Saints VS. Vikings
-
Go Vikings
I can't stand the Saints fans for some reason.
-
I believe that would be GEAUX Saints!
Yes it would....I'm just not that fancy though.
-
I'm rooting for the Vikings. don't like the illegal cheapshots on Favre, and the kr. That is not football, it's
pittsburg scum cheapshotting.
GO VIKINGS !

This game is epic.

I'd be more pissed at the playcall.
Yeah, it's 3rd and 15 but just run the ball and try the FG. Unless I am totally wrong, the Vikings were close to or in FG range at the time of the INT. Terrible call.
Edit: Just saw it would have been a 51 yard field goal, but still my point is either way you'll go into OT so why not take the chance and maybe hit the FG to end it?

I dont think they made the wrong playcall. They had just lost 5 yards on that dumb penalty and the saints were stoppin their run defense. A pass was the right thing to try. But since all the guys were covered, Favre shouldve ran it since he was atleast 5 yards from the furthest saints defender. But he decided he was gonna try and make a play and ending up committing a cardinal sin in football "Never throw the ball across your body" I do think the saints got some lucky breaks, like on the pass int call, but in the end, it was Favre that literally threw away the game

I agree. I put in an edit of my original post.
True Favre threw a bad pass, I was at work so I didn't see the game in its entirety, but you can't pin it all on Favre. They had 6 fumbles that I know of, I didn't see if they had any INTs before the one Favre threw.
-
It would've been a 56 yard field goal before that play. Favre could've gained enough to have a FG try though if he had run it.
He's going to announce that he's retired...and then in 4 months we're going to hear that he's thinking about coming back and then he'll make a "comeback" in August.
-
The officiating was terrible in the 4th/OT.
I refuse to watch the Super Bowl this year, other than the halftime show.
-
I have to say...I'm watching Favre on NFL network right now and am very impressed with how he's handling the questions. No excuses being given at all. He admitted that he was late throwing the ball to Rice on the int and that he probably should've just ran it to get the yards back from the penalty.
I still hope he retires and have really grown tired of the drama and attention that he's brought to himself over the last 2 offseasons, but also very very impressed with how he played this season and how he kept getting up after getting the crap kicked out of him in this game.

Yeah and the second cardinal sin of quarterbacking is never throw the ball late over the middle. Other than that the Vikes got totally jobbed on the PI call in OT. Unless that Saints wr was one of the Na'vi from Avatar, there was no way in hell that ball was catchable, interference or not.
& Cal the only "Cheap shot" on Farve in the game IMHO was on that end around, and even then the guy hit him high, and Bret WAS standing in the way.
I just hope the Drama Queen makes up his mind soon. Certainly still has the talent to play at a very high level. But hells bells- other than SB wins, Bret's got every damn QB record worth mentioning to his name.

Another team off the list of teams having never played in a Super Bowl.

Cheap shots on Favre is accurate.
The refs must have been pissed the Squeelers were out and decided to elect a new playoff team for their 'favortism officiating'. They GAVE that game to N.O.in the 3rd and 4th - especially the 4th, even though the undisciplined Saints were penalized for near 100 yards total in 1,2 and 3 qtrs. What Super Bowl team lacks that much discipline ?
Vikings - stupid move getting a penalty for too many men in their last possession of the 2009 season. That is dumb football for a game so big. .. and what exactly was Favre thinking on a pass over the middle with 18 seconds left in the game prior to the snap ? Were they going to get back and set up for a FG after that ? Of all QB's in the NFL today (yesterday, anyway) who should've known better to chase a sideline receiver instead of the middle.
Wanted the Vikes to win, but really could'nt care less. Watching the game, the Vikes deserved the outcome. They outplayed N.O., but turnovers and stupid decisions dealt them their deserved ending.
As for the Sainst and cheap shot carp on Favre, I hope Indy kicks the living sh** out of them.
I liked Sean Peyton until last night. No discipline and cheap crap on the opponents QB. Drew Breeze is not even a close match to Peyton Manning.
