Cousins will put up huge numbers in New Orleans

We'll see....

Zimm, Edwards and the players may surprise. I'm starting to get a feeling they might. Nobody gives em a chance.

That said, I fear we're down 17/0 quickly and that would change everything. 

I could see it happening.

No one would be upset if they lose this week.
They could win.

Then not even show up against 9rs, after everyone gets exited again!!

We match up really well against their defense. They struggle big against wide zone teams and that's what we are. Unfortunately, our defense, banged up as it is, is going to struggle big against their offense. It's going to be a shootout.

Lets hope not. In 2 seasons Kirk has not been able to outscore/win against a team that scored 31 or more points.

People need to be more concerned about the defense. 5 yards up the middle on first down over and over will result in too many 3rd and short situations. Vikings live on third and long and die on third and short.
Brees mostly dinks and dunks and the Vikings let receivers catch the ball in front of them and try to make the tackle.
That crap won't work against the Saints.
Cousins and the offensive line could be the problem, but it's more likely going to be the defense; or all of the above.
Green Bay isn't as good as the Saints. The Vikings are going to need a little luck and perhaps another miracle.
It would feel a superbowl win to beat the Saints on the last play of the game again.
That's what I want to see.

Dude, that's a bizarre-o-world stat! I'd love to know how many Hall of Fame QBs in NFL history have a winning record when the opponent has scored more than 31 points.

I'm so glad we chose pure talent over team chemistry. That last picture is worth a thousand words in summing up what was working. How's that pure talent thingy working now? Kirk will piss down his leg Sunday. I wish I was wrong but can't see this ending any other way.

Brady was 0-0 2019 2-1 in such games in 2018 1-0 in 2017 Just for starters

Go on...

just saying I'm betting that if you took every QB in the hall of fame and calculated their record in games where the opponent scored more than 31 points, I'd be shocked if their record was over .300

This is the coldest pic in the nfl...

Why show me this, pf?  Oh the pain this brought to me; I was in total disbelief. 

The Diggs play was a walkoff.  That had to sting even worse.  B)

He probably will put up big numbers... in garbage time after the Saints take a 30 point lead.   Once the pressure to win is off Kirk does fine.   His balls drop back out of their protective inner shielded nut pocket and his brain turns back on from sleep mode.

If Kirk wasn't guaranteed 29 mill this year and 31 next. He would have been on the bench after week 4 of 2019.

For Sean Fucking Mannion? You lose credibility when you say stuff like this.
