Really? He only placed 1 punt inside the 10.

i liked the pick but not trading another pick to move up and get him.....not only were people upset about the pick, but about getting rid of extra picks to get him

you know what i meant......his punts made the vikings drive from a long field every single time

only once did they have a short field and thats when we punted from our own endzone

morstead did a great job dropping punts inside the 20

he punted 7 times on sunday and dropped 4 of them inside the 20.....had 0 touchbacks and only 3 punts were returned for only 15 yards including 1 that was only returned to the 10 yardline

also almost all of his kickoffs were touchbacks....i remember more often than not, percy harvin and chester taylor were running backwards to try and make the catch in the back of the endzone

by the way, Congratulations.

Not quite sure why you would think this? Peterson had no fumbles LOST! Berrian, Farve, and Harvin each had a LOST fumble. Peterson also had 3 touchdowns and 122 yards rushing.

Maybe it should be Brad Childress for his great calls in the last minute and 12 men penalty and his teams lack of discipline.

I think it's the Saints defense, as they caused all those fumbles and int's, and beat the **** out of Favre. I know you said MVP, as in player, but I guess the kicker is as good as any, since he didn't choke like many of the other kickers *cough*Kaeding* cough did.

I think my favorite teams MVP was Peyton Manning

I think the MVP was the 12th Man.

I went with Thomas, his running was inspired, especially that td run. Second place would HAVE to be Porter. That interception, saved the game for us. He misses that pick, and Vikings kick the field goal. So I would actually have to call a tie between those two.

i am a die hard Saints i am glad we won the game! However, we got away with some very questionable calls by the refs!

tracy porter also missed an open field tackle earlier in that same series on 3rd down that would've given us the ball back a lot sooner

he played well but his biggest isssue coming out of college was his ability to tackle in the open field......

had he stopped berrian we wouldnt have had to go into overtime

The Vikings were the beneficiaries of some very questionable calls against the Saints, as well. It went both ways. Officiating was downright horrible in the game.

The play I had in mind was the Favre/Peterson handoff exchange just before the end of the 1st half. HUGE swing in momentum.

just some football knowledge......QBs are taught not to let go of the ball....to hold it tight until the running back TAKES the ball from him

i blame the handoff on favre because he let the ball go without having peterson take it from him
