Don't know that even more heavy nickel with CBs in man-to-man on Diggs (Crawley) and Thielen (Lattimore) wouldn't be the answer... |

Re: Saints get chance at redemption in playoff return to Minnesota
Like a lot of people do, I feel like this Saints team NOW is a completely different Saints team than the one we saw at the start of the season. That first Minnie game was a real head-scratcher, as far as Sean Payton-era games go. It just seemed confused and just didn't look right.In a way, that team in the opener looked more like last year's Saints, or the past three years. The unique and truly fun stuff didn't start happening until Kamara's coming out party in week three, and the defense didn't really come together "for real" until just before the bye week. Once we got past the shellacking by the Patriots in the first quarter of that game, it seems like that's when something clicked and the team sort of found its new identity. They were actually pretty good in the Patriots game, other than giving up 20 ridiculous points in the first quarter. This will be an interesting rematch.

Same thing in 2000 - we had just beat the "Greatest Show on Turf twice in a row... but Moss, could fly and proved he was the real "greatest show on turf." Major let down - but still we (at least I was stoked we had actually WON a play off game - like a huge monkey was off our backs. In '09 we were a 12 men on the field penalty away from loosing that game. And who could blame Farve, if his last throw of his storied career was an interception. In the post game interview the guy looked like Max Schmeling after Joe Lewis in '36. |
