Berrian looked open, just a high throw.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Glad that #2 overall pick is working out for the Saints.

 

[bakes]

EAUX SNAP!!!
