Saints get chance at redemption in playoff return to Minnesota

Find a way to stop that stud Theilen (sp), utilize Alvin in space & generate a consistent pass rush.

BTW, Cameron Jordan is my vote for Defensive Player of the Year. Dominating performance on Sunday in a playoff game.

Bring it.

We're gonna have to be quicker on the exchanges in coverages or just go man-to-man with a cover-two...

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...

i still think payton was sandbagging kamara for the vikes game, we need him in space to get full frontal we used tight end for a change , hey thats in the back of vikes head now, snead may be brought into playbook this week ,

This is one of the teams I really hated as a Saints fan as a kid; really want this win badly, in their house, deny them the first home game Superbowl...

The Most hated Minnesota Vikings. 2nd only to Atlanta.

Ok, not the most hated but you get the point.

Just win!

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.

As weird as that game was, we were in the red zone 5 times that game and had Harris at CB. 4 FGs isn't going to cut it.
