I mean, we shut down two of the top five receivers in the league last night in Moss, and Welker. Now why can't we do that to the Vikes? Not to mention, shutting down Brady! Three superbowl rings, as opposed to Favre's one. I'm sorry, I just think that most of these analysts, have Favre stars in their eyes, when it comes to the vikings, and they arent looking at it from a football perspective.

I don't see why you take what they have to say so personal. It doesn't matter... all that matters is we keep winning and get that win that game they call the Super Bowl. Doesn't matter what anyone has to say right now. Leave it on the field and the rest will take care of itself.

Depth is over-rated also. Its all realitve, who ever is in the game has to make plays period. Brees gets hurt we'll see how is talking depth then.

Euph... Why is it when I bring up a valid argument, on a issue that I feel is important, you say I'm taking it personally? There are many posts on here, regarding the Saints, that can be regarded as "personal" statements. Thus the whole idea behind a "saints forum". A place to discuss, share, and even vent sometimes. That's what this board has been since I joined it, when did that change?

How boring would this place be, if all we do is come in and talk stats all the time? And depth over rated? Are you serious? COME ON MAN!

Well that doesn't make any sense. Why not just go sign a bunch of Joe Blows off the street as our backups.

ok, i have some stats myself. The Saints have 1489 rush yards, split between Bell, Thomas, and Bush. The Vikes have 1329, between Peterson, and their back up, with Peterson having 1084 by himself. That means the back up, has only 208 yards on his own. Now, if we are going to say, that if Brees goes down, we would be hurting, you will also have to say the same about Peterson. Either way, we still have more rushing yards, total, and our backs stay fresher longer, because it's not all on one guy to make it happen.

The only edge, that Minnesota has on us, is their D-line, I will give them that, but that's it. Would it be a good game, yes, but over all better than us, is ridiculous.

So I never do this type of thing but I just had to send an email to that TOOL, and since they wouldn't post it on the show I will post it here for your viewing pleasure.

"So all last week Who Dat nation had to listen to some of your joke NFL
'analysts' talk about how the Saints defense would be no match for New
England, especially the secondary, and then what happened? They Saints
dominated the passing game of Tom Brady and destroyed the Pats. Now,
instead of giving the Saints props we have to deal with talk about the
Vikings being more complete? You are a joke!"

Excellent mail bro. Doubtful they will even care. ESPN is the VH1 of sports reporting. They are more worried about creating drama, out of situations, instead of just reporting the facts. Like yesterday, reporting something about Tiger Woods, that they read off the TMZ website. What's that all about? What's next, reports from myspace?
