Vikings vs Saints thread

[TwoCentPlain]

Keenum and the Vikes were lucky. I don't like their chances against Philly. I don't want to see Philly in the SB. At least my nightmare SB scenario, Philly-Pgh SB, did not play out this year.

Coach Johnson just stated that as a coach he would’ve told the player during the timeout before the play to not interfere. So it’s not such a bad play after all. Bad, but not as bad as it looked. And it looked bad.

It's one thing not to interfere. It's another not to be in position to make a tackle. He basically ducked his head going in to make a tackle rather than keeping his head up and breaking down to make a tackle. He makes the tackle, the game is over.

Vikings just saved the post season. What a finish!!!!

My wife is from Minnesota and is a huge Vikes fan. Once the Cowboys are eliminated I pull for the Vikings (if they are still in it). She was on the verge of tears when they snapped the ball for that last play. She said out loud "We need a freaking miracle". She had tears in her eyes and they were going to drop anyway but they had a whole different meaning by the time they hit her chin. I haven't seen her that excited in a long time. So happy for her.

Hope you were rewarded.

Even if he makes tackle,
Minn kicks fg though.

The wr went sideways on his jump, that's why the db missed him

The DB #43 had his head up his butt. That is why he missed him. #43 took stupid to a level I have never seen before. May be the all-time stupidest play ever in the NFL.

They wanted the Vikings? I thought the Vikings defense would be tougher for them.

Yeah. They want the Vikings. I don’t get the logic honestly.

Time would have expired

Damnit... my brother is a huge Vikings fan (so I have to hate them or I will never hear the end of it)... I'm a huge Cowboys fan... I hate the Pats... and the Jags don't stand a chance... Great...

Still how the **** does one team have 100 penalty yards and the other only 25... one of the worst officiated games I have seen all year

I'm pretty certain that the "full menu" will be available tonight. I think I'll sample a bit of everything.

Not if he makes the tackle in bounds. I don't think Minn had a timeout.

 

[DandyDon52]

Not sure about time factor

 

[CF74]

It almost looked like he jumped out of the way.

He took himself out of the play on purpose

 

[tyke1doe]

I don't think so. It was about four seconds left when that catch was made. You tackle him in bounds then lay on him for about two, three seconds.
Then the linemen were still downfield with the quarterback. It would have taken them more than four seconds to get downfield and get set.

Basicallly, Williams makes the tackle, the game is over.

Even Bill Buckner thought that DB whiffed

As Denzel Washington would say, "My man".

The Eagles offense struggled against the Falcons, who are good but nowhere near great. Nick Foles now has to go up against the #1 ranked defense, and his offense can't hold a candle to the Saints offense. Some of y'all just want to be scared all the time.

This tweet is legendary...

(Gleason is the former Saints player who was diagnosed with ALS a few years ago and is now in a wheel-chair, paralyzed from the chest down, for those unfamiliar). Great sense of humor.

Yea he just mistimed his run up to make the hit and couldn't pull back in time, still I would have made the hit and trusted a sometimes shaky kicker to miss it then leave the guy totally free to go to the end zone like that.
