I know it wasn't Saints in '09, they beat us in a playoff game. Not sure tho about the '98 tho, Falcons beat us, but did the Broncos have a playoff game?

vike daddy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Andrus Peat won’t return this season, as the Saints are placing him on injured reserve. Senio Kelemete is expected to take over at left guard. The Saints will bring back offensive lineman Bryce Harris to take Peat’s roster spot, Herbie Teope of the Times-Picayune reports. It marks the 16th transaction involving Harris and the Saints since May. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/01/10/saints-place-andrus-peat-on-injured-reserve/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Another fun fact. 10 of the 11 starters were on the roster in '15 when the Vikings lost to the Seahawks. Only Ben Geodon was not on that roster. You could really say 11 out of 11 with Newman since we are usually running a 4-2-5 defense. Should be hungry.

However, right now it's the playoffs. We have yet to win a playoff game. Let's focus on what's in front of us so we can get to the Super Bowl. I'd rather have that.

vike daddy Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 There are a handful of players on the Vikings’ roster who haven’t seen playoff football before. Tight ends coach Clancy Barone asked Rudolph to explain the atmosphere to David Morgan and Kyle Carter, who will see the postseason for the first time on Sunday. Rudolph: “The easiest way for me to explain to people who have never played in a playoff game is: You see the jump that’s made from preseason football to regular season football. Then there is even a little more of a jump when you play on Sunday Night or Monday Night. It’s just another level up.” http://www.1500espn.com/vikings-2/2018/01/vikings-looking-forward-improved-atmosphere-last-playoff-appearance/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the likes of the Seattle secondary, OBJ, Antonio Brown, etc. are more worried about their nicknames and their paychecks than the business ahead.

Eric dunn Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 My biggest worry in this game, as I’ve previously stated is Case Keenum. If he can make some big throws and not turn the ball over I believe we have a good chance to win. But I gotta admit the Saints are the one team left in the playoffs that really worry me, I’m hoping for the best. But it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the Saints came in here and won. Either way I expect a close game. Something like 20-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a little more excited, but I'm not nervous. I'm content with whatever happens. I fully expect them to win. If they lose in a nail-biter (it certainly ain't gonna be a blowout), I'll be extremely disappointed, but I've enjoyed this season to this point moreso than I have any in quite some time. The Saints don't immensely worry me though, because our defense is built to stop an offense like theirs. Should the Falcons win over Philly, I'm more concerned about facing them, because their team is similar to ours, but with a slightly more talented offense.
