Yea baby -- quality form the Vikes!!

[DJLJ]

Number 43, what were you thinking. What were you thinking.

[TheHowieLama]

Close your eyes and count to three

That has to be the worst whiffed tackle I've ever seen. He's not gonna be popular in the dressing room.

[Arno]

^{Phew! All those chockes down the years (and I've witnessed a few of them!) and then come up with that!? Man, how the hell to get some sleep now :)}

[3 Stacks]

These DB's, man, I swear. What kind of mush for brains idiot goes for a head first chop at the knees when the game is on the line? Does no defender in this league wrap up anymore? I don't even like the Saints, but my goodness. 

[Jose Jones]

I've long thought that a great many of NFL defenders just don't know how to tackle. They just launch themselves in the direction of the opposition player and hope to splat them.

[Lee909]

Feel for Williams

His earlier plays will be forgotten as will his overall play this year. I think he was wary of being hit with another PI call. Williams has not been guilty of not wrapping up this year. Think he was avoiding the flag and paniced

 

All credit to the Vikings but the refs were fucking shite earlier and had a major part in the 10-0 early score.

 

Saints offense just took too long to get rolling. Disappointing end to a good season. Just got to retool and come back stronger. Ultimately injuries have played a major part with 21 players on IR.

 

Whats disappointing os that like 2011 it feels like get past this game and they would have been very hard to stop going all the way

[TheHowieLama]

It is karma for Sean Payton who has worn out his welcome at every stop in the game.

 

Brees - like Roethlisberger and Brady may have one more run in him but I think the Saints are the least likely to make that transition and stay at the top of the game.

[Lee909]

What exactly are you going on about with Payton?

 

Payton is still one of the best offensive coaches in the game. The Saints are also one of the youngest teams in the league.

 

Outside of Brees there is not another player as a starter nearing the end of their career.

Sure feels like there will be a break up at the Patriots. Bellichick losing both his OC and DC. Makes you think they know something we don;t. Add to that the ESPN story and this could be the last year we see Brady and Bellichick together

Belichick basically does all the coaching there anyway, so I don't think it will make much difference at all if they lose their co-ordinators. Can see both Brady and Belichick retiring at the same time in 2 or 3 years.

Well. I hate the Saints as every true football fan does.

 

He has been fired at every job he has had -- including, lets not pretend cuz he was gash. when he was at my long time home team the Giants.

Sat out a year cuz of bounty, now will see his milk cow ride into the sunset. And they have no other quality outside of Brees.

And they are the Saints.

They had an awesome draft, and Kamara looks the real deal.

 

Brees doesn't seem to have lost anything in his arm, and has never really relied on athleticism, so can see him playing on for a few more years yet.

 

I think they'll compete next year for sure.

 

I also quite like the saints.

[TheHowieLama]

I also quite like the saints. 

 

 

I would neg you:

 

A: if I wasn't a cheap bastard

B: If you were not connected by kite string and a styrofoam cup to the internet

[Lee909]

The Giants would bite the Saints hands of to get Payton as headcoach.

 

He was also not fired as IC of the Cowboys either.

 

Talking shite really if you think Brees is the only talent on the roster.

[Bob]

Watching question of sport for the first time in a long time and Sam Quek clearly loves her NFL, in case you needed another reason to want to marry the little saucepot.

[Hand Shandy]

Brady cut his thumb open in practice and needed stitches. Got to be good news for the Jags.

 

I have no great love for the Jags, but I'm fucking bored of Brady and the Patriots.

 

Would like to see Minnesota win it all in their home stadium.

[Kloppite]

2 super bowl semi finals on tonight going to wa5ch the 1st which will mean there will be 2.5 hours of adverts .5 hours of chatting and 1 hour of football!

[RedKnight]

That is a very knowledgable post...

[Bob]

Predictions?

 

The Jags are going to come up short as Bortles just isn't good enough to get them over the line and Fournette isn't healthy.

 

Jags 17 NE 24

 

Really not sure for the other one but probably give Vikes the edge. Have a feeling it's gonna be a low scoring game of defense with fewest turnovers wins.

 

Min 16 Phi 14

[Hand Shandy]

Really does depend on which quarterbacks turn up.

 

If Brady isn't 100%, then the Jags have got a chance. But then, Bortles...

 

I think the Patriots by 10.

 

Foles has been not disastrous in the playoffs - can it last? Keenum has been unspectacular, but steady.

 

Vikings by 7.

[Kloppite]

I don't know the 1st thing about American Football and have decided to watch raising Arizona instead but I think the jags will win the super bowl.

[Hand Shandy]

Jaguars need to nail Brady early, even if it's late.

 

He seems very touchy about his hand.

[Hand Shandy]

And yes, I do appreciate the first sentence appear to contain a contradictory statement.

 

You know what I mean...
