I dunno know I kind of blame Farve

Which is what most people would do when the QB doesn't get the ball into the RBs breadbasket

 

[dickey moe]

Bush muff.

I see what you did there...

Smelled it coming.

 

[encaitar]

Fumble was on Favre. You're RB is supposed to be looking for the hole. QB is supposed to jam the ball in his gut. If the ball hits the gut, it's on the RB if it doesn't, it's on the QB.

 

[Tau837]

Awful handoff.

That was Peterson's fault.

Or not.

Aikman's comment while watching the replay in slow motion:

It hit his [Peterson's] right arm. And what happens is as a running back if you don't open up the pocket then it makes it very difficult to try to put it in. And it looked like Adrian was so concerned about where he was going to go with the football that he didn't give Favre a real clean pocket to put the football into.

 

[CrossEyed]

You guys need to go back and watch that again. There was no room for Favre to get the ball into ADs breadbasket.

 

[Otis]

I was a painfully average high school QB for 3 years, but even I know the FIRST thing you learn is to jam the ball into the RB's gut.Favre did not do that.

Thanks, Montana.

 

[McJose]

Why hasn't Zow taken the blame for that fumble?

Aikman is a QB. He never blames the QB for calls like this.

Don't you mean Zeaux?

 

[Jobber]

I had just got done telling my son that the Bush fumble "could be the game changer". And then the Vikes pissed away an easy score.

Favre did not do that.

I believe it. If you watch it AP closed his arms before he got it.

 

[Saints-Man]

A great game by both teams. Bush should have fair caught that ball, but Minnesota's fumble offset his mistake.

Besides that, good offense, good defense by both teams.

 

[ChrisCooleyFan]

Childress is calling a terrible gameplan they need to feed ADP more.

 

[Otis]

I just think the Saints need to outscore the Vikes here in the second half if they wanna take this one.

 

[Otis]

Childress is calling a terrible gameplan they need to feed ADP more.

Please god.

 

[Raider Nation]

People with the over have to be pissed/nervous. That should have been in the bank by now.

 

[sho nuff]

LOL at the fighting over whose fault the fumble was.

Bit of both there...Peterson needs to be a bit more open for the handoff...Favre as the QB needs to make sure it gets stuffed in there.

 

[encaitar]

Well, this one looks like it's gonna be a dogfight until the end. I expect both head coaches to pull out all the stops on offense this half. As a Vikings fan that makes me nervous. Chilly pulling out the stops...

 

[rzrback77]

for the first hallf

Vikes have 41 offensive plays for 189 yards

Saints have only 25 plays for 161 yards .... Saints doing more with less, but Vikes controlling the time of possession

Thats what she said.

 

[ChrisCooleyFan]

I just think the Saints need to outscore the Vikes here in the second half if they wanna take this one.

I was thinking the opposite

 

[rzrback77]

Only one play for 20 yards by the Vikes and two over 20 by the Saints, one the 38-yard pass sun by Pierre Thomas

 

[Ghost Rider]

This game is reminding me of how utterly clueless both of these head coaches are at times. Hard to believe one of them will be coaching in the Super Bowl in two weeks.

 

[Otis]

REVERSE JINX ACTIVATED

GO BRETT.

 

[Statorama]

Childress is calling a terrible gameplan they need to feed ADP more.

Coach Payton isn't calling his best game either. He loves those cute little fake reverses and plays that take forever to develop. You can't run those creaky plays against a very fast defense like this.Brees has missed a couple of guys deep early, otherwise the Saints come out for the opening kickoff in the second half with a 2 TD lead.Thus far, really exciting game.

 

[Otis]

God effing bless you Roby.

 

[Sand]

Great start!

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Dave Thomas!

 

[Hov34]

Wheels are about to fall off.

Wheels are about to fall off.

This.Vikings implosion imminent. Saints scoring machine revving up and looking scary.

 

[McJose]

To this point: Three touchdowns and three extra points for the Saints. Two touchdowns and two extra points for the Vikings.

 

[phrozen]

TD Saints!

Looks like your bookie won't break your legs after all.

 

[Ghost Rider]

'Bout time Payton wised up. Pierre Thomas is by far their best RB. Feed him the ball when you insist on running it.

From your lips to god's ears, GB.

Thanks for the recap. Never would have deduced this otherwise.

 

[Popinski]

Great start by the Saints (and horrible for the Vikings). This could lead to a runaway 2nd half...

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

wow not even close on that td score... should have challenged it.... we all saw what could happen on hand off plays

 

[sho nuff]

Runaway? Are some of you just wishful thinking?

Minny has too many weapons to think they will just get run all over...even by the Saints.

 

[Raider Nation]

GO VIKES!

 

[McJose]

Kluwe has 4 punts with a 39 yard average.

Morstead has 3 punts with a 48 yard average.

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

Peterson really needs to sort that out

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

cripes whats up with ADP...

 

[Big Rocks]

Damn Adrian

 

[HellToupee]

old butterfingers

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Need more Chester Taylor.

 

[SPM]

now that one was on Peterson

 

[Matt_The_Fantasy_Master]

AP

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

AD needs some thuper gleaux

 

[parasaurolophus]

What a choker.
