The Saints lost because...

I don't know who that team was today. It wasn't the same team we saw all season. Maybe they looked past the Vikings, like we did against the Falcons. Sometimes ego is your Achilles heel.

Obviously we spent a lot of time reading and watching our own propaganda before this game. Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last.

I have rescind my reason for this lost because I‘ve just seen the replay of the final play and it was a obvious opi so reason for the lost is because of the official who in position to see the arm extended and the sudden stop of p.j William.

This still don’t change my views on Brees. No way should the saints been in that position

This loss is solely on lack of protection for Brees,hands down. Yes he's getting older,but he has proved many times this year he still has it. He was literally under pressure for at least 3/4 of the damn game. The reason the offense seemed to "wake up" in the 4th was the protection improved. They knew the middle of our line was the weak link,exploited it ,and it worked. Fix the o line first in the offseason,then wr and we're back in the playoffs again

saints played with no heart at all... except for Taysom Hill

I'm not even mad. More disappointed because Minnesota came in a whipped our ass. Straight up.

Two years ago I was destroyed by the play.
Last year I was infuriated by the no call.
This year however... We just got rolled. And we couldn't do enough to come back.

It's hard to get mad when it's your own damn fault.

I don't think we got rolled, though. We rolled over.

We were just bad today -- both sides of the ball. Couldn't stop the run ( we were famous for that all season ). I mean Jesus -- we know who Adam Thelin is, ok? Don't get me started on the O Line. Can't blame this one on the refs. So.... yeah. Rolled over and went to sleep. Tomorrow, I bet there are many questions in the locker room and front office.

That list should be way way longer, so I’m just going to pick “all the above.”

Maybe the Antonio Brown curse is legit. Even a workout was too much.

Raiders - on playoff bubble and came up short
Steelers - same
Patriots - bounced in first round at home
Saints - same
