PrintAfter an early three-and-out by the Vikings, the Saints drove down the field and tacked on another touchdown, and currently have a 14-9 lead over the Vikings as we move to the fourth quarter of play.
Minnesota has the ball, looking at 2nd and 7 from their own 16-yard line.
One quarter of play left in the season opener, ladies and gentlemen. The Vikings owned the last 15 of the first half. . .hopefully they can do it again here.

No
it clearly hit the ground if you see it from the front. He rolled and caught it.
I thought he had his hands under it
And it bounced off his hands into his gut.
But I’m probably wrong.

i think it bounced off his arm though.
at least from the view from the backfield. and the guy that overruled it was BEHIND the play. not sure how he saw it clearly

From the front, it looks like it hits the ground
from the back, it looks like it hits his hands. We need a sideview somehow.

Welp, that's it then.
And that’s probably the game right there. Sigh.
Our offense is clearly nowhere near the same this year. :(
AP looked decent early but he’s clearly lost something – a step, some slippery skills, something. Harvin was a non-factor (where’d you go, Percy?), and Berrian was awful. Ouch.
Going to be a loonnng season by the looks of it. :(
Well here’s hoping we can turn things around sooner rather than later.

Well... that truly sucked, but it's only 1 game
Ah, ah,

Idk
it depends how you looked at it. It was questionable enough to where I didn’t mind the call.
I mean looking at it from the front
it looked like it hit the ground. Looking at it from the back, it looked like it hit his hands. Too hard to tell, not enough evidence.
UH OH!!
We lost, Media is going to get even worser on the Packers case!

Hey its just week one
the season is not played out in one game
you guys want to hang yourself go ahead. the game could have been much worse
the vikes have 11 days to fix things or so.

Ugh
This sucks, because I was totally hoping to make him the QB, but… yes. AFter this game, hell yes. Get ourselves some WRs who can get seperation, if not vertically than AT LEAST horizontally. The kid can jump.
Our WRs are all #2s and #3s that allowed them to cheat up and play the short pass all game long.
Overall:
Here is my overall take…….
First off…. No real serious injuries… Yes, McKinnie left, but due to a finger….
Second… Favre was really not hit or sacked except that one time, but it was a jersey sack.. No controversial hits….
Defense… Held the Saints to 14 points!!!! With a banged up deep in depth secondary. Imagine when we get Cedric Back!?!?!?
Things to improve: Wow, our RUN-D fell on its face 2nd 1/2, what up w/ that?
Favre!? Work on your timing…. Now your going to get criticized for missing so much TC… Work on timing…
Penalties: Wow, no fumbles, but 1 bad interception…. Mostly due to Favre being hit while passing… Still a bad decision.
Okay, things to look forward too…
Hopefully a Healthy Toby Gerhart, Chris Cook, and Cedric Griffin.
And….
One thing that is mentioned, Vikings & Saints have first crack at Waiver wire due to them having the game so early on. A big plus for both of us….
I will not hang my head low tomorrow off of this… A blow-out would have me embarassed.. Overall I’m proud of the Defense, and hope the Offense will work on its key issues…
After watching this
we should have fucking tried our hardest to get TJ,Our FO,and coaching staff sometimes has no logic behind them,but its week 1,we should not give up hope yet
Probably a realllly bad time to stick my head in, but...
You guys have one of the nastiest D’s I’ve seen. You had a depleted secondary, and still we couldn’t really do all that much, period. When you have Rice back, and the coached get some simple common sense, and you more than likely will start winning in bunches. Once your guys get healthy, you’ll be a force again. Good game.
Thanks, man.
Bit frustrating but our offense needs to shake some rust off.

Thanks...
You have to admit, that Vikings defense w/ 2nd stringers playing and holding you to 14 points is not something for the Saints to be proud of.
Two offenses that were explosive last year were not so explosive tonight..
shut up
shuda woulda coulda been 20 pts. it wasn’t so
get over it
"It’s not arrogance, it’s destiny." -RKO
Hey
if we’re gonna pat ourselves on the back for the loss, we should at least be realistic.
Against a team with a not-crap kicker, it would’ve been 20. Accept it.
I do accpet it, but really i dont care
but if you want to continue to bitch about it go ahead. im not patting my self on the back for this loss that’s just stupid. if you think the season is over already then that’s you.i agree he have a lot to work on and i mean a lot. it will work itself out eventually.
"It’s not arrogance, it’s destiny." -RKO
It should’ve been 20. Although if I was offered before the game that the Saints would score 20 in the Superdome against Minny’s depleted secondary, I’d take it…
Offensively, the Vikes could be in trouble until they get the kinks ironed out. This is the second year in a row Chilly’s allowed a bit of a circus during camp; it’s just this year they don’t get to start out against the Browns and Lions.
I think...
we played a real conservative style in the 4th qtr. I’m not taking anything away from you guys. Your D man’d up, but even with the depleted secondary, I expected that. I think it all comes down to the Vike’s passing game…
P.S.
I said this after the ‘08 MNF game and I’ll say it again… EJ Henderson is a beast son! We’ll trade one of our WRs for him if you want!

in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
GL to you as well
I have an itching in my spine that tells me both of us meeting in the postseason is gonna happen.

The superdome is a tough place to play in and I cant see the other games being as tough as this and we
only lost by 5
by SeanInEauClaireWi on Sep 9, 2010 10:33 PM CDT reply actions
but if we call it 4, it could be 10 with the 2 missed FG
all im saying is it was a good tough game none the less and this i say is the hardest.
by SeanInEauClaireWi on Sep 9, 2010 10:36 PM CDT up reply actions
Imma call it by 11
because you really should add up those 2 FGs. A real kicker isn’t going to miss from 46 and 31 yards.
But XPs rarely get blocked... so we only lost by 10!
Whatever, it’s not really important. We know where we suck right now.
At least we have a longer time
to gel together since we played on a Thursday.

We also have the front running of hitting up the wire
So do the Saints, something pretty big……
As I predicted.
Low-scoring game.
Penalties hurting us.
Other things of concern
Offense needs to work on timing & routes…
For having been so depleted by injury...
Your defense held up remarkably well! Congrats.
Snap, place, kick! And it's good! It's good! It's goo-hoo-hood! Pigs have flown! Hell Has frozen over! The Saints are going to the Superbowl!
by Joseph William Stern on Sep 9, 2010 10:34 PM CDT reply actions
This very well could be
A team w/ a great defense……
That is something for teams to fear..
Favre could ride the defense to wins…
Is it me......
or is JA only useful against banged up Packers linemen, and Cowboys backups?

Can’t seem to open up a good hole for Peterson

to the contrary
run him to the sides and he got great pentration. Next week he will have a 150 yard plus game
Peterson did really well

Yes please
Brett needs a big target, not these shit WRs we have atm.
I'd rather have him in 3 games
than wait for Rice to come back in 8, and even then that’s optimistic. He could be out until the playoffs, if we even make them.
He wasn't helping himself
seemed well blanketed all game.
lol that's called good defense
He’s not a possession receiver. He’s a deep pass receiver. If he could get more looks downfield for once…
If Gus Frerotte can throw 99-yard TD passes to him…I think any QB can do it.
I'm still a Minnesotan at heart...
The only thing that upset me about this game
was that I didn’t pick up the Minnesota Vikings Defense for my fantasy football. That thing’s amazing.
0-1
but that’s why they make it a 16 (and possibly someday an 18) game season. I’ll be at the game next week. Let’s go!
I'm still a Minnesotan at heart...
I really really, reallly want to know what R4F is thinking right now!
Because the guarantees is just not working man.

Yikes
Good point….
I bet he will dawn a Favre jersey, get taunted, and wonder what his response will be..
Favre definitely had an off-day… But I think it was just as much of the receivers fault as well.
Some of the receivers just were not catching the balls..
Was that a money back Guarantee?
I just lost a bet tonight. Maybe R4F will pay it off.

I think
That our offense won’t be so explosive this year, because it won’t need to be..
Thanks to the defense…
Let’s keep holding opposing teams to under 20……
Need more time to develop Favre - Camarillo plays
Lets Face it, Favre was not “ON” in the second half.
Shades of brilliance near the end of the first half though.

Sadly...
Once again, the Vikings walk off that field in the idea that they could have & should have won that game.. Luckily, it landed at the beginning of the season versus the playoffs… I predict that we’ll turn the tides from here on out…
I dunno about could/should have
We got straight up outplayed in that second half.
How?
Dump passes to anyone worked tonight. Just needed more than dump passes to move the chains.
Chester would’ve added nothing to this game.
I'm still a Minnesotan at heart...
Fail

call it a fail all you want.
But please explain to me how chester would’ve won this game?
The blocking by RB’s was good tonight. The dump passes that we wanted to complete…were completed. Chester doesn’t get anymore space or movement on defenders than Albert Young or Peterson gets.
I love Chester, and I knew he was a great player. But in terms of tonight, he would’ve added very little to this effort. Passes downfield needed to happen, and they didn’t. If you wanna blame the receivers, go ahead (even though I think it was more on Favre).
I'm still a Minnesotan at heart...
The gameplan would've differed ya think?

Penalties may have lost the game too.
Hey, at least it wasn’t a blow out.

close enough game
We held the best defense ever (according to any media outlet) to only 14 points w/ a depleted secondary. Not bad considering how little pressure we put on them.
I'm still a Minnesotan at heart...
That's a really big positive thing..
Now imagine if our offense was firing on all cylinders..
Holy yikes!!! right?
Chilly said it best when he said that he would rather play the Saints at the end of the season versus the beginning…
