Jeff Matthews Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 There were 10 seconds on the clock and no time-outs. Only a quick, long pass to the sideline or a penalty could set the Vikings up for a field goal. Look at 52 seconds in the video, and you can see the Saints' safety flinch out of the way to avoid contact with the Vikings' receiver. Otherwise, it could have been pass interference, which would put the Vikings in field goal range and stop the clock. So, he falls to the ground, and there's nobody left between the receiver and the end-zone. If you notice, the Saints' safety totally played the wrong side of the receiver. He should have played the inside since he was coming up from behind. He blew it. Also, the Saints didn't need 4 people on the line to pressure Keenum. They could have put 2 on the line and let everyone else cover the pass. The Vikings needed something like 20 yards, and that's a long way down the sidelines. The middle wouldn't have gotten it. The clock would have run out. Bad defensive call and bad defense by the safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always said, even a mediocre QB would excel if given the time Marcia Brady has to throw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my favorite quote when Belicheck was coach of the Browns was "Belichoke" after he traded Kosar to Dallas who then won the Super Bowl.

If Gronk is done for the day, winning will be much tougher I suspect. Hard to be against Pats though for sure. I'm tired of Brady, go Jags.
