Bullshinski...Ask Vikings if they'd like to have played that NFC Championship Game in Minnesota?

That game's not in the Dome, we're not in the Superbowl - Brett Favre even said it was the difference in that game...

And we earned that home field advantage and because of that, we earned that Superbowl...

Some teams are better than others with the home field - Superdome used to be the toughest, think Seattle has that title right now...

Now if you're Atlanta, not so much...

How about the Giants winning it all as a wild card. That would be fun. Rather have home field advantage. Cam couldn’t run partly because of injury and we had Okafor. Him being out is going to hurt. I think we take it. I want to see him pout so bad. We have to hit on all cylinders. We play like the last 2 weeks and we are in trouble.
Hit cam early and often. Cheap shots, a few penalties, I don’t care. Just get him rattled early.
That’s the key. Even if he makes the pass if we get a couple of hits in when he first releases the ball we win.

I hate to say it. But, I do think this is must win territory. A loss means our chance of winning the division go to 26%. Although, making the playoffs is still at 70% without all other data on wins/losses tomorrow.

How dare you mess up a "What If" post with FACTS!!! LOL

The Saints didn't "EARN" it. The Vikings gave it to them. Vikings had to win against the Bears to secure home field and they LOST giving it to the Saints.

Just win the f-en game already. No f-en exuces, execute, make plays, score points and win the f-en game.

Hmmkay...?

Well?

FOUR. Been coming for YEARS to two games per year. Some away games as well. And I sit all over the dome, usually between the 30's. Most recently with Budsdrinker in 127, however.

YOU? WELL?

And you still say the visiting fans are coming in record numbers and implying that they are unnerving our team with their noise? And you have season ticket holder telling you to sit down and enjoy the game and not shout? I've also been attending a couple of games a year and have never experienced this. Can anyone else here verify what Alaska Saints is implying? It's never been my experience nor anyone else's that I've checked with that are regular Superdome fans.
