I was excited, yet apprehensive last night as I watched the game at work on NFL.com. It was a slow night in the ER. I was worried that the Saints would once again, get lucky in the last few minutes. While, on paper, the Saints should not lose either of their last two games, on paper they weren’t supposed to lose last night either.
With Carolina giving up an average of 161 yards rushing the last few games, I can see Adrian having a great game. I hope that they throw in Chester more often as they did against the Bengals.
Go Vikes!

The Vikings need to focus on what is best for them. I think it’s important that they wrap up the division and secure the #2 seed, and if they do that tonight with a win and an Eagles loss, then their focus needs to be to get healthy. Rest Favre, AP, and other dinged up guys. Winning for the Vikings becomes secondary at that point, unless…

The Vikes enter the Monday night game knowing New Orleans has lost a second time. Then go for it.

…it’s nice to see it back in play! But there is a little nugget I heard on SportsCenter this morning:

The last two teams to go 13-0 and lose their 14th game went on to lose again the following week.

So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance!

NFC CONFERENCE
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (13-0) NFC SOUTH
Week 15, #9-#11Cowboys @ #1 Saints, Cowboys Win! Saints 13-1
Week 16, #31 Bucs @ #1 Saints, Saints Win! Saints 14-1
Week 17, #1 Saints at Panthers#22-#25 Panthers, Saints win! Saints 15-1
MINNESOTA VIKINGS (11-2) NFC NORTH
Week15, #2 Vikings @ #22-#25 Panthers, Vikings Win! Vikings 12-2!
Week16, #2 Vikings @ #22-25 Bears, Vikings Win! Vikings 13-2
Week17, #12-15 Giants @ #2 Vikings, Vikings Win! Vikings 14-2!
Week 17, #3 Eagles @ #9-#11 Cowboys, Eagles Win! Eagles 12-4!

Unless there is a complete break down with the Minnesota Vikings, I see no change in the order of the NFC Division Leaders, for the NFC North and NFC South. The other two Divisions do not come into play.

FOLK sucks. I can’t believe he missed that field goal. Talk about flashbacks to the Washington game. This should have been their 2nd loss with them fighting for the #1. Oh well, shit happens I guess.

to see Dallas win – leaves a nasty taste in my mouse

If Dallas plays well here on out, they’ll probably have another visit to the Superdome in a few weeks

Is that the Vikings need to be able to expect Brees and the Saints to sling 14 points up on the board in the 4th quarter, if they need to.

That means that, if at all possible, no matter where they play the Saints, they should try to have at least 17 points lead padded before the final quarter before they even consider taking a deep breath.

The good thing about it is that it means the Saints have to strike quick and strike often. Favre is a past master at controlling the clock and if the ground game gets it’s traction, it can spell the end for the Saints.

are both in good position to play the ‘spoiler’ and take a win from the Saints.
not saying it’s going to happen… not saying it won’t.

OUT OF ALL THE TEAMS THE sAINTS PLAYED THIS YEAR (AND WON) i REALLY DON’T THINK THE (bOYS) ARE AT THE TOP . What happened was the worse team had nothing to lose and the best team came out flat in the beginning anf tried to play it cautious and safe. Untill the 4th quarter it did not work out. Lol , I think Dallas knows that if the Saints would have had about 30 seconds more and maybe one timeout , the Saints would have beat Dallas…AND THEY KNOW THAT !! Saints where right there at the end after being down that much in the beginning. The Saints defense shut down Dallas for the last 23 minutes of the game. But , I am taking nothing from Dallas , they won the game and thats all that matters. But , it WILL NOT happen a second time , if the Boys come back here to play again…WHO DAT

sounds to me like the Vikes coach really wanted to win that game and move closer to New Orleans. He was concerned that the Vikes offense was not doing good enough to beat the Panthers. What was bad for the coach was that the (old man) – (Farve) din’t think that way , he wants to play every down because it’s all about him and making tv shows and setting records as much as possible. Thats why he was in NY last year , we all know that NY is the media darlings of the NFL. Any NY team is always the best and gets all the coverage. Only exception to this is (Dallas) So , I am surprised that Farve has not tried to get to Dallas ? I remember how he treated the Packers , every year he was , he was not , he was , he was not going to come back to play. That put him in the news all the time and thats what he is all about !! Heck , their is a lot of QB"s that could have his numbers if they would have played on like Farve. I use to really like him , I am in the south where he is from (Louisiana) I live about 50 minutes from him so I use to pull for him , but not any more , now I pull against him all the time. Anyway…GO SAINTS WHO DAT
