If I was a viking fan, I woulda smashed everythign in the house watching that. Cuz in a way the vikings did give it away. But NO did wht they had to in order to win. After the 3 fumbles and 2 interceptions, it's not like the Saints should have snapped the ball and handed it right back to the Vikings because its "fair". Saints were presented with an opportunity (albeit an extremely lucky one) and did what they had to do and won the game. In just overtime alone, the Vikings could have stopped them on 4th down, could have picked of that Colston bobble, had the defensive holding on 3rd down. I was pulling for the Favre's and ill be cheering on the Manning's this week but NO won that game

The Viking shot themselves in the foot...There was what? 6 turnovers?...and the Saints made it to OT? The Saints are definately not the offensive juggernaut Nawlinns believes they are...They oughta be thankin AP, Berrian & Harvin for handing them the tickets to Miami...

Vikes lost.

YES, Saints fan, you did cause some of those fumbles...but some you did not. If Adrian Fumbleson knew how to hold on to the rock, it'd be a different story. So I'll give you that, you made him fumble, congrats. But they held Brees's numbers way down and if Favre had not handed you the game on a silver platter...it'd be an ugly morning for you today.

You better prepare very weill for the Colts because I'm pretty sure they won't be as sloppy as the Vikings were. You'll have to earn THAT win.

Edit: Just checked the regular season stats. The Colts lead the lead with fewest fumbles. 11. They lost 5.

Are you calling me a Saints fan?

Despite my Cajun-inspired nickname, I'm far from it.

I'm just not as much of a blind, jealous homer as most on this board and can see objectively. How can you credit Minnesota with holding Brees' numbers down, but not give the same credit to a New Orleans squad that did everything they could to win the game? Most of the fumbles weren't caused by Peterson or Berrian just letting the ball slip out of their hands -- they were caused by defenders doing everything in their power to take the ball back.

If that were Chris Harris knocking the ball out of Peterson's hands or Chris Gamble stripping the ball from Berrian, we would all be applauding our defense -- not saying the other team lost the game.

Just give credit where credit is due. New Orleans was the more complete team last night, and in my opinion they're a more complete team than Indy.

Just checked the regular season stats. The Colts lead the lead with fewest fumbles. 11. They lost 5.

Out of curiosity, how did Minnesota's turnover stats look before last night's game?

Why is there no "did the refs give it away" option?

you mean b/c of......

*Thomas was down at the 1 with a ref standing right there - gives him the TD

*Brady Rule not called - play resulted in 1st pick. How many times do refs not call that? Even crap QBs like Jake get that call.

* OT - pass interference. Only way to have called that was offensive pass interference but it should have been a no call.

those are just a few I recall that stood out.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
