Game Thread: Vikings @ Saints WC Playoffs 1:05 EST FOX

He lost it when he threw that stupid pick near the end of the first half.

I was surprised the Saints didn't dominate more in the second half. Maybe I underestimated the Vikings defence?

Having a 6 ft CB guarding the 6'6 Rudolph with your season on the line is incredibly dumb

Saints need an entirely new secondary, some linemen on both sides, and a LB or two. WR is the least of all concerns.

that secondary is awful

 

[poewelch84]

Seattle for sure. Playing Seattle means the game is at Lambeau.

The game is at Lambeau no matter what even if the Eagles win you'll play the winner of the game the Vikings are heading to San Francisco.

It was nice to see Rudolph get the game winner. Way to go bro.

 

[Upinthe North]

Eagles or Seahawks...

which do you prefer...?

Hawks all the way

Defense wasn't the problem today.

I would have expected a Saints win by at least a TD if you told me the Vikings would have 20 points at the end of regulation.

The tallest DBs get is roughly 1-2 inches more... 6ft is plenty.

If Cook is healthy I think the Vikes beat New Orleans!

You're on fucking meth

Seriously though, I gots a feelin'!

I take note everytime you're wrong. And I got a lot of notes.

Seriously, you're usually the pessimist. This is the time you choose to believe?

Does the better team losing always have to be the Vikings?

I'm not a pessimist, i'm a realist!

I am seldom wrong, your notes are full of me having fun at your expense.

I get that. 6 ft is good size for a DB in most cases but not when you're guarding a TE who is 6'6.

You can't have a 6 ft CB guarding Rudolph alone in that situation. The season is on the line. You're asking to lose by leaving your corner alone by a guy who got 6 inches on him. Once Cousins didn't throw a bad ball then that is easy pitch and catch.

Had very little hope in the Saints winning it all once they didn't get that bye week.

Would love to see if the Saints front office is finally smart and draft a WR in the 1st round or 2nd round.....or at least acquire one in the offseason.

WR? The real problem was Brees. Looked old.

He and Brady need to hang it up.

 

[Brees#1]

You're not going to follow up a NFCCG home loss with a wild card home game the next year. That's considered a disappointment. Wild card home teams face the most pressure.

I can only hope Saints will get a ring with a new QB when Brees is done if he doesn't get a second. Atlanta and Carolina will have no first ballot HOFs anytime soon.

The fade in the end zone is one of the lowest percentage plays in ftball. Coverage was just as bad as the play call

@mr.hockey4242 aint no Vike fan…he is on notice from here on out.

lol did you watch any of the game? The oline got destroyed literally all game until midway of the 4th.

Oh we have talked about the Saints wasting Brees best years with all of the 7-9 finishes due to poor oline play, no satellite RB, and a terrible defense. It's just not talked about because we aren't the Cowgirls.

So what you're saying is that you hope the Saints win a SB at some point in the future.

Packers wouldn’t play Niners till NFC Championship if they beat the Vikings, Packers play Seahawks/ Eagles winner next weekend

I posted that, went to take a shower and rea!ized what i said.
