This.

Vikings were obviously the better team. Shouldn't have been so fucking anxiety-ridden.

Viking ending would have been a loss. Still winning and getting better.

Truth. That's a better statement.

A 24 point lead in the 3rd quarter. Then KOC starts channeling Mike Zimmer and gets his head completely up his ass. We're just lucky our secret weapon, Jameis Winston, got onto the field in time to bail out the old ballcoach.

He did get conservative and he admitted as much after the game. They still left 10 points on the field in the 2nd half. Vikings were the better team, even with the injuries. Good coaching.

I think this might be the cunning and deceitful football gods tempting us into making a foolish decision in the offseason.

Or did the Saints make defensive adjustments after the half that other teams can now follow?

A lot happened.
Yes, KOC got conservative but that's kinda understandable. He was playing the clock as much as the Saints.
The Saints went desperate early and had to go for it on 4th down several times and I think they converted each time.
Winston plays very aggressive YOLO ball. Sometimes it works (2 crazy TDs) and sometimes it fails (2 INTs - should have been 3).
Some questionable calls from the refs that went against the Vikings including the call against Hunter.
Greg Joseph pushes it right, of course.
O'Neill was getting trucked on the Chandler TD but then hugged the defender and it looked like O'Neill brought him down - correct call.
Dobbs trips over his own feet on a third down run - punt. . . . I could go on.

All this, and we still beat the Saints. I don't hate them as much without their asshole coach who is now in Denver, but they are still the Saints. Big home win. Look at what happened to the Ravens and Cinci yesterday. They would love to have won ugly.
