Under was a mistake. What happened to the Vikes defense.

Gotta look at some numbers....they gave up 4 TD passes in their last road game to Jay Cutler...$hit secondary!!

From what ive seen this season i think that the vikings will pull through and make it to the Superbowl, the showdown pits both the top two seeds in the Conference, and the NFL's two highest scoring teams during the regular season. Yet, neither bunch is above criticism: the Vikings are just 4-4 away from the Dome this year and have beat only one winning team away from Minneapolis (Green Bay in Week 8); the Saints rolled through the first three months of the season and ran their record to 13-0 before losing their final three games. However, even prior to their confounding winter close, the Saints beat non-playoff teams Washington and Atlanta by just six combined points in Weeks 13 & 14, respectively.The Purple performed beautifully last Sunday in their 34-3 stomping of the Cowboys. Many predicted the Vikings could run their home record to 9-0 on the campaign, but few, if any, suspected that the Purple would sack Tony Romo a season-high six times and hold the potent Cowboy offense to their lowest output since November of 2004. Should the Vikings be able to get to elite Saints' quarterback Drew Brees with equal fervor, the Purple will win Sunday with shirts off and beads aplomb. But a repeat of that d-line domination seems unlikely. Brees' pocket acumen is more-refined than that of Romo, and the New Orleans' frontman has suffered just 20 sacks all season. On just a lone occasion (vs. the Dolphins in Week 7) was he sacked more than four times. Brees led the league this year in both TD's (34) and passer rating (109.6). Like Dallas, the Saints' offense presents a myriad of potent options. Wideouts Marques Colston, Devery Henderson and Robert Meachem present a combined 166 catches, 20 touchdowns grabs and 2,600 aerial yards. All three sport at least 11 receptions of 20+ yards and each receiver averages a minimum of 15.3 yards per catch. The image of Brees picking apart the Vikings' 19-ranked pass defense with these dudes and tight end Jeremy Shockey can freak one's mind. Sound tackling from the Purple linebackers and d-backfield will prove key: none of these guys ranked in the NFL's top-33 in yards after catch.The New Orleans backfield finished '09 charting 6th-best in the league in rushing with over 130 yards per; however from an individual standpoint each of them would likely offer a girlish squeal standing beside Adrian Peterson. Between the four backs we'll see on Sunday -- Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, Reggie Bush and Lynell Hamilton -- they sport just two 100-yard efforts among them, and none have reached the century mark since Thomas rolled the Bills for 126 way back in Week 3. This isn't to suggest a dearth of talent at the position, but any one of these guys grinding the 2nd-ranked Viking rush defense seems highly unlikely.
