So what did Minny do to completely shut down the passing attack?

Disclaimer, I still think it's good when they show they can win games like this. Defense stepped up after a really rough start. Good team win.
But Drew couldn't get anything going with our receivers and TE's. Thomas had 81 yards but 44 of that was on a catch that really wasn't. Smith with 3 catches and only 18 yards. Zilch to our TE's. Everything seemed to go to the safety valve. How did Minnesota shut us down like that? They're a mid tier defense, passing ranked at 21. Was really weird to see last night.
They'll snap back in the dome against the Rams, I feel certain.

they gave the underneath and brees took it. their best db was out so they were conservative.

They mentioned it on the broadcast that they were basically playing the “umbrella” coverage they used in week 1 last year to take away anything deep and keep receivers in front of them. They dared the Saints to beat them with short-intermediate throws and runs. So they did.
Not a bad plan either. Take away the turnovers and it’s a different game. But they probably didn’t gameplan a red zone fumble and pick 6 lol

They hoped drew couldn't complete an insane percentage to keep the chains moving, they were wrong

It was the game plan.
There was an info graphic that showed 0 attempts for passes +20yds and like 3 for +10yds.

They turned the ball over (fumble, downs) and gave us short fields.

They played saints' brand prevent defense

I think Vikings had a good game plan on D and honestly, as far as pass protection, I think our Oline struggled more than normal, at least as far as giving up hurries. We stuck with the run well and I think PJ interception for TD kept us going conservative in the 2nd half to keep us mistake free. Plus playing on the road in a loud environment we just overall played conservative aside from the Hill pass early in the game.

Playing with the lead the entire 2nd half is going to limit passing yards. They took what the defense gave them and possessed the ball especially well in the 2nd half.

Put Ted Ginn on IR???
Posted on 10/29/18 at 8:27 am to sicboy
I believe not having Ginn also contributed to taking the underneath gimme's.
Love him or hate him, the dude can stretch the field quickly, even if only used as a decoy to draw safety help.

Their secondary commited to not letting anyone get deep.
Their pass rush was good and didn’t allow deep plays to develop.
Brees took what was given and had a lot of short dump offs.
Our running game was working quite nicely.

The saints played how they will to win against good competition. That is the blueprint for winning a championship. Brees doesn’t have to throw it 50 times a game to win.

They put trust in their DL to stop the run and went all out on pass defense. We were able to gash them from time to time because of it, though. It's why this offense is so good this year, they can run and pass.
Having our entire OL right now especially against the Minny front 4 was huge.

Harrison Smith is best safety in league baw.

I wonder why
Can't see covers on tv but the announcers did mention minny playing back and trying to force everything in front.

They got a few stops but I never felt like we couldn’t move the ball on them. We also kept Watson and Hill in a lot to help block.
I also feel like we got conservative after Payton watched Minnesota march up and down the field on our D so he went to a more ball control style of offense instead of trying to sling it like we did against New York and Washington and Atlanta.
Having said that, I think we need Ginn back or we need to trade for another weapon. Kamara and Thomas are great but we need a realiable 3rd option we can turn to when teams take those two away
