YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Drafting Moss = jumping for joy!
Minnesota Miracle = unable to move due to shock!
Cousins to Rudolph in OT = jumping for joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find myself holding back waiting 5 seconds for yellow flags now that the NFL throws flags constantly.

I hear ya, but for some reason I didn't. Usual jostling including the DB grabbing a bit, but it was like a giant against a boy.

But then there was the obligatory stall.

We manned up and won this game.....no miracle, no questionable calls.......should have won before OT but we persevered and won.

The fox post game people were really caught off guard. Instead of the Brees-slobbering it was like 'what to we do now'?

A still have a VHS of Jimmy the Geek saying the Saints (or maybe the 49ers) would beat the Vikes back in 87. Vikes win then after the game Musberger says "You called it Jimmy." You see the Geek do a mini double take, but of course didn't correct Musberger.

AC was incredible....I was just in awe for both games.

Terry Bradshaw was literally laughing and clowning around discussing the Vikings chances during the pregame show

Paraphrasing: "I don't see any way they win this game"

Former refs chiming in saying it was OPI on Rudy.

It was mutual hand fighting, and Rudy won. I get the angst, but what was he supposed to do?

And to do it against Sean Payton again... **** yeah. That felt good! Lemon-puckering piece of garbage. Where are the mock claps now, Sean?

Please. If Rudy extended his arm and the guy fell backwards, maybe. But there was none of that. Sour grapes.

I'll take some of that crow, DeLain. I do believe a lot of people were surprised with the outcome of today's game. I mean outside of the local faithful, there were very few.

I hope that the players get healthy. The Niners are getting a bye week and will be rested at home. We especially need Mackenzie Alexander back.

Will there be a catchy name for this, like "the catch"?

I think what it says is that Zimmer found a way to gameplan when we were left for dead. Kudos to him. There's no telling what next game brings, but our game -planning allowed us to live another day.

Add to that the joker chiming in regarding the Conboys HC coaching position "Zimmer will be in play after today's game". That said I'm sure he was just reading these threads...

I won't lie. I live in Dallas and was simply relaying the message. Did this game keep Zim's job? Probably. You just never know. If we get blown out next week, maybe it swings the momentum back again. Much like Cousins, Zim's ability to navigate us through the playoffs is questionable. It would be great if we slowed down San Francisco's offense and put it to rest. It's a business, though. I really hope we kee ppl rolling. Forget about next season. I obviously want to win now!

The NBC analyst crew insists it was a missed PI call on Rudolph and that the league errored in not reversing the TD call.

I think today's game should give Zimmer 100% job security going into next season. They established the run and then used play action with success. The repeated unsuccessful runs to the weak side in the 4th quarter weren't too impressive but moving Griffen and Hunter around on defense completely baffled Brees and Payton. Was great to see the innovation on D and the mostly smart playcalling on O.
