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.

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.

      It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
