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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
