That said, I believe we had the best scoring defense in the league and forced a boat load of turnovers. Anyone can tell you that if you win the turnover battle, the likelihood of winning the game is greater than 70% (I think it's actually much higher). One other thing I'd like to mention is that when the Colts won the Superbowl, they had one of the worst defensive units during the regular season yet dominated in the postseason... which is all that matters. So as much as you want to brag about your regular season rankings, that stuff means absolutely means jack squat.
Home teams that win the turnover battle in the playoffs have won 95% of the games according to a stat I heard a couple of weeks ago on the NFLN.

Yeah, I think they took their ball and went home. Or they realized that arguing with Saints' fans about football is like playing golf against Jesus. You just can't win.

O.K. You asked for it. First, I will pose a question to you. Do you think Kurt Warner and his receivers are slouches? Before you answer that and make your own excuses, you may want to look back and see what they did to your beloved Vikings about a month or so ago. See what happened when they played us with a HEALTHY secondary? Not very much. Jabari Greer was 2nd to ONLY Darelle Revis in percentage of getting burned. The Saints starting corners of Greer and Porter have allowed only ONE TD pass against them all year. If you don't know who they are, make yourself acquainted with them, because they will be on your boys all game long....and it will be man-on-man. I stated in another thread a couple of days ago that if the Saints can shut down arguably THE BEST WR IN FOOTBALL, what makes anyone think that they can't shut down Sidney "I wish my name was Jerry" Rice, Bernard "Damn, I stole a lot of money on that contract" Berrian, or Percy "Sledge" Harvin? With those two in the line-up, that allows Sharper (the man Minnesota thought was washed up) to play center field and be a playmaker like he does best. Add a guy who can really bring the lumber in Roman Harper, and I would take our secondary over yours any day of the week. The #25 ranking is skewed because early in the season, teams were having to play from behind, so they passed the ball. Later in the season, the Saints were playing with a lot of injured starters on defense. Most important the starting corners. Even our third corner was banged up with injuries (hamstring, concussion). That left us with a rookie corner and two guys signed off the street. Our depth was exposed. Not our defense. You saw what happened to the Cards when we had our top three corners healthy. They sure didn't do very much.

Secondly, putting Ryan in that category with the "un-experienced" QB's is just asinine, and shows that you aren't aware how good of a QB is is after on two years. He scares the living crap out of me knowing that he is in our division for several years to come. And about Stafford, didn't you guys play them twice? Also, let's run down the list of "inexperienced" QB's you guys played this year. Derrick Anderson (horrible), Stafford (twice), Shaun Hill (he almost beat you guys in your own place), Joe Flacco (since you wanted to put Ryan in the mix, and he's not as good as Ryan), Matt Moore (lit you guys up like a Christmas tree), and Jay Cutler (picked you guys apart after a HORRIBLE year). You might want to do some more research before you start talking your boys up.

I give the Vikings a lot of credit for having a great defensive line, but then again, they have yet to see a line like the Saints. Probably the most underrated line in football. One All-Pro, Two Pro-Bowlers, and two alternates to the Pro Bowl. The only person on that line that worries me is Bushrod, but Coach Payton learned from the Cowboys game not to leave him alone against an elite pass-rusher. He will get help from the tight ends and running backs. I honestly think that Jared Allen is a bit overrated, though. Sure, he had 14.5 sacks, but 7.5 of those came against that Packers line that got Rodgers sacked 50 times this year. I'm not saying he's not good, but I'm saying he may not be as good as everyone thinks he is.

You imagine the Saints will put 8 in the box? You are imagining wrong. Gregg Williams will be putting in all different kinds of packages to throw Favre off his game. If he can do that against the likes of Tom Brady, Eli Manning, and Kurt Warner and make them look average at best, who says that he won't do it against Favre, as well. There will be a game plan and packages on Sunday that the Saints haven't even used this season. They pulled some new ones out against the Cards, and they will do the same thing against the Vikings.

In short, there are a lot of things you aren't seeing in this Saints' team that needed to be pointed out.
Excellent post!

Whereas, the Saints D is ranked #25, not good at much except INT's. Most of those INT's came against inexperienced QB's Stafford, Sanchez, Freeman, Henne, and Ryan. Favre has protected the ball all year, so I don't think he's going to collapse against the Saints. I imagine the Saints will stick 8 in the box, like all other teams, so they can stop Peterson. So Rice or Berrian will be singled, which the Cowboys learned was stupid. Vikes live by "damn if you do... damn if you don't"... play the pass the run burns you... play the run and the pass burns you.

As I see it the Vikes Offense is not that far behind the Saints, whereas the Saints D is seriously lacking.

Please bring the excuses...
thats why they play the game!

Injuries are not the excuse Sunday brother. Lack of injuries is what you Epicaly Fail to understand. It is what you will be scratching you head/azz on Sunday afternoon wondering what happened.

Farve is Great but he is not Gandalf the Gray or White and has no magical spell for when he does not have the ball.

The first rule in Combat and war is to KNOW your enemy. You and the other Viqueen know your ranks (maybe) but do not know or understand your enemy.

You are so full of your own ignorance you have not even taken the time to assess the opponent. You have no clue that the Defense you will face on Sunday was absent from week 7 till last Sat.

Live in your ignorance, drink your purple kool-aid you get from ESPN, and the Dallas Twins on NFL Channel.

Come back Monday and PLEASE relive your Sunday Experience with us.

Keep in mind the Same "You are facing an Epic quarterback" was preached to us all last week.

I was waiting for someone in the stands to run and jump on top of him as he paused in the prone position to gather him self on the field and yell into his face "You got knocked the F&$% out!"

Re: #1 O vs #6 D and #5 O vs #25 D Who wins?

let me throw something else out for you dorks to chew on

if the saints have the highest scoring defense in the league, doesnt that mean the offense didnt get to touch the ball after those TDs

so not only would our offense not touch the ball, Drews opportunities for TDs went down, our rushing opportunities for TDs went down, our time of possession went down despite our points going up

and most importantly.....OUR DEFENSE PLAYED MORE......our defense was on the field more than any other defense in the league because why? because our offense scored so easily and because our defense scored so easily

now eventually, a team is going to be able to move the ball on our defense because it would be on the field so much

i know its hard for vikings fans to understand something like that, but if you keep trying i know you can get it.....you guys are getting so smart....by the end of this week most of you will probably be able to read!!! im proud of you vikings fans
