Yeah. . .I've got no catchy title this morning. Sorry about that.
So, what do the Vikings need to do to have even a ghost of a chance of avoiding 2-12 this afternoon?
1) Get to Drew Brees - As we stated earlier, the Saints give up more sacks on the road than they do at home, and gave up six in their bad road loss a few weeks ago to the St. Louis Rams. Jared Allen is chasing the single-season sack record, and he's probably going to get a lot of extra attention from the New Orleans offensive line today. If that's the case, then other players are going to have to step up and get to the quarterback, or else what already looks to be a long day for the Vikings' secondary is going to get even longer.
2) Hammer the run game - Of course, the Saints won't score many points if Brees is standing on the sidelines, and the way for the Vikings' to do that is to pound away with the run game. That Adrian Peterson fellow is back after missing three games, but even with him being out the last three weeks, the Vikings still have the fourth-ranked rushing offense in the NFL, averaging 145.6 yards/game, and are only one of two teams in the NFL (along with the Philadelphia Eagles) that average more than 5 yards/carry. Whether it's Peterson, Toby Gerhart, or Percy Harvin, the Vikings are going to have to try to shorten the game and pound away on the ground to have a chance in this one. (And please, for the love of everything good, stop handing the ball to Lorenzo Booker.)
3) Look for the tight ends - As a unit, the New Orleans' linebackers have been awful this season (as the Saints fans that have come over this week have attested to), and safety Roman Harper is no great shakes, either. If the Vikings are paying attention and have noticed that sort of thing, this could be the sort of game where Visanthe Shiancoe and, particularly, Kyle Rudolph could play a big role. It's puzzling to a lot of us that Rudolph isn't getting way, way more looks than he is, because he catches pretty much everything thrown his way, but this has the potential to be a breakout game for him.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not expecting a miracle today or anything like that. At best, I'm hoping for this team to continue playing their tails off and not rolling over as we've seen teams do in the past. This team is working towards 2012 already, and hopefully today can give us some positive steps in that direction. I'm not cheering for a loss. . .I can't bring myself to do it, regardless of draft position and all that. . .but I won't be surprised by it when it happens, either.
SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!!

I don't like how you worded that
And please, for the love of everything good, stop handing the ball to Lorenzo Booker.
I think that should be edited to don’t let him touch the ball, because this implies we can try pitching it to him or let him return kicks. He’s fumbled Kickoff Returns and I’m not sure I want to see him try an end around. The only thing he hasn’t fumbled, to my knowledge, is a screen pass, which could be more useful to our offense but seems to be sniffed out superbly by the defense whenever we use it.
Yet another game I won't get to watch.
Stupid fox showing Packers vs. Cheifs. I think Peterson has a big day 150plus yards.

The game
I’m I the only one that would rather see Webb out there, Adrian sit, and somebody needs to tell Brian Robison that beanies are not toboggans.
Three players I'd like to see have good games are...
…Ponder, Sullivan and J. Allen.
Ponder needs a good game right about now. More than anything, I’d like to see him bring his INTs down to 1 or less this game.
The Sullivan signing surprised me. I’d love to see him play in a way that justifies the confidence in him.
And Jared Allen… I want to see him break the sack record TODAY.

is he injured? or what? sorta thought that with our oline problems he may get a chance. who knows he may let us use a draft pick for a guard or wideout or cb. jw
Disappointed by that, too

Idiot Vikings - Idiot coaches
Why not give Webb a 4 or 5 games start to really see what he can do? He could be awesome but we’re never going to know because the coaches are idiots.
We didn't get Ponder for nothing
we have to see what things he can improve on over the offseason,he’s our QBOTF remember
and Ponder is the better QB

Answer: He upset PETA by killing every worm he came across on a football field.

What real shot 1 game in the shadow of the great and pitiful Favre
All I can remember is him laying a wooping on the Eagles
I think you remember the defense laying a "wooping"
and you seem to conveniently forget his next couple of games too.
Billick: "What did McNabb do to deserve being benched?"
Answer: He upset PETA by killing every worm he came across on a football field.
Well you're already making excuses then
If you don’t count his losses then you can’t hardly count the Philly game.
Billick: "What did McNabb do to deserve being benched?"
Answer: He upset PETA by killing every worm he came across on a football field.
How many losses does our precious 1st rounder have?
Don’t get me wrong I like Ponder and I wish him success, but I want to find out for sure who is best
I'm guessing the coaches..
can see that Ponder is the better player in practice and the film room.
Billick: "What did McNabb do to deserve being benched?"
Answer: He upset PETA by killing every worm he came across on a football field.
Well thank god you're not a coach then
you let your bias for a player get in the way

And some arm chair QB knows more?
Sure thing genius

any luck with a stream?
first time in 10 years a vikings game isn’t being carried in my area.
Jared Allen is to football what Jason Voorhees is to Lake Crystal.
Percy Harvin is Devin Hester, except someone very smart decided to teach him how to catch and run routes.
I know it'll be tough against Brees...
But it would be HUGE for JA’s chances at the sack record if he gets one today.
Screw Bree's
