Don't let this win get to your heads. It's 1 of 16. I said that before the game back in August. If the Vikes would've won, I would've taken the same approach. All this means right now...you have a one game lead on us (with head to head tie breaker) with 15 games remaining. Nothing more, nothing less.

vikeforlife you have some good smack cat. but i think you just can't swallow right now because you still believe the vikes should have won, but i can come back right at you and say we really should have won by 28. and i can say that the vikes will fall apart ah by game 4 and chilli will be sent to tahitti, lol just kiddin cat good luck the rest of the way.

The Vikings are still a good team- but what should scare the Vikes is how we ran it right up the gut all second half

The game could have been a w for either team. Saints offense was not at their best. Sp.teams Hartely hooked two fg's. Saints defense won it. This Saints win was not pretty.
The Playoffs are too far for any team , fan, critics to talk about.
I am glad, relieved actually, that the Saints won this game against the Vikings because of the bad press about the NFC Champ game.

The Vikings moved the ball very well right before the end of the half and scored that td. The Saints had trouble running in the first half. At halftime the coaches made adjustments and found a way to run and also shut the vikings o down. While Brad Childress decided to just let Favre make the plays. Kudos to the Saints staff and their defense.

It's not that we had trouble in the first half. We just didn't run the ball in period in the first half.

thank you sf1076 for clearing that up. 3 carries

We looked rusty..the vikes looked overmatched..our O-Line dominated their Vaunted D-line...should have been a blowout

Why should it have been a blow out? The Vikings d was very good besides that opening drive. And our o-line was very good as well. I don't get where you get this blowout from.

Because Payton realized it wasn't working and they need to make adjustments, meaning you did have trouble.

we made adjustments and won, you needed adjustments didn't make them and lost

END OF STORY

Ya I'm not so sure. I mean you're ypc was only 4.0 (that's not counting Brees' kneels). Nothing that spectacular. They'll play better next week.
