Vilma says new overtime rule is a "slight" to the Saints

“If you read between the lines, we feel like they’re saying well, if Minnesota would have had a possession who knows what would have happened,” said Vilma, who lives in Miami and was playing in a friendly tennis match with world number two Caroline Wozniacki on Thursday at the Sony Ericsson Open.

“We don’t appreciate that. I don’t appreciate it at all.”

Seriously? lmao.. I get it. He needs to find anything, something! to get hype about during workouts in the offseason..

ashame he's looking soooo deep and between every little line, cause I can't take him seriously... at all.

Vilma needs to shut the hell up.

The rule change was not a slight on the Saints. There have been a lot of proponents to changing the OT rule. The Saints vs Vikings game just brought that arguement to a bigger stage.

This change was LONG overdue.

If the Saints would have beat the Panthers in OT for a playoff game, this board would explode with crybagging much like the Vikings did.

Maybe one day y'all might know what it's like to be WORLD CHAMPIONS.

Probably not.

As if the Vikings had beaten the Saints, the Saints fan wouldn't have been crying about it??? Don't be a douche.

This thread is about Vilma and the fact that this has NOTHING to do with the Saints/vikings OT game. The OT rules have needed a change for years.

That's a little naive. I say either team pulls it out in regulation this rule change never even gets mentioned at the owner's meeting.

People have been bitching to have the rule changed for years. The playoff game just put the issue on a much bigger stage.

It is no way was a slight on the Saints.

Naive? OK... I agree with MadHatter... it was a stupid setup for OT in a major professional sport, everybody knows it and has for years.

It created a situation where the playoff rules are different than regular season rules (something they still haven't quiet fixed) and it gave too much weight on the outcome of a coin toss.

At least they've watered down the effect of the coin toss now.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
