[xbrokendownx]

Scott Fujita's wife is kinda cute in a weird way

[rcrook]

MNF is non existant to me tonight

[bradyreier]

Go Vikes!

[crit]

Go Brees and Moore! Boo Longwell!

[xbrokendownx]

ahahahahahaha who just saw that thing brees and the saints just did....amazing

maybe my favorite QB in the league

[duhpunk]

i love Drew Brees. been a fan ever since he was in SD.

[IcedOpethBlind]

Breeeeeeees good run

[xbrokendownx]

ed hochuli sighting!

[xbrokendownx]

TD brees to henderson

perfect pass.

[preppyak]

ed hochuli sighting!
and he got it right!

TD NO

[IcedOpethBlind]

Brees to Henderson TD

that was quick

[IcedOpethBlind]

Oh Ed tonight hehehehehe

[LastPlaceRocks]

The Vikes look like shit tonight.

[Scott Weber]

brees is insane.

[0101]

Brees is having a ridiculously good season so far. Nice dude to boot.

[LastPlaceRocks]

Holy shit!

[Scott Weber]

haha wow.

[crit]

Oh shit yes!!! That's 8 for me, this shit just got real Fondest!

[bradyreier]

That was fucking huge! What a lucky break, haha.

[xbrokendownx]

Brees is having a ridiculously good season so far. Nice dude to boot.




you know him?

[0101]

Hah, Wow.

[bradyreier]

Our defense needs to step it up.

[0101]

you know him?

Met him a few times.

[preppyak]

why? Stupid, stupid call

[LastPlaceRocks]

Sadly, the Vikings will probably do shit with New Orleans' gift.

[preppyak]

Sadly, the Vikings will probably do shit with New Orleans' gift.
True...but no way the Vikings go 70-80yds at this point...but AP can break it for 40 on any run, and they can probably move about 15yds to tie the game at least

[xbrokendownx]

Met him a few times.




thats sweet. seems like a great guy, probably my favorite QB in the league

btw as soon as i posted "you know him?" i thought of this:

[LastPlaceRocks]

With how New Orleans is playing the run, that's going to be hard. No one has any respect for the pass, and they shouldn't.

And bullshit on letting the play go when the Saints called a timeout.

[FondestMemory]

Oh shit yes!!! That's 8 for me, this shit just got real Fondest!

yeah. i'm just gonna stop paying attention. at this point i'm conceding victory.

and i'll second whoever said brees was a nice dude. very nice guy.

[0101]

Hah, That movie is ridiculous. He is a pretty great dude. I went to the Saints luncheon that they held downtown and when it was over and the players had the choice to stay and sign autographs or go he stayed and signed for hoards and hoards of people for about 45 minutes until they literally had to drag him away.

[LastPlaceRocks]

Eh, they still got a gift three.

[crit]

Oh it's definitely not over quite yet, especially after that 5 pt FG...whoever wins will only win by a few though, it's going to be right down to the end.

[FondestMemory]

Oh it's definitely not over quite yet, especially after that 5 pt FG...whoever wins will only win by a few though, it's going to be right down to the end.

yeah. i kinda forgot i still had longwell going. haha.

it's gonna be close. i'd love if it comes down to a last second field goal to win the game and decide our matchup.

[LastPlaceRocks]

The Vikings need to play Winfield on offense. He's done everything else.

[FondestMemory]

that was a gorgeous play.

[LastPlaceRocks]

Free play, but this is some horrible playcalling by Childress.

[duhpunk]

good play

[LastPlaceRocks]

Well that works.

[xbrokendownx]

haha wtf no flag for that facemask?

[LastPlaceRocks]

Anyone else think they missed a facemask call?

[1moreandimfree]

Hahah.. Can we catch any more breaks? jesus.

[bradyreier]

It'll be huge if we can get some more points before the half.

[bradyreier]

HUGE!! I hope they don't change this.

[bradyreier]

Yes!

[FondestMemory]

i'd love a long field goal here.

[preppyak]

I find that a stupid ruling though...they don't call a receiver for having possession if its "in his hand" when he touches down, it has to be clear possession and both feet. Its discrepancies like that that make it impossible to understand some rulings

[bradyreier]

Stupid playcalling - no suprise.

[FondestMemory]

I find that a stupid ruling though...they don't call a receiver for having possession if its "in his hand" when he touches down, it has to be clear possession and both feet. Its discrepancies like that that make it impossible to understand some rulings

that one makes sense though. it was in his hand when the knee was down. by looking at video, it's impossible to know what kind of grip he had. it's more than possible to hold onto a football just from the tip.

it would have been too hard to overturn it based on what they had. i think they made the right call.

I guess...its pretty clear that the ball comes out a fraction of a second after his knee touches down, and it wasn't like there was an added hit after he started going down there. If they want the refs to make a subjective call there (does he have possession or not), make it as simple as possible...is the ball moving or is it clearly retained? Its definitely moving

Its tough to overturn though, because it was so close

edit: For example, in that Reggie Wayne catch they just replayed, if that ball so much as turns a few degrees, its ruled incomplete, despite him clearly having control of the ball for the duration of that play. But, this ruling allows someone who clearly doesn't' have full control of the ball (or why did it pop out a quarter second later) to still "have control" by just having their hand on it.

[FondestMemory]

there's a difference between a reception and a fumble though.

[preppyak]

there's a difference between a reception and a fumble though.
True...but I just find it interesting that the criteria they use to decide if a player got possession of the ball is very different than if they lose the ball...I think it just makes it tougher on the refs.

[LastPlaceRocks]

This is an ugly game.

[xbrokendownx]

holy fucking shit what a block!!!

bush returns the punt to the house

[LastPlaceRocks]

That was overdue.

The Vikes need to go back to playing the noon game so there's an excuse to miss them.

[0101]

That was definitely a play we needed to get back into the game. The block was beautiful. He would have had it again just now had he not tripped himself up.

[FondestMemory]

holy shit.

[preppyak]

hahaha...Reggie Bush was a shoe string tripping himself from running 3 back...instead he settles for 2

[xbrokendownx]

no fucking way reggie!

[LastPlaceRocks]

Here's hoping Zygi fires Brad Childress after this.

[xbrokendownx]

gus frerrotte down, Travaris time!

[LastPlaceRocks]

How the fuck is that not a fifteen yard penalty?

[LastPlaceRocks]

Well that was some good T-Jack action. Can't wait to see how this team blows it now.

[1moreandimfree]

I'm in such a bad fucking mood.

[LastPlaceRocks]

And the answer is...offensive pass interference.

[LastPlaceRocks]

I'm in such a bad fucking mood.
You and me both.

[xbrokendownx]

what a fucking catch!

crazy fucking game

[1moreandimfree]

wow

[FondestMemory]

holy shit. that was crazy.

[1moreandimfree]

crazy stuff

[preppyak]

Espn getting lucky these last few weeks...two pretty solid games in a row

[mikeyxxcore]

miller got FUCKED.

[preppyak]

jesus christ he got owned

[LastPlaceRocks]

That was just ridiculous. Thank god Berrian caught that or someone would have felt that wrath.

[xbrokendownx]

jesus christ with all these hits

[1moreandimfree]

No fine

[Scott Weber]

what the fuck is up with his face???

[preppyak]

Lets replay that about 20 more times ESPN

[FondestMemory]

no, that'll draw a fine.

[1moreandimfree]

I'm so disappointed with the Vikings this year

[preppyak]

no, that'll draw a fine.
because its part about safety and part about public perception of safety...because it was mentioned on ESPN, and because it was replayed about 20,000 times, it'll likely draw a small fine.

And ugh, another Grammatica kick

[xbrokendownx]

lol gramatica

[preppyak]

not even close really...he shanked that from the start

[Scott Weber]

hahaha oh god martin.

[atticusfinch]

automatica gramatica no more.

[FondestMemory]

because its part about safety and part about public perception of safety...because it was mentioned on ESPN, and because it was replayed about 20,000 times, it'll likely draw a small fine.

And ugh, another Grammatica kick

nah. because he led with the helmet.

[preppyak]

If the Saints lose, its a demoralizing loss...they held AP to about 30yds, got 2 punt returns from Bush, and are still gonna lose?

[rcrook]

martin please go sit with erick aybar in the doghouse

[1moreandimfree]

this is scary

[1moreandimfree]

fuck yes!

[atticusfinch]

God dammit. Fuck the Vikings.

[xbrokendownx]

haha way to blow it saints

[preppyak]

wow...and Berrian with another play...haha, he got mugged

[rcrook]

you know it's PI when not even the home crowd boos

[Scott Weber]

game.

[atticusfinch]

Well, the Saints are fucked. Nice.

[crit]

That PI seals it. You win, Fondest. That was a good one.

[pand75]

i cant believe brees has 300+ yards and lance moore has 31 yards

[xbrokendownx]

ryan longwell top 5 kicker!

[crit]

i cant believe brees has 300+ yards and lance moore has 31 yards
I know :(

[preppyak]

rally around Gus Frerotte?

[pand75]

I know :(
I'm going to lose the week 100-99 because of Lance Moore. Balls. I have the 2nd highest score for the week too. Lame

[LastPlaceRocks]

We did not deserve to win this game (although the Saints deserved it a lot less). That said, I'll take it and run. Nice job Vikings!

[atticusfinch]

what a terrible fucking loss.

[domotime2]

I'm going to lose the week 100-99 because of Lance Moore. Balls. I have the 2nd highest score for the week too. Lame
as a fellow Lance Moore fantasy owner, shouldn't we really be asking ourselves...

why are we starting Lance Moore?



and VIKINGS DEFENSE LMAO!!

[patpratt]

big win. awful win.

[sundaydrivetsl]

I don't understand how shitty the Vikings can be. They spend so much money, and they are still going wind up a mediocre 9-7, or 8-8, or 7-9, or 10-6, like I have seen pretty much my entire life, with oh, oops the miraculous season where they blew it by going 15-1, and that idiot South African kicker whos name is too pathetic to mention, missed his only field goal of the year in the NFC Championship game against, Atlanta.

This franchise is a joke, and it still retains its large solid fan base, especially here in the Twin Cities. Year after year fans still deep down believe that "this year is the year". Im sorry, Brad Childress and Tavaris Jackson are not and never will be champions.

[xbrokendownx]

9-7 and 10-6 are not mediocre in the NFL

[airik625]

what a goddamn depressing night.

[sundaydrivetsl]

9-7 and 10-6 are not mediocre in the NFL

Dude, you love arguing everthing. The Vikings finish around that every year. The Vikings are mediocre. Finishing around 7-9, 9-7, 8-8, 10-6 and a few wild card spots, first round loses, and a couple embarassing NFC Championship games over 20 years = a mediocre franchise. Even with Jared Allen, AP, Mckinney, both Williams, Berrian, all big money guys- they still look pretty sad.

[xbrokendownx]

they will continue to be mediocre until they get a real QB

[sundaydrivetsl]

Yeah, I guess Childress keeps thinking that Tavaris was/will become the next Donovan like he saw as an assitant in Philly. Now they have 48 yr old Gus under center. He hasnt been too bad though better than when Jackson is in there. Im still hoping Jackson can develop, but its just not happening.
