I would be bitter also had we lost the game. But I'm sick of hearing about how the Vikings gave the game away, etc. etc.

First off, the Reggie Bush TD, was in fact a TD.

Second off, things are still foggy for me because today has been so crazy, but I only recall one turnover that we didn't force and that was Adrian Peterson's fumble after the horrible Bush Muff.

You can go back and forth on this all day. People always choose to look at the injustices suffered by the losing team, or how they "gave the game away". On the second Vikings TD drive, the Saints basically gave up that touchdown with penalties which allowed the Vikings to continue driving.

You can point out things all day long, but the fact is, attacking and stripping Adrian "butterfingers" Peterson was part of our gameplan and we forced the turnovers. Doesn't he lead the league in fumbles? At least for running backs? shite, If I'm about to play a team that has a running back with the same characteristics as him, I'm sure as shite going to try to make him fumble multiple times.

And of course there's the thing about the Saints being the "25th ranked defense" which I just heard on ESPN. As far as I know, that takes into account yards given up per game. We have forced turnovers like no tomorrow. That HAS to factor in somewhere. The disrespect is awful, but bring it.

I for one am glad that we are about to face the Vikings without the beast defense, AKA the Colts.

Meh, the refs made up the late hit call for sure. Biggest crock of shite I've seen in a while. The ref with the grey buzz cut kept the vikes in the game.
