The New Orleans Saints Vs Minnesota Vikings,1st Round Playoff, Live from the Louisiana Superdome (1 Viewer)

[The General]

Or the creaking old weight of old franchises and brands, desperately trying to stay behind the curve thirty years or so of the declining demand for their original, mass-prodcued product

I don’t think I really need BK or Bud Light. But sign me up for a ride in the Ford (first time I have ever said that).

Cook clearly running scared.   Didn't let anyone touch him on that TD.

 

[need2know]

Go vikes!

 

[gianmarco]

Play clock reviewable in 2020. Book it.

This is getting old. Going to do this all game? Because it's dumb.

Every time I see terry bradshaw do his shtick I think he's having a stroke 

That's my take. The boys were really locker room yukking it today. Very funny to say "muy" in Spanish while partnering it with an English word with Tony Gonzales doing the essential almost cultural pinata part of the piece.

Muy funny, Jimmy.

must be hurt. dynasty owners take note 

 

[Biabreakable]

They are not getting to the line soon enough. Wasted a time out already.

It does take time to run those motions.

Cook with the TD!!!!

 

[Cjw_55106]

Great first half for MN. 

 

[Shawnky]

I didn’t realize that we were using the “it wasn’t Brees” adjustment. My bad.

No adjustment.  It was your bad.

 

[Insein]

Pretty good game. 

We'll see which Cousins shows up in the 2nd half.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Mustangs going electric, Burger King meatless, Bud Light Seltzer. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

To be fair Burger King was borderline meat and Bud Light Seltzer doesn’t sound any worse than Bud Light.

 

[Johnny B. Goode]

That's my take. The boys were really locker room yukking it today. Very funny to say "muy" in Spanish while partnering it with an English word with Tony Gonzales doing the essential almost cultural pinata part of the piece.

Muy funny, Jimmy. 

Surprised no one called them racist or insensitive. Although, I havent gone to the FFA yet to check

 

[rockaction]

They are reviewed. Just because they didn't stop the game to say it's under review doesn't mean it's not reviewed.

Yeah, I was just hoping it'd get more play on nat'l tv there but they brought on Ferreira and reviewed it from three angles so NY got it.

 

[dickey moe]

"That's the beauty of the running game."

Take note, Alvin Kamara. You might need a makeover.

Classic Vikings special teams

 

[The_Man]

Wow game changing kick return 

 

[AAABatteries]

Can the Vikings kicker not kick it out of the end zone?  I get the strategy of kicking it to the goal line but not there.

 

[The General]

What a Lutz

 

[Johnny B. Goode]

Where's @Doug B?

Just took off my new Xmas gift Saints shirt. Put on a purple polo.

Just in time.

 

[The_Man]

Wow game changing kick return 

Lol 

or not 

 

[sports_fan]

Lol

 

[belljr]

Oof

 

[rockaction]

Wow. That whole last minute. Wat?

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

More like Will Klutz amirite?

 

[Insein]

Saints are actively trying to lose this.

 

[Johnny B. Goode]

Choke job

 

[Biabreakable]

Ha!!! No Good!! LOL

 

[gianmarco]

Predictions on new 2020 rules based on Saints losing? 

If this was the Saints that fumbled, we'd be having false starts reviewable in 2020

Challengeable in 2020

idk. I'm sure Saints fans and Payton will find a way to make a weird rule about it 

Play clock reviewable in 2020. Book it.

Can't wait for the 2nd half!!

 

[The General]

Drew looks like fresh French Quarter vomit. Even his completions look bad or little dink and dunk crap. 

 

[rockaction]

More like Will Klutz amirite?

Or like Good Will Hunting For A Good Leg Swing, amiriter?

 

[DocHolliday]

Dumb decision there Drew

Not sure why Brees felt the need to throw long into double coverage.   Terrible play calling and decision by Brees.   

 

[dickey moe]

That's my take. The boys were really locker room yukking it today. Very funny to say "muy" in Spanish while partnering it with an English word with Tony Gonzales doing the essential almost cultural pinata part of the piece.

Muy funny, Jimmy. 

Reminds me of an old SNL skit with Jimmy Smits where he's the new employee and all of his coworkers overly pronounce words like "bur-REEEEE-toeesss" and "een-chi-LAHHH-dassss."

 

[Johnny B. Goode]

Can't wait for the 2nd half!!

Who dat so sensitive? 

 

[Doug B]

Saints are actively trying to lose this.

Saints D games vs Vikings, what, B++ game? Maybe Vikes A- game?

Only down three, even at -1 in the turnover margin.

 

[rockaction]

Drew looks like fresh French Quarter vomit. Even his completions look bad or little dunk and dunk crap. 

Drew looked this way kind a quite bit this year. He's got this last stand, and next year has gotta be transition for the organization. Might be Teddy time, but I'm not sure he stirs the drink.

 

[sports_fan]

Can the Vikings kicker not kick it out of the end zone?  I get the strategy of kicking it to the goal line but not there.

He's surprisingly good at it, usually. 66 touchbacks on the season, tied for 3rd in the NFL

 

[Johnny B. Goode]

Saints D games vs Vikings, what, B++ game? Maybe Vikes A- game?

Only down three, even at -1 in the turnover margin.

I'd figure a B++ game from the Saints to be much better than what's going on today... 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Oh Lutz.  

 

[Tha Guru]

Saints deserve to be down.  Playing very lethargic.

 

[Shawnky]

Saints are actively trying to lose this.

2nd half team

 

[Shawnky]

Saints deserve to be down.  Playing very lethargic.

Unfortunately true.

 

[skol asylum]

I'm confused. A huge Vikings game where the opposing kicker misses a big one?

 

[Johnny B. Goode]

Saints deserve to be down.  Playing very lethargic.

if it wasnt for 2 missed calls it could be much worse:

A blown false start that resulted in a turn over and 3 points for NO

A blown defensive holding on 3rd down that resulted in a td drive by the Saints. 

refs helping out any way they can

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

To be fair Burger King was borderline meat and Bud Light Seltzer doesn’t sound any worse than Bud Light.

Someone told me they tried the meatless whopper. I asked “how was it?”  They said “it tasted exactly like a whopper.”

I said, “yeah, but whoppers are terrible. Why would I want it to taste like that?”

 

[Statorama]

I'm not afraid to say it, Brees is done.  It was a hell of a ride though.

 

[Doug B]

Didn’t want to post about this during the week ... but the Saints often lay eggs when heavily favored. And the reverse, too—rise up when they look weak.

Saints are obviously in this, but Payton and Brees have to more judicious with taking what passing yards the defense is yielding. The pushes downfield are anticipated and getting contested/defended.

 

[rockaction]

Great. Now the professional hucksters are struggling with fifth-grader jokes popular ten years ago.

Bacon! Who hates bacon?
