Did the Saints win it, or did the Vikings lose it?

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.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
