“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.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      Then why are they paying QBs so much compared to other players? QB are making so much it's harder and harder to pay other players. If a guy plays like 1 of 11 then there pay should be in line with that. Not all QB should be breaking the bank just because your next or a former 1st rounder There is a reason they say try to win it all on a QB rookie deal because after that they can cripple a team on what it can do. I would rather not do that for a bottom 1/3 QB. Cam and Jake have been the only QBs worth investing long term into this team has had I would rather not lower the bar. If a guy don't got the IT factor and it shows I would rather not invest long term into them and keep looking

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
