Thielen must be the best blocking WR. Every time it's been a single wide set it's been a run. He's this years Michael Jenkins.

If you told me we would be down 13-6 at halftime, I would be happy.

Yep. After the first 2 drives I was worried they would put up 70 points. But the Vikes changed something. Hope it can continue into the 2nd half.

Vikes get the ball to start the 2nd so momentum can still turn in their favor.

My excitement has been revived. Thank you, Teddy. I'll be even more pumped if the birth of his legend starts today with a comeback.

Realistically, we as fans should be patient with this one. I expect a lot of checkdowns.

Ugh. Detroit misses a field goal to end the half.
It's time to take back what was rightfully ours in '98....and '09!!

Agreed, Norv had a gameplan in place for Cassel, not Ted. We'll probably see some different stuff in the 2nd half, after adjustments, but I expect him to play it safe, considering the environment they are in.

Screw checkdowns. Check down charlie is our 3rd stringer.

Time of possession is surprisingly close 14:12 to 15:48 despite the Saints have twice as many first downs.

On offense we need to do a better job on first down. Too many 2nd and longs.

Jennings needs to get involved in the gameplan again. He was invisible last week and only one catch today. They may want to get McKinnon involved too.

Two passes thrown to McKinnon, both incomplete (not McKinnon's fault).

I dont' think they have "Emergency QB's" anymore, but I am guessing McKinnon would be it since Ponder isn't dressed.
