Your Favorite NFL Team......

[DaCoon]

Now that the emotional high and the booze is starting to wear down I just have to say.....

    Bret Farve for probably one of the toughest games of his career.

[cattb]

Yea he will. But the play that really killed them and blew their chance in raegulation wasnt that play, was the 12 man in the huddle penalty. Without that. That play probably never happens.
And to Favres credit. to take the pure beating he took and still be able to play the way he did. Kinda hard to knock the man for that play. I mean how much further could he have run it. It still would have ended up being a VERY long feild goal attempt as I dont think he would have been able to make the first down.

Still. way too many mistakes. particularly the fumbles.  As good as AP is, if he cant get his fumbles corrected. I say trade him.

Vikes won the game in every statistical category cept for the two that matter most. Turnovers and points

Which really is a positive testament to both teams. For the Vikes To overcome that amount of penalties and end up taking the game to overtime with the real possibility to win it in regulation.
For the Saints. To be beaten in almost every category and still come out with a win.
Two great teams played in what has to be considered a "classic" This was what Championship games are supposed to be like.

i'd have to agree except for the peterson comment

Yeah Farve could have easily stayed out of the game after that really bad hit he took to his ankle, but the guy just got it taped up and came back in.  As for the INT Dred's right, should have never of even come to that, if they wouldn't have got the 12 man penalty the next play would have definitely been a run play to set up a FG attempt.  So I think a lot of the credit goes to Farve for keeping them in the game even with all the turnovers.

I also agree, if AP can't get his fumbling troubles under control trade him, he might be a great running back, but he cost to many turnovers to make it worth having him.  You can have tons of the greatest running plays, but it only takes a couple turnovers to lose a game.

Adrian Peterson fumbling the ball multiple times contributed more to loss IMO.

WTG Saints  very entertaining game!  Bourbon street dreaming!

Agreed. Favre. Nor that interception lost that game. The fumbles and the injury to Giffen in the OT kickoff probably had far  more to do with it Actually in OT the injury to Griffen had everything to do with it. His replacement was a rookie and the Saits went right after him. as they should.
Then you could also look at the coaches for not Challenging one of the TDs by NO
Say he had run it. I think at best he gets them into something like a 56 yard FG attempt. Longwells long this season was 52

I cant in any way shape or form blame this loss on Favre, or that INT

BTW Saints..

You better win the damn SB.
It feels a hell of alot better loosing the championship game to the SB winner then it does to the SB looser.

I hope they do as well, at least for NFC sake. 
Manning better watch those films close, he probably will also experience the fiercest pass rush in his career this SB..

Manning going to eat that pass rush up. Look at what happend to the Jets. I want the saints to win but I pick Colts by 10.

[ZetaNine]

ps- I have the saints taking the nfc this year.

THANK YOU....I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK!!!!

THANK YOU....I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK!!!!

Should have put some money down on that prediction, probably had some really good odds on it back then.

[Spikes]

I don't understand why people think Manning and the Colts are perfect and the Saints aren't...now all my friends are telling me Saints don't have a chance in the superbowl vs the Colts...

Yes and the 100+ yards that the refs gave the vikes on us in penalties also did.

Edit:  Oh yeah, 1000th reply.

The Vikings were the ones who ended up taking the worse of it on penalties by the end of the game, they got that pass interference on a ball that was totally uncatchable, the 12 man huddle call, and so on so penalties hurt all the way around, not just towards the Saints.

If the Vikings didn't shoot themselves in the foot so many times this game actually wouldn't have even been close, how many times did the Vikings fumble the ball and the Saints score off it, or fumble in there own red zone as there about to score, or an INT, the Saints didn't beat the Vikings, it was the Vikings that beat the Vikings.  You can't say it's not right.

To my mind, Childress doomed 'em with his playcall on second down on that final drive. They should've passed since the box was loaded and the Saints were clearly expecting run. They needed about ten yards. As it was, the run got stuffed and then, after the idiot 12-man penalty, they were down to 3rd and 15; an obvious passing down.

Even so, they were lucky/skillful to be in it, given the turnovers.

[Getback]

If you play the odds, Colts by 4.

Unusual game, Top seeds are playing.

Also, Colts have been to the SB 4 times, all in Miami.

[Dadsguns]

Odds didnt get them where they are, they actually beat the odds against them. 

If they stack the odds against them in the SB, that will just make them play harder.
