WK 05 ~ vs SAINTS ~ Discussion, Pressers, News, Etc.

Excited for this game, need the offense to launch now. LFG!

Vikings at Saints Week 1971 - The first time ever that the Viking beat the Saints in New Orleans. On the scoreboard it looked easy, but the Viking QB play was worse than it has been in 2025-2026. As Bob Lee was wretched. Vikes win it 23-10 with defense and the return game pic.twitter.com/4lIpXMPri2

Vikings at Saints Week - 1975: Tarkenton, Foreman and Gilliam have big offensive days, and the Viking Defense held New Orleans to 60 total yards, and the overrated Archie Manning to negative 7 yards passing (8 sacks for 69 yards in losses in the easy 20-7 win, taking MIN to 9-0. pic.twitter.com/ZbAKezIV6L

Vikings at Saints Week 1976 - Opening day blowout by the Vikings. The Super Bowl bound Vikings dominated on the ground (173 yd rushing) and the air (Foreman and Sammy White), while the defense held New Orleans to 123 yards of offense in the 40-9 bombing. pic.twitter.com/DZjsJOeBON

We need to see more of this, this week.

This was a heck of a throw from Kyler yesterday. I want to see him get more comfortable and use his legs more.

I really like these old game highlights. It gets you even more amped up for the upcoming game. This will be a tough one with half the O line missing.

This is going to be a good one! Is it okay to like Ben Johnson?

He's not taking the bait because he knows his team sucks:

It's Bears-Packers week. On Monday, Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur explained his reason for not taking the bait from Ben Johnson. https://t.co/h1fohRRbzN

Payton is a very good HC, although I hate his guts, but at some point Nix is going to have to throw downfield more:

They've lost both home games. (Raiders week 3 & Falcons week 4) Let's keep that streak going for them!

Why #Saints HC Kellen Moore was risking their top players in a game lost at 45-17 with 2:00 remaining will for sure be a question he is asked tonight, and this week more. Could be very costly before a home game for them against the #Vikings #SKOLhttps://t.co/EkA40328Rf

This Saints defense is baaaad. Next week sets up as a great chance for the Vikings’ offense to break out of its slump.

(Of course, that was also the case this week)

Bears (3-1) @ Packers (2-2) Another Divisional loss guaranteed.

Lions (2-2) @ Cardinals (1-3) Most likely a Lions win.

Let's give ol' Drew a night that he drinks to forget...!

Vikings at Saints Week - 1980: Video is a little soft. MIN jumps to a big 23-0 lead-hangs on to hold off a late charge by the Saints. Manning had 3 TDs-still threw 2 costly picks. Ted Brown has 95 rush yds in the 23-20 Viking win that kept them in the playoff race (they got in) pic.twitter.com/iXI78KNZsl
