See a lot of melting going on right now but...

Looking the Vikings roster up and down, they look like a great team. Absolutely loaded on all levels of the defense.

Very strong wide receiver group.

Offensive line I know nothing about.

Cooks and the other stable of RB are good players.

Sam Bradford has never won spit but he is a very accurate and veteran quarterback.

Not in full blown panic mode yet I think the Vikings are a 10+ win, playoff team.

They are a good team no doubt.
Still doesn't change the fact that our O-Line is now a steaming pile of horse shite for the next month, our db's' looked like steaming horse shite, and our d-line got almost no pressure.

Normally I wouldn't care that much that we lost the opening game, but the way this one played out has me concerned.

Yes the Vikings are good. The Saints are not good. That's why the Vikings won. That's why the Saints will usually lose when they play somebody that is good.

It's simple.

The vikings were 5-0 blowing everyone out last year then the already bad o line hit a snag with injuries and it just toppled over, they lost alot of 16-13 type games and finished 8-8. They will win 10 or 11 games and be a 5 seed this year, possibly win division if they sweep GB.

Pay attention to how their offense does against the Steelers. They won't look all world like they did against the Saints.

They are a solid team with a very good defense. They beat us by a lot more than what the final score reflected. This doesn't bode well for us as we are scheduled to play a slate of potentially really good teams this year.

They're easily a playoff team. O-Line was their weakness last year & they seem to have fixed the problem. They are a very good team imo.

This is funny when you read it. Then it hits home that it's accurate and makes you cry.

If Payton decided to call some decent plays in the red zone, this is a different game. 4-5 trips in and only got 12 points is crap.

And the Saints aren't...again. That's the part that concerns me.

This is what the rational saints fans are pissed about the most. For everyone else, the sky is falling and they cannot see ANYTHING we actually accomplished in this game. While it wasn't much, marching the length of the field 5 times from inside the 25 on that jacked up defense and getting inside their 10 was definitely encouraging. Then we forgot how to score and the wheels fell off.

Saints should have been a better team. Loss will cost a playoff spot.

How much hate would there be from their fan base if we knocked them off in the championship round again?
