Thanatos 2,847 Posted January 13, 2018 Lattimore is the defensive rookie of the year in my book. He shut down Julio what on earth makes you think Thielen or Diggs can get him? The Vikes would do well to go to the other side of the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted January 13, 2018 Lattimore is the defensive rookie of the year in my book. He shut down Julio what on earth makes you think Thielen or Diggs can get him? The Vikes would do well to go to the other side of the field. Julio disappears randomly throughout each and every season. Lattimore is a stud but he's still a rookie.

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 13, 2018 Lattimore is one guy. And Keenums statline isnt all that different than Brees. Its not like were talking about Brett Hundley here. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Their stat lines are similar this year but that doesn't mean all things are equal here lol. We're talking about a guy with no playoff starts vs a guy with a super bowl ring and a decade plus of experience. It's not the end all be all but it's not like it doesn't matter either. In a match up this close it could well be a difference maker. Edited January 13, 2018 by seanbrock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted January 13, 2018 And Brees playoff numbers are preeeeeeeetty nice. I think everyone assuming the Vikings are the better team is going to be in for a surprise. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted January 13, 2018 The Vikings might be the better team but they're going to to have to prove it and if they lose this game it's not going to be because they didn't play their A game. That's a pretty ridiculous notion tbh. The Saints are a hell of a football team. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos 2,847 Posted January 14, 2018 Matty Slush is nowhere near the playoff QB that Breesy is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 14, 2018 Ryan has put up better numbers in the last 5 years than Brees has (in the playoffs) so I am not sure that is exactly true. I guess he did have a few shaky starts there really early on in his career though, but likewise Brees wasn't any good last years playoffs and was carried by his team so .. We will see what Brees can do tonight. Should be a good one (i hope). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted January 14, 2018 Focusing on enjoying this game regardless of outcome unless the team gets walloped, at which point it will be obvious and I will quit watching. I love watching football but being a fan doesn't come with a contract binding you to being in a bad mood when your team loses. I will do something else that makes me happier than hell if it's clear the game is going south.Good luck to Eeflux, though he's almost never here any more, and any other Saints fans who might be trolling our website. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BJORN 679 Posted January 15, 2018 DIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS WOOOOOOO Great game! I really thought the Saints had it and the Vikings committed a cardinal sin of giving Brees the ball with a minute left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted January 15, 2018 Gratz Bware and OSUViking was a great game. I hope Sendajo (sp?) and Rhodes are 100% for Philly Thanks. I can't imagine Sendejo will be healthy but am hopeful. His injury changed our defense because he's good enough in coverage to allow Zimmer to employ HSmith as a hybrid S/LB and even a situational pass rusher. If we don't have Sendejo next week, Smith will need to play more traditionally, but at least we'll have a week to work on it. The Saints are in a good place despite the loss. Not only are they built for the immediate future, they've creating a roster that can handle the transition through Brees' retirement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Packers Dynasty 2010 116 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I still can't believe the play. I have no idea what Williams was trying to do there. You don't need to deliver a big blow, wrap his legs up and game over. Mentioned it in the shout box but I think Payton was pretty stupid at the end too. Why call an out route on that 1st down after the 4th down conversion? They were in FG range already and needed to get Minnesota to burn timeouts. Instead they throw a pass for all of 3 yards and end up out of bounds, brilliant. If they just run it, Minnesota has 0 timeouts and the end result is probably different. On defense, what was the purpose of having a linebacker out there? I would have had a safety out there sitting on the goalline and instruct to him to not leave his spot until anyone is near him.

BC 331 Posted January 15, 2018 I get not trying to commit a foul but when the ball is launched and just hanging in the air like it was, you have to recognize the situation and be saying to yourself throughout the duration of the whole play "make a tackle in bounds make a tackle in bounds." A few hops and a skip towards the play just like Stephon Diggs is doing in his route would have been textbook. I'm really glad it happened though. Humor in football especially this late in the season is something I definitely need from my football watching experience. My deepest condolences to Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas, Mark Ingram, Marshon Lattimore, Max Unger, etc.... all those guys were full of piss and vinegar all year and were one of the funnest squads to watch dominate throughout the regular season.

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 15, 2018 It was a dumb play, but I do feel bad for Marcus Williams. Dude was just about in tears at his locker and you just know that people are gonna be massive massive dicks to him probably for a while. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude was just about in tears at his locker and you just know that people are gonna be massive massive dicks to him probably for a while. If you're going to knock a man out. Knock him out and get PI that prevents a 61 yard TD. Idiotic and poor situational awareness no matter how you look at it. He took a middle of the road approach and that's what he fucking gets. If he goes about it the right way, it's a wrap up tackle. If he goes about it the wrong way, he gets called for targeting or PI that breaks up that whole play completely.
