If I were Minnesota, I would have put the nail in the coffin and went for it.

I guess now we still have a glimmer of hope.

True but the longest tenured person we are counting on is not playing up to par. So while that may be true, Brees needs to get his head out his a$$

I don't think we overachieved, certainly not greatly. I think the problem is injuries at too many key positions. We are paper thin at this point and can't take on the Vikings AND the refs.

Injuries is a huge reason we look like this. I doubt any of the teams that made the playoffs lost as many starters as we did. Yet we overcame them. However, Minny is just a terrible matchup for us. Everything we do well, they can counter.

I think he just has no-one to throw it to. Our second best receiver is a RB... It’s absolutely dire that we bring in a new TE and a couple of WR’s this offseason.

That would of been a PI and an extra 15 yards for a late hit on the QB on our defense.

100% agree. Love to know what happened to Snead. Was he overachieving last yr? Cause he has done squat.
