Then we lost one of our starting DTs for the season. Two of our lbs went down for about three weeks, and here's the kicker, BOTH of our starting corners went down for what was almost the rest of the season.

As soon as both of our starting corners came back, our pass defense has been MUCH better, and they are playing exactly like they were the first of the year. So if I were you, I wouldn't underestimate our defense, whether it's against the run, or the pass. Arizona did the same thing, and they were all soaking in ice for about a day, after Saturday.
That's what I ment about excuses... injuries are a fact of the NFL. Vikes have had their fair share too, but our D is still #6. We are actually playing a 5th round rookie at MLB, because the starter broke his leg. Brinkley played great in shutting down Barber and Felix Jones, I imagine he'll do the same against Bush, Thomas, and Bell.

The Vikes D is ready to put pressure on Brees, so he can have a Dallas like day in NO... 4 sacks, 1 INT, 2 lost fumbles, 81 rating.

Ok. At which point in the season, were you guys down 3 DBs, and having to hit the street to find FAs, to fill the holes? Do you even know how many CBs we signed and released since October? About 5. Our safety play, in our defensive scheme, becomes mute, when you don't have quality cover corners. Instead of playing the run, or just watching for opportunities for picks, they were put in the role of double coverage.

Our defensive scheme, and the Vikes, are like comparing apples to oranges.

The Saints are going to roll you up in your Viking's snuggie and beat you senseless, boy. I'm going to be so embarrassed for your squad.

Dream on! And do come back after the Saints oust the Vikes, and admit that you were wrong!
