This is going to be a game won in the trenches.
 

You have arguably the best offensive line (Saints) going up against arguably the best defensive line. You see what the Vikings can do when the opposing team's offensive line cannot protect the quarterback. They were all over Romo today. Fortunately, the Saints offensive line is better at protecting Brees. This game is going to be smash mouth from the starting whistle.

We will Dominate

We will sqash the Vikes like a grape!

Watching this game made me very scared. I was hoping for a shootout, maybe a chance to get film on how to stop the Vikes defense. Yikes! I want a Super Bowl so bad this year. Our O-Line better be sitting with Brees in the film room after hours getting some edumacation on that front four.

Payton will have us ready..I trust in Payton.....

Ah! But on the other side of the ball, sack time! :D

Re: This is going to be a game won in the trenches.
 

Yes it will ... Good thing we're playing in the dome... And we do have some payback of our own from previous years losses to the Viqueens. It's our time!

Re: This is going to be a game won in the trenches.
 

We have some advantages & I think we will match up well with them.

I am sure that the Dome & the home crowd will give us the edge.

I wish I could be there!!

Re: This is going to be a game won in the trenches.
 

That noise in the mall dome did affect Romo..i think we do the same to Farve....COME ON CROWD!!!..help our boys out.....i know you will..damn i wish i could be there..

Ooh, I can't wait! My Vikings friends are still talking sh*t about them beating us last year in regular season. If (haha, when) we beat them next week, I can finally say, "It doesn't matter if you beat us in regular season, we beat you when it counted!"

:D

It should be a great game. Great match up

Re: This is going to be a game won in the trenches.
 

I think the Saints O-line and D-line are underrated.

Re: This is going to be a game won in the trenches.
 

To slow down Minn's line:
Brees will need to check off to max protect and Reggie & PT will need to get some chip blocks in before their patterns (outlets). Both RB's did a great job blocking Saturday. We'll need it again.

Re: This is going to be a game won in the trenches.
 

Now while the Williams' tandem in the middle are intimidating, our interior line has tremendous size that's capable of neutralizing them. It should be a very fun battle to watch. Also... while watching the Zona game, you've got to be impressed with the push our defensive tackles got. The Vikings themselves better not overlook big Sed inc. in the middle or else it'll be a long day.

Re: This is going to be a game won in the trenches.
 

Interesting thing I read earlier about Pat Williams. The article said that opposing teams have noticed his decline in play, partly from being 37 years old and another part that he's been playing with an elbow injury. RB's have been keying in on him a lot more than normal. With our guards and center playing at the high level they are, I can see the Saints running in his direction a lot more.
