A testament to the new defensive coaches getting the next man up properly prepared for the game...

Major, you think that happens with Bill Johnson or Joe Vitt who were operating like cruise directors?

If nothing else, this game definitely allowed the passing game to shake off some the rust...

There were some timing issues with deep balls being under-thrown, screen passes disorganized...

We'll need that deep threat timed right cause we won't get many chances against these Viking DBs...

It'll definitely be a more balanced attack for us to be successful in Minnesota...

Carolina had no answer based off previous 2 games so they took the chance on making Brees beat them and he did just that, but the game was closer and you can argue Carolina probably should had won.

Question will arise what if Minny tries the same thing? They might be a little more aggressive in the secondary than Carolina.

I believe the Vikes will take away Ingram and Mike Thomas. If the Saints are gonna win, and it's gonna be tough, I think the "other guys" as in Ginn, Snead, Coleman, Hill and Lewis will have to come up with several big plays. I also think it may be necessary to unleash Kmara fully and give him 20 carries. I hope Ingram can be effective but I think only a talent like Kmara can really gash that Vikings D. I predict the Superbowl winner is the Saints or Vikings. Yes I'm a WhoDat homer but that's my opinion. WHODAT!

The Vikings averaged about 24 points a game, and the pressure is on them for this game. I just feel better about this game than I did about Carolina. Saints have to play their game, win 3rd downs, and not make mistakes.
