Saints Week: Passing Offense

This is not the Saints we are all used to, as their secondary, while not perfect, is a respectable group that has made plenty of plays this year. The Saints still rank 26th in stopping the pass and will have a challenge when facing the Vikings 8th ranked passing offense. In looking at the stats, [...]

Gabbing With Saints Gab

After what turned into a rather not cordial trash talking segment earlier this week, I was approached by Gilberto Torres of Saints Gab to exchange some questions for our readers. I’ve noticed that for the most part, Saints fans are far more sportsman-like than those pesky Cowgirls were, and Mr. Torres is no different.  I [...]

Adam On ESPN Radio

Today, I had the pleasure of being on Matt Mc’s Sports Fix for the 4th time this season.  His show airs on ESPN Radio’s WNER 1410 in upstate New York. Matt and I talked about the upcoming match, the injury plauged Vikings, threats that the Saints offer, and much more. Check out the pod cast [...]

Final Injury Report

Uh-Oh. The Vikings have added one more high-profile surprise to their injury reports each day of the week.  Friday was no different. Questionable for the Vikings are Pat Williams (foot), Kevin Williams (knee), Ray Edwards (knee), Benny Sapp (ankle & back), and Percy Harvin (migraines). Probable are Bernard Berrian (ankle), Steve Hutchinson (shoulder), Jimmy Kennedy [...]

Poll: 2010 Starting QB

So I wanted to post this because: a.  My post about Tarvaris Jackson seems to be somewhat of a hot topic b.  Gilberto over at Saints Gab just told me about this software to add a poll, which I didn’t know I could do c.  When someone gives me a new toy, I just can’t [...]

Report: Jackson Wants To Stay

Charley Walters is reporting that Tarvaris Jackson wants to remain a Viking. While Jackson has not heard anything from the team in regards to a new contract, he apparently would like to get one. This isn’t a surprising revelation, as Jackson is one of the 200-plus players that will become a restricted free agent this [...]

Harvin Misses Friday, Too

I will post the complete injury report once it is released, but I wanted to let you all know that Parcy Harvin is again missing practice. Harvin has now missed two days in a row, and his status for Sunday is up in the air. Yesterday, Brad Childress confirmed that Harvin was out with a [...]

Saints Week: Running Offense

We all know that the Vikings run defense is capable of making offenses become one-dimensional.  The mere presence of Adrian Peterson does the same thing to opposing defenses. The Vikings 13th ranked rushing attack will have an opportunity to be productive against the Saints 21st ranked rushing defense. Adrian Peterson’s “struggles” led to him being [...]

Open Threads Again This Week

So last week’s replacement of the live chat went okay, right? I thought the open thread thing was successful and required less attention to be paid to the computer and more attention to be paid to the game.  I think I’ll do that again this week unless too many people have large objections to it.  [...]

The Vikings Are Officially Screwed

Yup, pack the bags, put the kids in the car, and forget about the playoffs.  We’re screwed. And here is why: Thanks, Prince… Thanks. Way to jynx us with a super crappy song.  Heck, having KDWB drag out the old “We’re Goin’ to Miami” (originally by Will Smith) from the ’98 season would’ve jynxed us [...]
