New Orleans Saints At Minnesota Vikings - Third Quarter Open Thread

Email
PrintIt's still fairly close, ladies and gentlemen, and that's really all we can hope for thus far.
The Vikings are +2 in the turnover ratio thus far, but unfortunately the Vikings could only turn those two Saints turnovers into two Ryan Longwell field goals. Minnesota has allowed three touchdown passes to Drew Brees, one to Lance Moore one to Jimmy Graham, and a third to Darren Sproles late in the first half. The Vikings got a touchdown thanks to a 10-yard shovel pass from Christian Ponder to Toby Gerhart.
Brees has also completed 20-of-24 attempts on the afternoon for 247 yards, which means that the Vikings have now faced 253 pass attempts since their last interception, and are one half of football away from setting a post-merger record for the longest stretch of games without an interception.
Everson Griffen has been everywhere today for the Vikings as well, as he's been seen in coverage, on defense, and even on special teams recovering failed onside kick attempts by the Saints. Griffen is a guy that needs a bigger role in this defense going forward.
We're ready for the second half of play at the Metrodome, folks.

So why are we running his plays.

A total of 9 touches for AP and Harvin
That needs to drastically increase in the second half.

They had to taze Griffen twice!
Among all his failures, Frazier gets credit for getting him to focus this year.
Yeah, I've been hard on them..
Musgrave in particular, but maybe it’s because he’s still learning.
Or maybe next year we’ll get an of. coordinator who knows his ass from a hole in the ground.

He’s single threaded on one receiver pretty much all of the time and doesn’t adjust.

I like Ponder. He has done this a few times though. At least get it in the same

It's pretty legit.
It’s not like he said that he should have more than 7 yards in the first half.

I'm really hoping someone will want to trade up to the 2 or 3 from 4-6
In the hopes of getting RG3 or Barkley, giving us the chance for a great OT plus another pick.
Yeah but I don't think anyway would trade up to our spot
knowing we just drafted our Qb and the Rams have Braford. If anything they’ll trade up to the 4th spot to take a QB. That’ll be cheaper and smarter for them.

So the oline refuses to block and the defense refuses to cover and tackle.

If this doesn’t make the need for OLinemen in the draft obvious, I don’t know what will. Our other positions of need are available in free agency. Linemen are not.
I bet Mike Wallace decides to stay...

Are we playing the 2000 ravens defense?
The offense had over 900 yards the last two games and now we can’t move the ball at all.

I see Jared Allen working hard on the defense and the rest of the guys didn’t come to play…

Wow. My feed is slow.
30 seconds after your comment, they called a time out.

Funny though.

I'm bummed that we don't have a sack by now

Have to burn a timeout
Because the Vikings were going to try the ol’ “let’s not put anyone within 30 yards of Devery Henderson” defense.

Don’t root for injuries. It isn’t Brees’ fault we can’t stop him.

For the first time since November 2, 2006, when they allowed 400+ yards to. . .

How could so much go so wrong in less than two years.
The coaches suck, the team is sorely lacking talent, and the refs are always out to get us.
