PrintWhat will you be watching for in this game?
I'm wondering how the Vikings offense will work without WR Sidney Rice? Will the Saints defense be just as good without FS Darren Sharper? Will the Vikings injury depleted secondary hold up against QB Drew Brees?

You know
I almost am more excited to watch the Vikings get smacked down tonight than I am to see the Packers beat the Eagles on Sunday
Interesting game...
I thought the Vikings dominated the NFC title game last year BUT I am not sure they can hold the Saints to what was it, 220 yards of offense after regulation? 250 yards including OT? But on the other hand, the Vikings handed them the game last year with turnovers.
I think the Saints will win again but it should be close. 31-21 Saints.
Yeah, it's an interesting matchup.
I think it depends on whether the Vikings can get to Brees. I don’t think the Vikings have a prayer in hell of covering the Saints receivers without pressure. I’d run All Day down the Saints throats and hold the ball if I were Minny, but I’ll be surprised if Chilly’s got the discipline to take the ball out of Favre’s hands.

I believe Minnesota's O-Line has regressed from last year
And I think it’ll be readily apparent tonight.
And just add...
the vikes are playing with Asher Allan at one corner and Lito Sheppard is the nickle?? yikes. I think the Saints precision passing game will let them eat the clock. But we’ll see
Wow.
That orchestrated moment from the players doesn’t exactly make me optimistic about avoiding a lockout next year. Wonder if they’ll do that all year.
Nothing quite touches the heart like solidarity among suppressed millionaires.

Well, no Sharper
Packers blitzed all the time last year and that did what for us?
If the Vikings want to only send out 4 receivers and the Saints have 7 or 8 guys to defend them, you gotta like those odds. Much better than 1:1 with Favre zipping it in somewhere.
I suppose, particularly with Rice out.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Sep 9, 2010 8:06 PM CDT up reply actions
The way I look at it
You don’t blitz unless you have to. Until Favre is beating your coverage, you do a standard pass rush.
I wonder if he's going to the let the Vikings get used to blitz in the first half
And then pour it on the rest of the game
Or not, as the case may be.

And I went with AP. I felt dirty, but I just don’t believe in Chris Johnson. So if he can get them to the red zone and then Brett throws 3 incompletes I’ll be happy
I also have Longwell
So added emphasis on what we just saw
He’s just so damn fast, strong, quick, big…alright that’s just too much.

Question...
Anyone think the Vikings are being too conservative in this game? They are going to finish this half with 3 points probably.
They're playing it like the 3rd preseason game
Which it effectively is for Favre, just like last season.
I think they really just want to establish the run game. It seems obvious that their passing game isn’t what it was without Rice too. Berrian is nothing more then an average #3 receiver. Definitely not a #1.
by packallday555 on Sep 9, 2010 8:36 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't know.
Maybe, but I think that’s what i’d do too. The Saints haven’t stopped AP yet. He just got tired and was pulled at the end of that drive, and they kept the Saints offense (and the Vikes secondary) off the field for 10 minutes.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Sep 9, 2010 8:45 PM CDT reply actions
OH to answer above...
Sheppard has been covering better! I think Brees is having trouble finding guys open downfield. The Vikings secondary is doing better since the first drive.
I think a lot of that has to do with their pass rush. They didn’t get any pressure on that first drive.
by packallday555 on Sep 9, 2010 8:49 PM CDT up reply actions
It must be.
There’s been a few plays where Brees had time (like that one) and he ended up dumping it off. I’m impressed. I don’t know how they’re doing it, but I’m impressed.

If the Saints score a TD here...
then they can’t be as conservative come the 2nd half…and then Williams really unleashes the dogs…

And then a missed field goal. Typical Viking’s break.

I think he's more of a product of the system
Look at the big name TE’s, most of them have a average to good QB behind them
This sort of gameplan by the Saints is pretty badly out of balance.
There is no balance whatsoever. When you are one dimensional, they can drop everyone and their grandfather back into coverage and break up the long passes.
Look, I’m not saying the Saints should go old-school Wisconsin, but the way things are going, they BADLY need to use Bush’s 8 YPC to their advantage.

The VT play calling was HORRIFIC.
Worse than awful. Abysmal. Beyond terrible.
You never ever EVER pass the ball on a 3rd and long when your defense has shown no ability to stop their offense. The incompletion just made things worse for VT; they had to kick, and Boise went end to end.
The play calls were pretty bad also. I thought the Hokies had exactly twice as many rush plays as pass plays. The run game was a fail, the pass game worked. Nice one, VT. Way to set up a loss.

Why does NBC have more sports personalities than ESPN's Monday Night Countdown?
Maybe we need a broadcaster’s salary cap
Here's what crossing my mind...
If the Saints offense struggles against the Vikes D, how well do you think our boys will D against this Vikes D? A little worrisome.
But there is still another half, see if the Saints figure things out.
We're not going to attempt NEARLY as many passes
per rush as the Saints have. That lopsided ratio is going to kill the Saints.

The Saints have taken away Shiancoe and all the sudden Favre has no one to throw too. It doesn’t help that he hasn’t been very sharp with his passes this half either though.

Harvin’s not a guy who is going to be effective on the outside. He’s not a very good route runner. He excels when he can catch the ball in space. (aka the slot in the seam)

FIRST DOWN!!
FAvre ain’t gettin’ the ball again!
Minny has 2 TO
Need another conversion after a 3rd down to make that true
Keep running down the clock.
Don’t play clock management like VT did against Boise State…
The Swamp's home field advantage is so devastating, it stifled the Florida offense as well as the other team's...

Can Vikings fans...
…blame this one on turnovers or “cheap shots” on Favre?
Yep that's it..
The global illuminati conspiracy against the Vikings…the refs were bought off
They ignore the actual reason
Brett Farve’s awful pass completion percentage, the INT, and the vanishing act Adrian Peterson learned from Donald Lee…

Yeah, they’ve had what, six possessions in the second half? And have managed to do absolutely nothing on offense.

Yep, I’m sure they will. I’m sure we’ll be hearing about the incomplete pass to Kleinsasser.
by packallday555 on Sep 9, 2010 10:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Even though it wasn’t conclusive. Had they called the pass complete, it would have stood as complete.

How about poor play by Brett Farve?
Is THAT a valid excuse?

The Vikings are weak up the middle. Anybody else notice Pat Williams getting pancaked every other play?
He's just in the wrong position each time...

Vikings are in last place!!! muahhahaha
Turnover is the Vike's only hope now...
… also, love the fact that its a one cut zone run that the Vikings can’t stop.

But wait, I thought the Vikings had the best run defense in the league?
by packallday555 on Sep 9, 2010 10:24 PM CDT up reply actions
So is there worry for the Vikes against Miami
Since basically the Saints just gashed them up the middle. Miami is going to do that and then some next week.
After all that trash talking
the Vikings are 0-1 this season.
R4F just exploded.

He said he's at the game
That’s just funny to me. I would love to know what he’s doing right this minute.
by PackApologist on Sep 9, 2010 10:25 PM CDT up reply actions
LOL!! Me too.
I wonder if he talks all that nonsense to fans when he attends game.
by packallday555 on Sep 9, 2010 10:27 PM CDT up reply actions
My guess is no
I wonder if he still goes to Packer games even though he’s basically sold his football soul.

Going into conniptions, I'd say.
The Viking fans down the hall from me just went very, very silent…

I want to see if we can challenge Minny this year for the Division…It’s going to be all about Shields and Burnett
The Vikings have just been held scoreless for an entire half.
I don’t think that happened at all last season.

Wow, what a boring game
Anywho, it’s good to see the Vikings fans still need excuses to validate themselves. This time, it would’ve been different if Sidney Rice, Cedric Griffin, and Chris Cook were in (Like anyone is concerned about the last two)
Yeah, too be honest Griffin is really no more then average. He’s improved somewhat, as he used to be other teams whipping boy in coverage basically. Sure, Cook looked alright but that was against the Seattle Seahawks, and to be totally honest he didn’t really ever get tested in coverage. The notion that the return of those two will make their secondary much better probably isn’t a good one. It’ll basically just give them two more guys who are good in run support and average in coverage.
Rice would have helped for sure though. Berrian is vastly overrated, and I think Harvin showed he is only effective in the slot.

Oh, and my favorite stat of the night
Jared Allen – 4 tackles and 0 sacks. Overrated hillbilly goon….
Shut down Allen
In his first game as a Viking, he played the Packers and was statistically shut out (0 tackles and 0 sacks). He does nothing from time to time, but he’s done been just fine for the Vikings over the last two years overall. It wasn’t an impressive game for Allen, but he’ll have some good ones this season.
Wasn't he pretty much shut down against the Packers
in his last game as a Chief, as well? lol.
-
The glass is way more than half-full.
Of course, I meant
his last game against the Packers as a Chief, not his actual last game as a Chief.
-
The glass is way more than half-full.
I know he'll have some great games
Oddly enough they’ll be against subpar teams or LTs like the Lions or Darryn Colledge.
by Charlie Kelly on Sep 10, 2010 4:24 AM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, he will and most of them will likely come against average to below average left tackles. I mean 7.5 of his sacks came against Colledge and Lang last season right? Both guys who have no business playing left tackle.
Anytime guys can shut down his speed rush he’s virtually invisible during the games. He constantly over runs plays and provides no support in the run game, which was a problem last night. Especially since Pat Williams had a really, really poor game.
