It's the morning after and I still don't think its fully sunk in yet. Wow what a game! I had about 8 heart attacks and was working on a nervous breakdown by the time she was all over. That Minny game reminds me alot of when the two played last year on MNF, when the Saints kept moving the ball but then repeatedly coughed it up and handed it back to Minny with mistakes, and ultimately lost on a last-second field goal. Those are tough to swallow, I feel for ya Pagal.
Although the Vikes had some horrible breaks with all the fumbling, I still think the Saints D deserves some cred there. After the game Vilma said they knew Minny puts the ball on the ground alot, and the Saints D was looking to exploit it. I know a couple were just gaffes on handoffs, but I also saw some beautiful punches and strips of the ball by Saints defenders to free it up. I noticed on almost every tackle they were aggressively trying to rip it out. The Saints D led the league in turnovers this year, they've been a big-play D all year. This is what they do.
I still can't believe the Saints are in the Super Bowl, I quite literally thought I'd never see the day. WHO DAT?!!
