Jeez, Kevin Williams too!

They'll be fine by Sunday..(KW for sure) This is a game you just don't miss. (hopefully at 100%)

If our defense shows up, the game is over. The Saints won't stop our offense. But the key is our defense and over the past month they've been a no show except the

Dallas Beat Down!!!




Sorry, I'm still reveling in the win.

Oh really? You know I have to reply to this! If your defense shows up? Our offense will score on your defense. The Saints WILL stop your offense. All of our defensive players are healthy and ready to go. Darren Sharper will watch Brett Favre like a hawk. As he said earlier..."you know who I want"! I know he wants payback against the team that did not re-sign him to their roster. That's okay...we got him now! Everyone is predicting a close game. A good game. I'm up for that. Our "12th man"...the Superdome crowd will be loud and proud just like they were last week! A challenging game...that the Saints win!

I wonder which Vikings defense will show up Sunday. I'm just fine with the "no show" Vikings defense. It'll make our win that much easier.

GEAUX SAINTS!

I know a lot of people have been saying that the Saints win wasn't so impressive because the Cards defense was playing like garbage (which they were). However, the Saints did hold the Cardinals offense to 14 points, and 7 came on the first play with that wacky run. Previous week the Cards scored 51. That's gotta say something about their defense, no? I'm not saying they'll keep the Vikes to 14, but if the Saints keep them to, say, 28, and score 35 themselves, then that's all they've gots to do. And that's what they've done for the bulk of the season.

 

[JediMike71]

Yeah, remember earlier in the season when the Saints were scoring an average of at LEAST 35 points every game? I know that they can do that again after they rebounded and beat the Cards by scoring 45 points. All of the analysts on NFL Network are saying that the Vikings must have a great game with scoring in the air from Favre and their receivers, and on the ground from Adrian Peterson. If we can stop one, or even both of those things, then the Saints will win. I have confidence in them to do that.

Kinda weird Saints just beat a team the Vikes lost to, and the Vikes just beat a team the Saints lost to. Gonna be good!

I'm not worried about the Saints D at all. I'm worried about their Offense, we stop that we win IMO.

The thing that has been noticeable all year to me is the speed at which the Saints play - at least at home - I don't think the Vikings can match that, even though they are a dome team too.

The Vikings have been a pretty mediocre/bad road team this year; that spells trouble.

The Vikings will get a dose of what the Cowboys got last week:

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE DOME!!!!

I just hope the crowd music they pump through the loud speakers is loud enough to work against the Vikes.

I hope you're not implying a 34-3 Beat Down.

Not exactly....referring to the 12th man and home field noise. That will definitely slow down the Vikings pass protection and amplify the Saints pass rush.

Would that be the same Saints team with the noisy stadium that lost its last two home games against Dallas and the awful Bucs?

Problem was, we just didn't know to pipe in audience noise through the loudspeakers, nor to pay off the refs. Clearly, we have rectified this situation.

Nice veiled reference.

Let me jump back on the commentator subject for a minute.

I can't believe all the hate for John Madden. He has one of the funniest lines in NFL commentating history.

I was watching a Packers game that he was covering. The camera panned around the fans and stopped on a guy dancing the Macarena while wearing a cheese head. And John Madden called it "The Macarena and Cheese".

I was frakkin' rolling!

Percy Harvin missed today's practice with a headache.

Damn, I hope this isn't the start of any migraine issues.

I always liked Madden. He was at his best from '79 through the mid-nineties. After that, he lost something.

 

[OSCORP]

Migraines or not Harvin will play (game is too big)


I think.

I'm very happy about all the teams left! Part of me really wants a Jets VS Vikings Super Bowl (how cool - rookie VS old-timer), but I also really like the Colts and the Saints. I'm looking forward to this weekend's games more than the actual Super Bowl - it will be interesting to see what happens!

Best quote goes to Mike Ditka when he coached the Saints, he said they should change there name to the NO Elixirs, cause every team they play gets better..
