Don't know if I should bet on the Vikings there 1.5 point underdogs right now. So far I'm gonna be 2/3 this morning. If the redskins hold on I'll be 3/3 freaking Peterson still biting me in the ass with his fumbling.

No Rhodes. Going to be tough to stop their offense.

I think Hill is going to be much more competent than expected.

Our team simply can't turn the ball over. It's just been free points for the other team any time it's happened this year. Buffalo and now NO have killed us off of turnovers.

The Vikes are almost as pathetic as the Wolves. Yikes.

Lose by 10. Gave up 14 points off turnovers. That's the game right there. It's tough playing mistake free football, but that's the only way to beat good teams.

Lots to be pissed about in this game but...honestly a couple turnovers don't happen and we either win this game or the Saints have to actually score quite a few more points on offense (they probably would have scored more) to win the game. And that was playing with some key players out of the lineup. For me this was basically a 50/50 game and it seemed like we were up to the task enough except some turnovers. I don't want to make it sound too cheery but starting an undrafted Rookie FA and he doesn't get torched going against Brees? Not bad.

Also no sacks but we got to him twice 1 resulted in a pick and another one resulted in basically a sack from the intentional grounding penalty.

Cousins took a couple dumb sacks that one where he took one and it was initially ruled a fumble...just throw the damn ball away. That one play where Elf got thrown back like a rag doll...wasn't great.

I only watched the first half. I knew we lost when Thielen fumbled in the red zone and they took it back and eventually scored to end the half. That was such a massive momentum killer. It really pours some cold water on Thielen's otherwise stellar year.

That was crazy. I have been wondering where the hell Richardson is in this type of game. I was expecting him to d that type of thing to other teams.

It is a game we can win. Sadly we are looking like a team that will be on the road in the playoffs. I hope we start to get healthy.
