Vikings/Saints Second Half Game Thread

Dailynorseman_tiny by Gonzo on in Game Threads

And, in a Daily Norseman first, we're moving the second half discussion to its own thread.

Vikings 20, Saints 10 at halftime.  Nobody's sure how, but that's what's happening.

SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!

Yep yep

I’m not sure how the Vikings are winning this one, but the “how” doesn’t really make any difference.

My prediction for the second half...

Chilly calls a prevent/conservative play call and the game is tied by the 4th q

my first game thread as well!

What up?

I don't care either. you don't get anything extra for

‘Style’ points. lets win ugly!

VikeGuru is a doofus!!

Special teams

You’d think we could get just ONE good kickoff return this year…

I love Vikings.

I love Winfield. I love Kwill. I love Greenway. I love Leber. I love Lamp. (Anchorman, anyone? Just watched it again. I love movie.)

I hate Clueless.

In AP I trust

Gus is looking good so far...

Oops, I probably just jinxed him – sorry guys

The hell call was that?

Was that intentional?

Nice Stat Courtesy of Judd Zulgad

Just informed by Vikings PR ace Tom West that the 59-yard return of a blocked field goal for a touchdown by Antoine Winfield in the first quarter was the first time ever the Vikings have done that in the regular season. The Vikings did return a blocked field goal for a touchdown in the postseason. That came in a 1976 game against the Los Angeles Rams when Bobby Bryant did it at Metropolitan Stadium.

i feel like we really needed to break it open on the first play.

What up?

by snakethejake on Oct 6, 2008 9:39 PM CDT   0 recs

That would require chuzpah.

Something we all know Childress lacks.

Can the Bush/AP comparisons PLEASE stop?

Bush has no style or creativity – that last 5 yd loss: case and point

Facemask

I think they missed another one. Not complaining though.

c'mon defense

can we manage a 3 and out?

VikeGuru is a doofus!!

my gawd

this offense is awful…the worst I have ever seen in 39 years of watching the Vikings

by sle71r on Oct 6, 2008 9:40 PM CDT   0 recs

You must have missed 2006

Because that was worse, IMO.

The Daily Norseman - The greatest Vikings' site on the Internet!

by Gonzo on Oct 6, 2008 9:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

But it's a kick ass offense!

we were all told that. maybe we just dont know the game.

Tyrell Johnson

Is maturing quickly. Nice to see.

i missed what happened

specifics on EJ Henderson’s injury?

What up?

by snakethejake on Oct 6, 2008 9:43 PM CDT   0 recs

Dislocated his toes

Last week against Tennessee.

No, I don’t know how you dislocate your toes, but it sounds painful as hell.

The Daily Norseman - The greatest Vikings' site on the Internet!

by Gonzo on Oct 6, 2008 9:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

ah yeah

i knew he’d dislocated his toes, didn’t know if it was something worse, thanks!

What up?

by snakethejake on Oct 6, 2008 9:44 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well, they put him on IR today

Doesn’t get much worse than that. )-:

The Daily Norseman - The greatest Vikings' site on the Internet!

by Gonzo on Oct 6, 2008 9:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

true, they brushed it off at first, that’s why i thought it was strange all of the sudden he was on IR.

What up?

by snakethejake on Oct 6, 2008 9:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't personally know about how EJ feels

But his dislocated toes are definitely causing me quite a bit of pain.

In AP I trust

MAN!

I was salicating over an INT on that play

by mjmrad on Oct 6, 2008 9:44 PM CDT   0 recs

Wow

The hell is Ben Leber doing 40 yards downfield?

Nice play by #51, but still. . .damn.

You idiot.

No need for that crap. . .we’re ahead.

Fair catch

Is that all Gordon does? Just asking… Nice penalty Fergy.

It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a Viking to raze a village.

Jared Allen

Can someone explain how it is that Jared Allen never gets anything on the stat sheet? No tackles tonight. Hardly any real numbers to speak of all year.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.

by PJS on Oct 6, 2008 9:46 PM CDT   0 recs

This is true

But at least he’s getting pressure.

With last year’s defense, Brees would have 400 yards by now.

The Daily Norseman - The greatest Vikings' site on the Internet!

by Gonzo on Oct 6, 2008 9:47 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

and 4 TD's

as well

VikeGuru is a doofus!!

by Unclebillybonz on Oct 6, 2008 9:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

When I was watching the game

I saw him getting good pressure often enough. He just never has the luck to get the QB looking the other way. They always seem to get rid of the ball.

In AP I trust

WTF fergy

idiot

Update

9:26 left in the third quarter.

Vikings 20, Saints 10, Vikings 1st and 10 at their own 22 after the penalty.

Let's see...

Run run pass punt, knowing Chilly

Negative Offensive game plan

I swear that if Childress could design an offense that would net negative yardage he would. Oh wait…..he has. Unfortunately for him, he has athletes who want to win.

Nice call on the swing play Gonzo

We could do that all night!

by mjmrad on Oct 6, 2008 9:48 PM CDT   0 recs

Swing plays, reverses. . .

They’re all there.

I’m telling you, the Saints are completely selling out to stop Peterson.

oh snap

run pass so far

What up?

I hate to say it...

but AP should not be catching throws…

by mjmrad on Oct 6, 2008 9:50 PM CDT   0 recs

Thats a TD is Gus gets the ball out there!

I miss Daunte’s deep ball!

VikeGuru is a doofus!!

by Unclebillybonz on Oct 6, 2008 9:52 PM CDT   0 recs

So do I, UBB

Gus has gotta launch that thing if we’re going to go deep.

If the Vikes could get a solid pass game going

Then teams will bring another man back and open up more room for the run

On the punt return

I like the camera view on the return

by chadly0102 on Oct 6, 2008 9:52 PM CDT   0 recs

I hope you’re not serious

by mjmrad on Oct 6, 2008 9:53 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah i wasn’t going to say anything, but it made me dizzy

What up?

by snakethejake on Oct 6, 2008 9:54 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I will say

That it looks like we’ve had blitzes coming from everywhere tonight.

Kluwe seems to be doing a good job punting today

3 in the 20 and the TB was close. Of course, I’d prefer he never had to punt, but I’ll take what I can from it.

In AP I trust

by FarvaForTheVikings on Oct 6, 2008 9:54 PM CDT   0 recs

Dumb question time

Why in the blue hell is Jared Allen dropping back into coverage EVER!?

The Daily Norseman - The greatest Vikings' site on the Internet!

by Gonzo on Oct 6, 2008 9:55 PM CDT   0 recs

linebacker blitz i guess.

What up?

by snakethejake on Oct 6, 2008 9:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't know

but I blame Chilly

by mjmrad on Oct 6, 2008 9:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

LOL Hochuli

Now he has to justify every call he makes, too.

I damn near feel bad for the guy.

The Daily Norseman - The greatest Vikings' site on the Internet!

by Gonzo on Oct 6, 2008 9:56 PM CDT   0 recs

I'll take him on any Vikes games...

…if tonight is any indication

by mjmrad on Oct 6, 2008 9:57 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Ed Hochuli’s explanation, not a normal explanation for that play.

What up?

by snakethejake on Oct 6, 2008 9:56 PM CDT   0 recs

I feel bad for Hochuli

Any other umpire would have just had to call the false start.

by cheaptoy on Oct 6, 2008 9:57 PM CDT   0 recs

Ed

he kills me… he is explaining everything. so scared to screw something up

by chadly0102 on Oct 6, 2008 9:57 PM CDT   0 recs

And Cedric Griffin gets whooped again

Man. . .that guy’s really getting on my nerves.

The Daily Norseman - The greatest Vikings' site on the Internet!

same here.

Oh, I know he has

That’s part of why I feel bad for him.

they won't

they start the same way almost every year.

What up?

by snakethejake on Oct 6, 2008 10:00 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree

and if you don’t he will come kick your ass

by chadly0102 on Oct 6, 2008 9:59 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Could Griffin play more soft?

He might be worse the Fred Soot!

At least Soot would gamble and make a big play sometimes.

Griffin is just bad all the time.

VikeGuru is a doofus!!
