Re: Saints @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 1

I don't think the Lions game meant that much. I don't think AZ is very good this year. Chicago looks good though. If the Vikings run D hasn't improved much, beating the Bears will be tough. I can't believe GB hasn't addressed the RB this year. One note on tonight's game. I hope the Vikings D don't ...

Re: Enemy Fan Forums Week 1 New Orleans Saints

It's because how good their defense looked during the preseason. Same reason the pessimism of the Vikings offense. I guess this game should prove if the preseason matters. Yes, that is part of it, but then there is the eye test. If you watch every snap of a team there are things you can easily see....

Re: Win against the Saints is a must because.......

The Saints defense was terrible last year and a big reason why the team was not that good. I totally could be wrong but I have reason to believe they're defense will be much better (still bottom half of the league but still significantly improved from near last). It's rare you don't see most of the...

I have no doubt about the quality of the Viking defense. We'll see how it handles one of the league's best offenses. It will be an entertaining match-up.

Re: Enemy Fan Forums Week 1 New Orleans Saints

And you know this how? By tackling some 3rd stringers in pre season? The proof is in the pudding and until the Aints defense proves something they are still bottom of the pack IMO. Maybe Manti Te'os imaginary girlfriend will come on the field and make a interception for you. You'll find out soon en...

Re: Week 1 Predictions: Saints @ Vikings

59 yr old lifelong Vikings fan here: For the last month I've been very wary of this game. The pre-season only made my nervousness grow worse. I wish I could say I believe the Vikes prevail tonight, but my gut tells me otherwise. I see the Vikes struggling to get more than 20 points and that won't c...

Re: Week 1 Predictions: Saints @ Vikings

I'll make it simple... The Vikes defense will feel and smell similar to the beginning of last season and hold the Saints and AP to a few big plays, but nothing menacing produced by the black and gold. The Vikes offense will get into the 20s, and with luck, the Red Zone won't be an issue. Vikes--24 ...

Re: Saints @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 1

Hello, all! It has been a while since I checked in, but it has been a long time since we faced each other. If y'all have any questions about the Saints I'll be happy to answer them. Personally, I am very excited to finally see all of the positive defensive changes in a regular season game. It looked...

Not elite, but clearly VERY much improved.

The offensive line for the Saints is one of the best in the league and Brees is one of the least hit QB's. :wink:

Re: Enemy Fan Forums Week 1 New Orleans Saints

I find the confidence they have in their bottom 3 defense hilarious. All of a sudden their D is laced with superstars and nobody will be able to move the ball on them. Vikings 34 Aints 17 Last year's defense was bottom three. A factor in that was losing SIX cornerbacks to IR including the top five....
