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

[GNG]

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.

Brees backup QB looked good.

following that 15k yesterday all in today.... or just more jinx betting

Both.

I'm now destitute.

But on the plus side, New England and New Orleans are both dead

A nice push off by Rudolph on the game winning TD.

It's not called Wild Card weekend for nothing.

So far, 2 of the 4 road dogs have won.

A nice push off by Rudolph on the game winning TD.

Both of them were hand jockeying for position. Good no call.

 

[The Oldtimer]

What a game, what a dramatic finish. No way on earth they were going to even consider overturning that TD catch.

Especially when both were pushing and shoving.

 

[The Oldtimer]

There was a push. But the NFL sucks at getting these right, so give it too Minnesota.

Push off on who? Both were pushing off.

The defender didn't make a push and if he did it didn't have any effect on the receiver's ability to make the play. Rudolph's push clearly moved the defender away and prevented him from making a play.

LOL, I have to tell you, that I'm not a likeable guy.

No, watch the replay again. Both the offensive and defensive players were pushing off. Nevertheless, a PI is a judgement call, is and always will be.

Vikes would've gotten TD next play anyways

Maybe?

Mediocrity rules!

They almost never call OPI on a one arm push so a no call doesn't surprise me.

It just boiled down to the Zimmer and the Vikings defense had Payton's and the Saint's offense number today. Felt like Saints didn't have an answer for when the Vikings moved their outside rushers inside and they struggled to get anything done with the passing game.

With the Saints their offense tends to go cold a couple times a season and this was a really bad week for it to run cold.

 

[PnkPanther]

in hindsight, doubting vikings was dumb

They're now 4-1 all time vs Saints in the playoffs and the only saints win occurred when they were intentionally trying to injure viking players

Did you read the tweet? Where at all does it mention the Cowboys

You don't get it. Because we're not a big market team always talked about in the media when we are down, the experts don't care to go over our weaknesses. But if the Cowboys go 7-9 they will cover every single one.
