| Gonzo's Prediction: | Vikings 34, Saints 31 |

| Final Score: | |||
Well, hey, that just flew by, didn't it?
Yeah, not really.
It's been a great week thus far going back and forth with the folks over at Canal Street Chronicles. The guys over at CSC have been nothing but class all week long. . .pretty much the best interaction that we've had with an opposing blog all season. (That's not to denigrate the rest of the SBNation blogs, but hey. . .the folks at CSC were really, really good.)
Now. . .let's end their season and punch our tickets to Miami.
How do we go about doing that?
1) Weather the storm early - The Vikings have been outstanding on their opening drives this year, both offensively and defensively. In 17 games this year, they've yet to allow an opening drive touchdown to an opponent, and they've scored 51 points of their own on the first possession of the game. (Thanks to Kevin Seifert for those figures.) Never will a good start be more important than in today's game, as the crowd in the Superdome is going to be in full throat from the very beginning of today's proceedings. Last week against Dallas, the Cowboys moved the ball early, but the Vikings' defense made big plays and shifted the momentum to Minnesota's side. If the Vikings can take the Saints' best shot early and counter-punch the way they need to, it will play a huge role in the Vikings' success today.
2) Get the running game going - The Saints' biggest weakness this season has been their rush defense, and in their three losses, opposing runners had a great deal of success. Part of the Vikings' best strategy today, in my opinion, is to try to shorten the game with the rushing attack and keep Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense off of the field. Whether it's Adrian Peterson. . .who is STILL due for a huge game. . .or Chester Taylor, or even Percy Harvin lining up in the backfield, getting the running game established for the Vikings will help them to remain balanced on offense, keep the Saints' defense off-balance, and help to establish the play-action passing game that Brett Favre has been so successful with.
3) Tackle, tackle, tackle - Last week, the Arizona Cardinals' defense looked absolutely awful in their attempts to tackle on defense and special teams, particularly against Saints' running back/punt returner Reggie Bush. The Vikings absolutely, positively can NOT afford to have that sort of lapse today on the defensive side of the ball. The rush defense is going to do what the rush defense always does, but the linebackers and the secondaries need to stop the Saints' backs, tight ends, and receivers without allowing them to get a ton of yards after the catch. Drew Brees is an incredibly accurate quarterback, so the receivers and tight ends are going to get their catches. The Minnesota defense needs to limit them to yardage after the catch, which should help the defense get off the field on third downs, which are going to be key as well.
Kickoff is about two hours away, folks. This is what we've waited all week for. This is what we've waited all SEASON for. Here's hoping that the Beloved Purple can get the job done this afternoon and give us two more weeks of unbearable anticipation and excitement, culminating in a little game in Miami.
SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!!

get the ball
go play action and go deep to sidney
other than that they need to be creative with the running game
dont just run him straight off right guard
run counters
get guards out in front
get him wide
give AP a chance, all he needs is that slightest opening

+million
its been a great season
lets make an amazing one
Guys
One Game….. One Game will dictate the season again. Win and 53 of our guys go to Miami, lose and 10 of our guys go to Miami. Which do you want?
Also to note. The Saints are not gonna lay down and take it, we will have to fight for it. On that note if the worse does happen, we must all remember how AMAZING of a season this was. One of The best seasons I’ve ever witnessed by a Viking team. Obviously the goal is to get to the Super Bowl but if we cant I will still love this team and I am PROUD to call the Vikings my team.
So lets go Vikings. May there be one more memory that will take us to Miami.

"We're used to Favre-a-palooza now. We're engulfed in Favre-a-palooza. It's not even Favre-a-palooza anymore. He's family now."
--Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe, on Brett Favre
Silencing The Doubters
Silencing my own doubts, as well as everyone else’s…
The Vikings can win today; without going in to detail on what has been hashed to death already, the Vikings are a more balanced team who can blunt the Saints’ explosive offense and quiet the Superdome crowd.
That said, I remember the 1987, 1998, and 2000 seasons (or rather, how they ended) well enough; nothing is assured until the clock reads 0:00 with Minnesota leading.
That is all I will say about the past until tonight’s game is done; none of those gut punch endings have any bearing on the game today.
Skol Vikings!

My Pick
Minnesota 34, New Orleans 30.
Pretty much in line with everyone else’s final score/total points predictions, even those who are picking the Saints to win.
The lead will go back and forth, but I believe a big day from AD and some key stops and a recovered turnover or two by the Viking defense will put them over the top, and end the NFC Championship game futility that has marked my life as a Viking fan.

Merciful Father,
I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them.
But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well.
For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought;
all we ought to have said, and have not said;
all we ought to have done, and have not done;
I pray thee God for forgiveness
‘Lo, there do I see my father. ’Lo, there do I see…
My mother, and my sisters, and my brothers.
’Lo, there do I see…the line of my people…
Back to the beginning…’Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them.
In the halls of Valhalla…where the brave…
May live….forever.
SKOL VIKINGS.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

good 1st quarter
"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you!"
um the
quarter ended before he touched the ball
bad excuse
should have been a penalty
for first one to touch the ball after coming in from out fo bounds
just
cause the quarter ends doesnt mean the play is over
Second Quarter Thread
Bring it on over, folks!

Why??? Why??? Why???
Why do players on the receiving team get anywhere near the ball after it hits the ground on the punt???
They should immediately run to the sidelines instead of just standing around waiting for the ball to take a weird bounce (footballs do that often) and ricochet off their shins?
Dang
Field position just went to the Saints’ favor.

Too Much Time For Brees
Vikings need to get more pressure.

Ugly Series for Minnesota
Defense needs to step up, and soon. The Saints moved pretty much at will.

Viking Front Four
The d-line is not getting the push they need—but blitzing can cause bigger problems if the Saints pick it up. Vikings defense may have to try some blitzes to mix things up.

C'mon Man
Defense wins championships. Pick it up D.
Keep running over Sharper
Sharper will quit tackling by the second half
Cant win in a shoot-out in their Dome..D is gonna have to step it up!

STUFFED!

Almost the turnover I wanted!
Nice try Ben Leber!
Another huge stop, that was close
Need to take the lead at halftime.
Way to go Special Teams!
Nice muff Bush! No and I am not talking about Kim!
Even at the half
Well it is a 30 min game now.
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
