How are the Saints the least talented? My Lord just look at that receiving corps, the OL, QB and the running backs. I will say the same thing I said with regards to the Packers against the Cardinals. I just don't know how the Vikings can stop the Saints (I didn't realize our defense would give up 45 freaking points but that's another topic).
If the Saints get up early, it's going to be lights out. Say a 10-0 lead in the first quarter or a 17-3 type lead in the 2nd quarter. Favre has never been a master at coming back and it's those type situations he gets careless with the football (see the AZ and Panther games). Yes, they did comeback against the Bears, but they didn't get the prize and the entire Bears secondary in the 2nd half was backups.
If the Vikings are close or ahead though at halftime they are going to be tough to beat. I said it all year long, if the Vikings trail early they're in deep trouble (see Pitt, AZ, Panthers, Bears) but if they get the lead they're almost impossible to beat. I kept banging that drum even when they were 10-1...to that point the only time they were behind was against SF and it took a miracle to win that one. Down the stretch they were behind early 3 times and lost all 3 of those games.
We saw Dallas do it when the Saints had a full head of steam, the Cardinals' had two of their top defensive backs out and they, like the Vikings, have had very close games. But yes, the Vikings do need to take the crowd out of it as soon as possible.
