Week 5 Game Thread - Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints (1 Viewer)

[encaitar]

So Childress, wanting a big play of the kickoff, puts Chester Taylor in the game. #######' genius.

 

[shakeybarn]

I cant wait to listen to KFAN after this game... The fans have got to be lining up and they will be calling for Chilly's head now. This team - with all of that talent - looks absolutely lost!

the offense never really looked good tonight (nor this season), the first half gave that illusion.

 

[Tubalcane]

My opponent has Drew Brees and Adrian Peterson playing against my finished team. I still have a 15 point lead. After seeing that second return by Bush...I'm starting to believe.

LOL, I deserve that.Still how often is he touted as the man to watch in the NFL? How many amazing games has he had? In the first half of this game alone they were talking about how he didn't have the speed to best defenses in the NFL like he did in college, now all of the sudden he is the Favre of RB's.

 

[Mr. Yuk]

Go Bush! Help us get this Vikings coach staff out of here!

 

[Lehigh98]

"shaken up"

 

[baldgriff]

Sheesh and here comes TJax.....

 

[snogger]

OK.. iget it now... between having ADP on the sidelines at the end of the First half and these two Returns for TD's Childress HAS to be trying to get fired.. right??

I mean, no one is THAT stupid are they??

At the end of last season I swore I heard a POP as childress seemed to be pulling his head out.. Guess that POP was just it going in deeper..

 

[PennStater77]

So who have been more disappointing this year?

LT or ADP thus far?

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Devin Hester just said "Wow".

Disagree.

Guess again.

 

[The Ref]

Sheesh and here comes TJax.....

Honestly - I don't expect this to be a Tom Brady moment, but I'm not all that disapointed.

 

[Gadfly]

If Bush didn't stumble, this would be the greatest return performance of all time.

Good news is I just realized I do get fantasy points for his return TDs. Bad news is I'm still down by 28.

 

[StrikeS2k]

Bush >>>>>> Peterson

you may want to step back for a minute. you're now using comments made by Tony Kornheiser to defend your argument.

 

[Mr. Yuk]

Crap. Great point.And I am kinda drunk...

 

[snogger]

childress and the WR's face What?? your going to call that?? so it was blatant.. LET US PLAY!!!



SOB.. 2 WR's in the wrong area and it works

 

[joffer]

wow, odds that was actually intended for Berrian?

 

[baldgriff]

Berrian caught a big one there... FINALLY!

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

What a crazy game.

 

[Tubalcane]

oh crap...come one guys...Saints...please just run the ball.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

As Al Michaels would say, this game is officially "OVER"!!!!

IIRC that's 6-0 on MNF.

 

[yinzer]

I really like what Bush is doingBut I really want to trade him if I can get some decent guys in return

I might take back this statement about now

 

[snogger]

Berrian caught a big one there... FINALLY!

I went back in time with my DVR and rewatched it 2 or 3 times but I still couldn't comprehend that he actually caught a pass... and a TD at that..

 

[W1cked]

Saints should put Bush on KR right here

Week 6 MNF - go with the under.

 

[madviking10]

This very well could be the three alarm grabber game that kills me. I go for beating my fist on this computer desk SIX times in anger to SCREAMING YES !! one play later. My wife and kid are terrified of me so I went and gave them a hug.

 

[Zow]

Minnesota is awful

XMinnesota coaching, WRs, and safeties are awful. The rest of our team is very good.

damn, Cedric laying the wood... just needs to cover now

Oh I see - it's quantity over quality now?Those were impressive returns, regardless if he ever scores again.

 

[two_dollars]

Wow can Griffin hit

 

[W1cked]

Wow... big hit he got smoked.

Hi "me"It's 4 for 7, but... "me", there's more to the numbers. Since you asked... Bush returns punts for TDs 10.5% of the time, while Hester returns them for TDs 7% of the time. Meanwhile Bush is playing offense full-time. Meanwhile with about 4 to 5 times as many receptions doing the job Hester is also intended to do.

Hester has had the benefit of the solid Bear D, and lack of offense, while Bush has been busy scoring TDs on offense, with a matador like defense (usually) during his career.

So easy to turn numbers any which way but loose.

 

[McJose]

Fine my ###. Clean hit.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Good play...Great hit.

 

[hbkhbk]

I need two TDs from Reggie, just not from special team duties =(

 

[ChampBailey24]

Man....2nd time in 2 minutes that Griffin lays a huge hit.

 

[snogger]

I use to be that way.. I still here and will bleed purple until I die.. But since 1998 my over the top emotion on the outcome of a Viking game have come to an end..Now, if they make it to a Superbowl before I die... ... never mind...

 

[baldgriff]

That was a huge hit. LOL at the announcers saying it should be fined. My gosh - it is football!

 

[Facecow]

Jared Allen stat line so far:

1 tackle

1 pass knockdown

Thanks Jared.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Dear Saints WR - you may want to blog downfield.

#19 with the lookout block. Meachem?

 

[Tubalcane]

11 points and holding...this is painful

 

[joffer]

Frerotte was definitely looking right on that TD pass, not at Berrian on the left

 

[PranksterJD]

Dear Saints WR - you may want to blog downfield.

Henderson, though the way Meachem steers away from contact it was a solid guess.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Fine my ###. Clean hit.

Tackling is illegal now. People could get hurt.
