y*so*blu Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Ahh, yes. The ... "Saints." Paragons of virtue, ethics, and sportsmanship as I'm sure we all remember. We've been waiting a long time to exorcise this holy ghost. Let's take care of business next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are coming off a tough playoff game against a division rival, and just lost Andrus Peat. We are fully rested. We are playing at home, with a crowd that will be seeing their first playoff game in the new stadium. The Saints are 4-4 on the road this year, including losses in their last 3 road games. The Saints have only won 1 game in Minnesota in the last 25 years. We already beat them this year. Convincingly. It was 29-12 until they got a garbage time TD. In that game their leading rusher had 18 yards. Diggs and Thielen combined for 250 yards. The Saints are a good team, but the Vikings are a better team, and we have all the advantages. We beat them convincingly with Sam Bradford and Dalvin Cook. We do not have them anymore. As much as I like Keenum, he's not throwing for 350 yards and 3 TD's against the Saints. This is the one team I am not very confident against. Maybe its PTSD from 2009, but this game has me very uneasy. I do think our defense can give Brees and the Saints offense a migraine, but you never know with Brees at the helm. I'll be at the game on Sunday, so I'll try my best to do my part from the stands. I think it will be a close one, but Minnesota pulls it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 how about bringing in retired Viking players for pep talks to the team this week who played in the 2009 NFCCG? Greenway, Winfield, Williams x2, Jared Allen, Steve Hutchinson, even Favre... might want to leave Kluwe at home though. and Chester Taylor could beat some guys with folding chairs.

Heimdallr Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 it is going to be SUCH a bummer if Foles somehow beats the Falcons and we (potentially) have to go to Philly instead of playing the Falcons at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
