OFFICIAL VIKES @ SAINTS GAME THREAD

[MOBB DEEP]

GREAT matchup to kick off 2010

I firmly belive the game will come down to how well the saint's interior 3 on the oline holds up

after the emotional rush from brees leading "who dat " the vikes might be able to get near the 475 yards they garnered back in January..All Day HAS to be a beast tho to burn clock and keep drew on sideline

so sans the 5 TOs they could get leg up in div race

[mraynrand]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[DannoMac21]

Wish I could light up a beezy with you for this game MOBB

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Hope Favre doesn't play lights out tonight. That would be a good sign that he will not put up the same numbers as he did last year.

Would take a Vikings loss with open arms, but will be good first week of football if we win Sunday. This would be a bonus.

[BallHawk]

Favre will play mediocre. Probably 2 TDs and 2 INTs or something like that. Saints win.

[Fritz]

Screw the Vikings.

[GrnBay007]

Favre will have to win the game without me watching tonight. :P My boy has a football game tonight too.

[woodbuck27]

Anybody betting that the Saints win this game by covering 14 pts is delusional. Favre will play this game to win conservatively.

Translation. The Vikings will try to establish a running game and do so for the first half. Only if that goes nowhere will Brad Childress cut Favre loose, but really folks what does he have to toss to?

Peterson gets 2 TD's and Favre throws for one. Two Longwell FG's gives the Vikings their score. Still too much Saints QB in Drew Brees; and the Saints home crowd will be a big assist and cause confusion for the Vikings OL.

Saints 34 - Vikings 27

Man, almost forgot there was a game tonight. Had to get my picks made for the week. Hope your son has a good game 007. Been some nice weather down here. Perfect for football. :clap:

[mraynrand]

but really folks what, does he have to toss too?

yes

[falco]

for me, this one was particularly painful:

edit: my link went bad :oops:

but it was 03 season overtime INT against the eagles.

[bobblehead]

Ok, here is the call. Brett throws 2 picks in the game and AP doesn't fumble therefore the apologists have no one else to blame.

[Fritz]

I think Woody's right: the Queens play it extremely conservatively tonight. AP left, AP right AP up the middle. Favre's going to be a decoy more than a weapon tonight.

I base this on.....my feelings.

[imscott72]

WHO DAT? Kick the Queen's fucking asses!!

[imscott72]

Favre will have to win the game without me watching tonight. :P My boy has a football game tonight too.


Man, almost forgot there was a game tonight.

Do you live in a cave? :lol:

The Purps take a big old Boudin up the backside tonight.

Wont be able to comment on the game tonight since its poker night so just like to say......FUCK THE VIKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://myfantasyland.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/brett-favre-vikings1.jpg

[red]

brett has no one to throw to and the queens are very thin at CB tonight. brees and all his weapons should be able to light the queens up. favre could get into trouble trying to keep his team in it

[HarveyWallbangers]

Vikings win tonight. Saints have spent an offseason celebrating and the Vikings are highly motivated. The Vikings are a bit beat up, but the Saints are as equally beat up. Vikings match up well with the Saints.

Who invited this guy in here? They match up well? I think the Vikings will score some points, but I don't see the Vikings D matching up well with the Saints O AT ALL. Brees should throw for 350/3 tonight..

[HarveyWallbangers]

They can run the ball on the Saints (see Peterson's 120+ yard game last year) and they can get after Brees. They held him pretty well in check last year. As long as they hold onto the ball, they'll win.

[Joemailman]

when i think of kick ass brain bashing football i think of taylor swift :roll:

She's almost as hot as Shania Twain...and just as untalented.

[Fosco33]

Highly optimistic that the Saints wipe the Queens... 31-13

No Chester, no Rice. I can't even name AP's backup. Minny's CB's won't be able to cover. Saints by 10+.

[MJZiggy]

I just got a facebook update from Nick Barnett (?) saying he's kinda excited to watch this game...

[denverYooper]

Whoop whoop! Football season's here!

[MOBB DEEP]

brett has no one to throw to

LORD have Percy

As longs as the amped up crowd doesn't give him migraine

oh, and Shiancoe...

hard to dislike saints; brees is a MAN and vilma seems like cool cat..LOVE me some sharper so wish he was playing

Dig alex brown too; didnt know he was there now!

[imscott72]

What's the O/U on the number of BS roughing the passer penalties the Saints will get? :roll:

No offense to Rastak and our other Vikings fans that post here, but I hope the Saints beat the living daylights outta #4. I don't wish that upon any other player in the league, but that guy has just pushed me that far.

[MOBB DEEP]

Saints are sky-high right now! Chilly better run that there ball on O

[channtheman]

Tory Humphrey sighting!

[denverYooper]

My first thought: Whooo!!

Yup.

[Tarlam!]

That Saints DL is massive.....

[channtheman]

What their linebacker just did is what I wish Hawk would do. Hawk is assignment sure so he would take on that fullback, but that is all Hawk does. I wish he would take on the blocker and then fight past it and still go for the ball carrier.

[gbgary]

love the saints' start. really love minn's start.

[Tony Oday]

Damn he was open

[gbgary]

minn's secondary seems iffy.

[denverYooper]

That was smooth

[MOBB DEEP]

Vikings D gets Shredded like paper in an office

:lol: :lol:

He had Henderson for 6 there..Just over shot him..

can week 1 really be must -win?

Isnt minny play with house $ what with so many issues?

[mission]

lovin this

[Smidgeon]

I'm no expert, but Favre's passes do not look crisp or smooth. Is it just me?

[gbgary]

bf's getting good protection so far.

[Tony Oday]

He wasnt on the same page as his WR?! but he was in camp the whole ti...oh wait...

[Tarlam!]

Favre getting two blockers to protect him. Never seen that format before. The old man scared?

hahahaha

this jus in, brees is a good QB

[MOBB DEEP]

do vikes DBs actually practice

Winfield stud but dayum they soft

[retailguy]

Geaux Saints!

Brees' passes don't look too crisp either. Am I just spoiled from Rodgers or am I seeing things?

So, Peterson...

Gotta admit, the Vikes are mixing up the play calling really well.

well he's the second-most dynamic player in the league and the vikings #1 receiver is out. it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out he was going to get a lot of carries.

not calling you stupid, just saying woodbuck shared that opinion with about 100 million other people. :)

bf's been talking about having to get the ball in ap's hands for the last three weeks. not surprised at all in the play calling.

[MOBB DEEP]

SO much parity in nfl gang

You would think saints should romp vikes b/c of fire power..but its not ALL about the skill positions

saints come out like gangbusters but its a marathon not a sprint

no more superpowers..thats why i really dig TT now since he will have pack in the mix for about a decade

[Tarlam!]

Was Harvin on the field for that punt?

[MOBB DEEP]

Was Harvin on the field for that punt?

he was certainly in that last play! lol

[gbgary]

giving the vikes' wrs too much room

[MJZiggy]

Yes! Pick 1

[Tarlam!]

At last!!!

[falco]

Favre is already in playoff mode! haha

[imscott72]

There's the 1st one!!!!

[gbgary]

:D

[denverYooper]

Shebeezus, that Vikes front 7 is hell on wheels.

Vikings have actually done a fine job of hanging in there..I'm worried..Where's the offense from both teams?

[MOBB DEEP]

probably would still dislike. All the side drama, the obvious attempt to get even with Ted weighs heavily on me. I'm entirely tired of the "will he won't he" bullshit.

Finally, I have a real hard time letting go of the allegations with Detroit. That's the ultimate in backstabbing. He made over $100m working for the Packers. Calling the Lions can't be defended in any way.

I am just not sure I could ever truly root for him again.

I still hope he retires as a Packer and goes into all the halls of fame. But it will never happen with the pride I'd have felt before.

[MOBB DEEP]

alright, who guessed we were going to have a defensive stalemate tonight?

PARITY!

vikes CLEARLY out-played saints in january but i think indy woulda beat lord

[MJZiggy]

Why are they only rushing 3 when they did so well getting in Favre's face last year?

[imscott72]

Saints NEED to establish a run game in the 2nd half..

[retailguy]

Why are they only rushing 3 when they did so well getting in Favre's face last year?

worried Favre will pick apart the db's?

[RashanGary]

Weird game. Evenly matched. The Vikings look pretty good still.

How did these teams do in the preseason? Neither looks like it's in a groove.

[Tarlam!]

they need to get first downs. it's all or nothing with them so far. minn's had the ball most of the time.

maybe training camp really is over rated. :P

[Rastak]

Vikings are not at all in the groove. The Vikings got their offensive starting line together tonight for the first time. Defense got switched up at the back end.....they're doinbg a good job considering.

And she calls him the cum slinger

[packerbacker1234]

Saints look out of rythm. Favre looks like he is really missing Sidney.

Still, the vikes and All Day have been able to run it down their throats. Combine that run game with some PA passes to the TE, and the vikes will be alright until one of hte WRs steps up.

Vikings offense seems to look a tad better than the saints. Much more balanced.

GOTCHA!

but dont u think nearly ALL of us mere humans tend to seek vengeance in some form if we have the means? or wish we could? his feelings were hurt like a broad scorned lol..so he became irrational like MANY people do in real life..btw, im a psychologist and deal with people who have SO many unresolved issues which are manifested in their anti-social behaviors and scewed thought process

nothing to be proud of but i personally have done worse in my own life when i was a yute...im just lucky the whole nation didnt hear about it..the proverbial glass house analogy has allowed me to stop disliking people i dont even know..i used to hate moss, kobe, T.O. but have come to realize that i cant place standards on others and judge them until i have it all together; which wont be until Jesus returns

these cats merely catch or throw passes or put a ball through a hoop! mere ENTERTAINMENT...they're nothing special in the grand scheme so we dont need to be so emotionally vested..if TT or favre "win" my life changes none; im still going to need to enhance my relationship with my daughter and seek to leave a respectable legacy - screw favre's or manning's

how was that lil sermon? hehehe

[Fosco33]

How much did he pay her to keep quiet? That story really disappeared.

Don't disagree necessarily. But who really makes up that kinda story??


Back to the 2nd half!

If you want to see more of Jenn - she cohosts a sports show on Versus.

[gbgary]

saints need to play eight in the box and/or tighter coverage. the cushion being given is huge.

[MJZiggy]

Why are they only rushing 3 when they did so well getting in Favre's face last year?

so we dont need to be so emotionally vested

Do you honestly believe the NFL would exist if fans didn't get emotionally ivested?

thats pretty much the perfect picture taken at the perfect time. in that picture she looks like the hottest woman in the world. every other picture of her makes her look like nothing special. she's still hot, but nothing to blow a nut over

[gbgary]

Saints need a big drive here.

that's what i was saying earlier. get some first downs and eat up some clock. move the ball down the field.

Great to see Rastak!! Greetings, my purple pal!!

GOTCHA!

but dont u think nearly ALL of us mere humans tend to seek vengeance in some form if we have the means? or wish we could? his feelings were hurt like a broad scorned lol..so he became irrational like MANY people do in real life..btw, im a psychologist and deal with people who have SO many unresolved issues which are manifested in their anti-social behaviors and scewed thought process

nothing to be proud of but i personally have done worse in my own life when i was a yute...im just lucky the whole nation didnt hear about it..the proverbial glass house analogy has allowed me to stop disliking people i dont even know..i used to hate moss, kobe, T.O. but have come to realize that i cant place standards on others and judge them until i have it all together; which wont be until Jesus returns

these cats merely catch or throw passes or put a ball through a hoop! mere ENTERTAINMENT...they're nothing special in the grand scheme so we dont need to be so emotionally vested..if TT or favre "win" my life changes none; im still going to need to enhance my relationship with my daughter and seek to leave a respectable legacy - screw favre's or manning's

how was that lil sermon? hehehe

Sure, agree with most of this. The majority of us apologize when "we wake up" from being an idiot. Favre hasn't done so. I understand your analogy about your youth, I have similar experiences, but you're no longer a youth at 40. Less understanding for this at that age.

I totally agree about the entertainment, and your perspective about the true importance in society.

But, when you can admire someone with the character of Donald Driver, do you really need to waste your time cheering for someone like Brett Favre?

I will never ever forget watching Donald's press conference when he signed his $17m extension a few years back. Watching those tears and that look on his face said it all. I try to support ppl like that as I get older. I give less time and energy to ppl like Favre.

But, that's just me.

[Tarlam!]

How much did he pay her to keep quiet? That story really disappeared.

It was a garbage story to begin with. I'm glad it disappeared.

Don't disagree necessarily. But who really makes up that kinda story??


Back to the 2nd half!

If you want to see more of Jenn - she cohosts a sports show on Versus.

Don't get that show on TV Deutschland, I'm afraid.

Not disputing the truth of that story, but, what on earth does it need to be aired publicy for? If the guy was running for Mayor, I can understand why his character would be a public issue.

[Tony Oday]

Why are they running?

because it's working? :lol:

[Tony Oday]

Why are they running?

Thats why dumbass

[RashanGary]

The Vikings always seem to do a good job of disguising blitzes. A couple times this game, they waited, waited waited. . . . Brees did a hard count, they stayed disciplined and when the snap came, they fooled Brees.

They do that to Rodgers, but more often and more effectively.

[gbgary]

Why are they running?

minn's not looking for it. it'll work for a while. they're getting first downs though.

and I take back what I said about you walking around detroit in the dark over in the game thread. :wink:

instead, just make sure rock gullickson isn't hiding in a bush somewhere waiting with a tire iron to finish off Harrell. I think we're really going to need the guy this season.

[woodbuck27]

The first thing that surprizes me in this match-up so far is that neither of these top four teams 'D's appear sharp.

The second thing is A. Peterson is a beast.

The third thing is Favre can make such lousy plays and still rebound to make plays that keeps his team alive. He just near tossed another pick going to the RH sideline and Percy Harvin.

OK It's now Saints 14 - Vikings 9.

[woodbuck27]

How did these teams do in the preseason? Neither looks like it's in a groove.


Vikings are not at all in the groove. The Vikings got their offensive starting line together tonight for the first time. Defense got switched up at the back end.....they're doinbg a good job considering.

Hey Rastak. Great to see you. :D

Chilly's stupidity never ceases to amaze me. How could anyone review that replay and not be able to tell it was incomplete. The force with which the ball bounced in to the reciever was plenty of evidence.

He has no receivers. I don't think this is on Favre.

i think you have to put quite a bit on farve. he should have been there all training camp and preseason. then maybe he would have gotten into a rhythm with the whole offense

those guys needed time with him more then he needed camp to prepare himself

Almost all in the second half. I was surprised how easy it was for the Saints to run up the middle--once they chose to do it. Maybe Pat Williams is showing his age.

How did that vaunted Viking defense let them run the clock out with 5+ minutes left?

[Scott Campbell]

I think Percy Harvin game Chilly a migraine tonight.

[RashanGary]

You realize how tough the NFL is watching that game though. Winning is a battle. At any point the Saints could have lost with one big play.

That's why undefeated is so hard. . . Two huge plays is 14 points and they can happen at any given point.

Favre looks less careful this year. You can see his impatience. Two picks in one game. He only through seven all of last year.

This is the Favre we know. His body will break down again. I hate to see Favre win because I hate to see lying and manipulation pay off. But, since it looks like it might be a tough year for Brett and he won't win anything meaningful. . . . I guess I'm getting over him. I'm ready for him to just go away.

[HarveyWallbangers]

All I can think of at this point is: get 'er done this weekend Pack. We'll likely need every game that we can gain over the Vikings. I thought the Vikings looked pretty bad tonight andthey don't scare me like they did last year and 1998, but they still have enough talent to get to 10-11 wins.

They did look pretty shaky, but it is only week one. Didn't they look bad week one last year too? It's not surprising there would be some rust. We definitely need to win Sunday and gain all the ground we can like you said. I do believe it will be nip and tuck all year for the division.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Didn't they look bad week one last year too?

That's what Vikings fans are saying now, but not this bad. Last year, they were up 34-13 on Cleveland (a bad team) until Cleveland scored a meaningless TD late. And 7 of those 13 points came on a Josh Cribbs punt return. Also, Adrian Peterson had 180 rushing yards and 3 TDs. The thing that was bad about them was their passing offense, and it was more that they didn't need to pass against a bad team with a comfortable lead.

I just some chinks in the armor. The Saints should have won handily. They missed two FGs and had several drops and Brees wasn't in rhythm early. I think Minnesota's OL looks pedestrian, none of their WRs look like #1 WRs, their run defense got gashed up the middle, and there were open receivers. They also have a real problem when Peterson's not in the game--unless Toby Gerhart suddenly looks a lot better than he did in the preseason. The only people that played well in this game, IMHO, was Adrian Peterson, Visanthe Shiancoe, and their LBs.

[Pugger]

Anybody else think Peterson just doesn't look as explosive as he used to? He's still a tough runner, but not really scary.

nah, i think he looked real good. he looked tough as hell tonight

And the queens were stupid to get away from handing it off to Peterson cuz NO had no answer. I hope MN continues to be stupid. :D

I saw this quote in the JSO about Adrian Peterson's rushing effort in last night's game:

"Adrian Peterson, who rushed for 122 yards and three TDs in the last meeting, rushed for 87 yards on 219 carries against New Orleans' stingy defense."

That means that last night he averaged .3972602 yards per carry.

I can't believe Chilly kept giving AP the ball if that was all he could manage.

But the Vikes sure must have controlled the clock!
