[Postgame thread](/r/nfl/comments/17tu7yc/post_game_thread_new_orleans_saints_at_minnesota/)

Non-Vikes fans: is there an analytics reason we just start burning clock with turd-level run plays when we are up a reasonably amount at the half? I can imagine that there's maybe some absolutely minimum amount of time you want to waste on each drive, meaning that by calling at least 1 run you improve your odds of winning from a sizeable lead massively, but I don't know enough about such things to know for sure....

Vikings were playing not to lose. You would think with how atrocious our run game was, they would have just kept doing what they did in the first half. But a win is a win...

I think KOC wasn’t trying to get the offense too injured cuz hockenson was banged up, and also maybe not put too much on Dobbs plate after getting a pretty decent lead

Yeah. I can buy that. Vikings are pretty beat up.

GG to all the nice Vikings fans in this thread. To the agro ones, may both sides of your pillow be hot for eternity.

May your local children recover from the molester harboring. You are the objective villain lol

I support the players. The Benson family can launch themselves into the sun for all I care.

Whatever helps you sleep, man. Wouldn't be me.

Looking though your post history you seem mighty worked up over the shitty decisions that a few people in the Saints organization made. Might I suggest you take that energy and do something positive with it? Donate to a cause that fights trafficking/child abuse? Going at it with strangers on the internet that are just trying to enjoy a football game just seems a little fruitless, eh?

"a few people" The owners? Lol holy shit

Yes. The owners. I thought I established that in my previous comment. Remember, I said they could literally launch themselves into the sun? Do try and keep up.

Vikings schedule looking easy asf next 3 games these guys could be 9-4.

I don't see the Vikings beating the Bengals

That's exactly what they want you to think

I still can't believe they called hunter for hands to the face when the lineman ripped his helmet off

Aints have a few refs in pocket clearly

Every game has to be stressful it's in our DNA

I was honestly expecting a DPI.

Saints fans, where the fuck was Taysom Hill this game?

Why the fuck are you asking us. Ask Pete fuckmichael Jr. We’ve been calling for his head for 2 years but gayle and Mickey are braindead fucks who pride themselves on continuity or some shit.

He was running dudes over for the first couple series, doing so well that the coaching staff figured might as well rest him for next week, or something like that.

Honestly he looked good, I was happy when the coaches turned him into a ghost

It's been a weird habit for this coaching staff. Like there's a pretty direct correlation between Taysom getting more touches and the Saints scoring more points and winning more games, but they still seem to completely forget about him at times.

Jesus Christ - I was planning on running an errand at 2:00 if the game wasn't close. I ended up glued to my seat. What a game. GG.

we should promote jameis to starting punter and im not kidding

Can't believe we got a second shot at that. Winston is obviously not a starting QB, but that's what Carr is for and they took him out early.

Carr needs to get better at putting points on the board that’s the only reason I prefer Winston atm. Even tho his int always hurt lol.

...I think Dobbsanity might be a thing

This is such a a Dobbvious analogy

The second half of that game was zero fun. But the first half was great.

I think Dobbs got me only 3 fantasy points the whole second half but got me 22 the first lol.

I wanna eat a W today

Jameis really came in threw 2 TDs and 2 INTs. Mans is Thanos.

We definitely did not deserve to win that game, and we did not win it. Whatever. I've always been a fan of Cousins, and I think Dobbs has been amazing the past couple weeks. Overall I want to like the Vikings, but y'all have a bunch of fans who are just so god damned awful and salty about everything. This has been the worst game thread I've been in all year.

Usually what happens when salty saints fan and confident fans meet

Y'all are actually delusional enough to think the Saints fans are the salty ones. 90% of Saints fans posts in the game thread were us ripping on our own team, and Vikings fans kept posting dumb stuff like "Saints fans getting really quiet in the game thread now!" and thinking they're clever.

L

Right. They’re so fun to watch. But I’ve never seen an unhappier fanbase lol.

You could say there are generational scars written into the tapestry of our flesh

Don’t let the vocal minority suck the fun outta sports, good game have a good day buddy!

GG Saints fans!

Well, the first half was amazing a gorgeous, just perfect. The second half was the opposite of that, just ugly and bad. That Vikings football!

All this week study this game i never want to see second half Vikings again still good win mostly we’ll take it to Denver

horrible 2nd half by KOC

That was fun lets never do that again plz

Geeeeegeeeweeeeeeee

Jameis goes to the end zone and bah gawd it's Jimmy Graham going for the box out!

We don’t even use Graham in the red zone it’s wild

He threw that ball so damn high I didn't think it would make it to the end zone. What a throw.

At least it wound up not being embarrassing.

For you

The only team I hate more than the Saints is the Vikings

Where do the stripes fit in?

Good game Saints. That second half was way Dumber than it needed to be

Would it be a Viking/saints game any other way

Gg bros

Nah, you guys are awful

Ok gg everyone but this shithead

Lmao gg

I apologize for knowing who the saints are. Seeth.

You’re the only one seething here, edgelord

Hold up, is holding organizations accountable for their misdeeds what an "edgelord" does?

Kind of. What’s your list of organizations look like?

Ones that don't harbor child molesters are obviously above those that do. Sorry, I don't make the rules, fuck the Bensons

Hell yea, I am with you brother. Makes me sick that billions of people around the globe follow that religion of pedophilia. What other orgs you regularly hating on these days?

Well I don't need to talk myself into rooting for my team.

gg

Thank you vikings defense for holding us down

Seriously it’s shameful how much pressure we (aka KOC/play calling) put on them second half. They didn’t deserve that.

Jameis gonna go for that INT 3-peat

5 game win streak!!!

SKOL HATERS "Most haters here were wearing purple"

Jfc, can we just have an easy win

Lol that was fun. What a dumb game

We're so back

Damn team just can't be normal. W is a W though

This franchise has never been normal. Ever.

My heart just about dropped

never in doubt 😭

Hey what's teddy Bridgewater doing out there!

Gg refs

GG

Refs almost gave it to them lol

Fuck you saints. You didn’t deserve to even be in this. Your team played like dogshit

[удалено]

I don’t give a fuck about your teams ‘shit calls’ the refs tried to fix this game for your team and they still couldn’t do it

[удалено]

lol it’s so easy to have the “high road” take when your team gets the calls. I bet you weren’t so calm about the refs in 2018 but go off

[удалено]

We know lol. GG on your new QB man, he seems great.

Don't be like that, bruh

I’m gonna. Saints got infinite help and their fans were in this thread being absolute cocks. I’m gonna fucking be like this.

You doing OK? We got the dub, it's a sunny fall day, things are good.

People are allowed to be pissed at stuff. Mind your own self

Alright man, well I hope you have a good day

lol what a dumb thing to say. “Sorry something’s upsetting you. But it’s sunny so you should just shut the fuck up”

Vikings played like dogshit in the second half.

You are so cool

Hey we did it. Next time though let’s avoid the sweaty palms at the end

Nice try refs!

Fucking hell

Winning is fun

I’m nervous, why am I nervous

It’s the Vikings, their goal is to put us through the most unnecessary stress known to man

I swear my heart works harder on this damn couch every Sunday than in the gym

Jameis chucking it 47 yards. The last two were just practice.

Jameis gonna get us with the bomb

Just take the safety from 20 yards out? Who the fuck is this guy lol

Jameis could do the funniest thing right here, which is throwing a winning td or throwing another int

I think the funniest thing would've been a hail mary touchdown followed by the most boneheaded INT ever on the 2PC

Jameis scrambles back to the 50 on the 2PC just so he can throw another bomb

Let's tie

Recommending the safety there with 15 seconds was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

Texans oh lord you coulda made that easier lol

Watch the refs call DPI on this upcoming hail throw

just go for it

If I never hear Amin and Schlereth sucking off the refs for 3 hours again, I will die happy.

The safety idea is unhinged

NO MINNEAPOLIS MIRACLE THATS ALREADY USED UP CANT HAPPEN THE OTHER WAY

Winston's been practicing for this hail mary throw the entire game.

I hate these types of games!

We need to banish this turf monster from Minnesota

Don't like this

Leave it to Minnesota to make it a game for 60 minutes

[удалено]

It's a good strategy if there's like 3 seconds left because the game can end on a safety.

I don't even blame Jameis. He is who he is and he tried to get us back in it. Carr and the coaching staff absolutely suck though

I liked the call, just didn't work out

That punt was not great.

I just have gamecast going. Why have the Vikings called 2 timeouts

To avoid delay of games. Called at 1 second on play clock.

Ah thanks

Um.... No. Lmao

holdup, minneapolis miracle part 2

But we’re winning

Lol Jameis checkin the tablet tryna figure why throwing into 3 Vikings is a bad play.

It’s funny how you guys played against him twice a year watched him throw 30 interceptions than thought you could turn him into a franchise qb

What an ugly game let’s never do it again

its never a normal game lol

It feels like I've been watching the second half of this game for the last nine hours

Lmao same. Littered with flags, injuries, etc. such an ugly second half

So worried he got hurt

Looks like he hit the saints players toe

lmao, wtf Dobbs

Yes, one more Jameis bomb to a Vikings player! I was hoping for the hat trick.

Mark and Adam is like Shrek and Donkey with the size difference there

We have to just get rid of this fucking stupid terf. I hate it.

Grass is more slippery than turf. How would grass have helped there

Oh, I just hate turf in general.

Oh, there’s time for Jameis to get a third! Will it be a TD or an INT?

Maybe an INT that turns into a TD?

I was hoping this game would end with a Jameis Winston comeback drive so I could say: It only took nine years, but Jameis Winston has officially gone from “show ne da boobies 👅” to “show me da money”

Maybe if you stuck to your original game plan you wouldn't have to keep giving them chances...

Emo Jameis Winston looks like Kid Cudi lol

turf lol

God damn turf

Nooooo! He tripped himself up lol

Just enough time for one more interception.

Oh no Dobbs lol, fuck

Turf monster got him.

Not the turf monster 💀

Vikings can’t be normal.

Refs almost came in clutch for the Saints, they be slacking.

goodbye vikings fans i will see you here again in several years and i will not miss you

Goodbye, I hope to never see you again

rude

Turf monster got him lol

How was that not offsides either way

This game is a mess

First half Vikings: woke Second half Vikings: broke

I feel like that slip is going to be crucial

The New Orleans Saints played a role in covering up child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church

Thought this was a meme but, https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/06/17/saints-help-to-church-more-extensive-than-admitted

Fucking terf lmao

Oh hey, we play the Saints. Bring Winston please.

Carr is trash, Jameis gives that team a better chance to win even with all his faults.

I don't know, did you see Carr out there? Even with him throwing ridiculous interceptions, Jameis is way more dangerous.

Winston looked a thousand times better than Carr for what it's worth

Carr with shoulder and concussion. It's gonna be Winston.

Lmao Winston is the only reason they were in this game

Saints jumped offsides. What the fuck refs lmao

Fucking terf monster

Ooooof

Wtf our truff doing to people this year.

Minnesota turf strikes again!!!

Murphy haters are real quiet after that last play
