I would just like to point out, amongst all the experts commenting on how the Saints shot themselves in the foot, that our defense played an incredible game.  Drew Brees and Co. had 5 fumbles (2 of which were recovered by Minnesota), 2 INTs,  and plenty of penalties.  Our D held the flashy Saints offense to only one TD.  While the announcers repeatedly brought up all the injuries to the NO offense, the losses of E.J. Henderson and Madieu Williams were barely discussed at all.  But despite these losses, the defense played an outstanding game.  The Saints, while still racking up the yardage, played sloppy because our defense made them look sloppy.  Reggie Bush's record-tying night was spoiled not because of the Saint's ineptitude, but because of the Minnesota D.

Sure, the punt coverage was aweful, and the running game never really got going.  But our team won.  Sure, we had a bad call go our way, along with a couple other close ones, but if any team was due to get some close calls, it was the Vikings.

I'm just absolutely sick of everyone blaming all the negative things on our team and all the positives on the opposing team.  We played a good game against a good opponent, and came out with a W.  It was far from perfect, but it is a win.  When it all comes down to it, the Vikes won because they wanted it more and kept fighting.
