God...NFL is a joke...Saints are cheap shot artists

[Cards_Campos]

They showed some replays where Favre was getting drilled after handoffs....I am not a fan of Favre but the Vikings are 40 times better. The saints are a joke...and they are classless.....Really....They got every call in that game...I mean ever close call went there way..

I think the NFL and the President wanted this Katrina hit city to win to restore hope...But to me the NFL is fixed.....Way to many bad calls in this game and inconsistant calls for me as a fan of niether to feel good.

With all of their turnovers the Vikes can't complain one bit. Brees got nailed too. He just didn't jump around and complain.

 

[40yearfan]

I'm not sure you watched the same game I did. I thought the Vikings were getting the calls.

 

[Red Dawn]

I'm sure the NFL would have rather seen Brent in the Super Bowl.

True...But the Interference call was terrible and the catch at the end could have easily went incomplete.

The Saints were outgained by 200 yards....AP gave the ball away....The better team lost...and I see the Colts blowing the Saints out. Their defense isnt that good....if AP doesnt fumble.....The Vikings win by 20.

The Vikings brought in Favre to get them to the Super Bowl and when it was crunch time, he choked. He threw a stupid ball instead of running to get Longwell in field goal range. Throwing across the field in that situation was just plain dumb.

And if the Saints fall on some of those fumbles it is no contest. Vikes were lucky it didn't hurt them more.

The Saints say themselves their D lives on the turnover. Have all year.

The interference call was very iffy but the catch would have been hard to overturn. There wasn't indisputable evidence that he didn't make the catch.

The Saints are alot like we were last year. Not a good defense but very opportunistic. When you turn the ball over 5 times, you have no right to complain about anything.

May be true...But Manning wont make those mistakes...and I bet Colts will win by 17+.....any takers? Saints def isnt that good overall. Heck they barely won today and prob did because Vikings guy missed the coin flip.

 

[Covert Rain]

I thought there were some bad calls both ways. However, the Vikes were lucky to still be in the game with 5 turnovers. They had their chances despite but 5 in the AFC Championship?

Saints deserved to win.

Yeah if they'd called it incomplete live it wouldn't have been overturned and if they called it complete it wasn't overturned because the replay wasn't conclusive. just from the replay I'd say incomplete but that's not how the rule works.

AGreed but man the fumbles were so bad...I mean sometimes thing just fall apart. Like us against SF...but who is better? The worse team is advancing...and I dont see the SB being close.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

I agree with 40year. The calls were definitely in Minny's favor all night. Minn was only called for about 2 penalties going into overtime. The NFL would definitely rather have Favre in the superbowl and you could tell by the ref's whistle.

Yea but the BUSH td wasnt conclusive...Yes it looked like he got it across the pylon from the front replay...But watch every other replay and the ball never gets back in front of him until he is pass THE PYLON. you will see that brought up later.

1) It's called playing hard. The Saints were aggressive and deserved to win this game. I did not think they played dirty.

2) I'll guarantee the President is more worried about healthcare, terrorism, the economy than who wins the NFCC game.

3) If the NFL was fixed and wanted to fix it so the Saints were in the Super Bowl they probably would have done so back in 2008 when the Saints played the Bears when the Saints took the NFL by storm and EVERYONE was cheering for them.

4) I can not think of a better representive for the NFC. They Saints are a class team led by one of the classiest guys in all of professional sports and deserve to be in the Super Bowl.

5) I was in New Orleans in June. It is booming again and outside of the 9th Ward you would never have guessed a hurricane of that magnitude hit the area (at least from what I saw). Point being it is a great story, but New Orleans no longer needs the Saints to restore hope to the city.

6) They have the BEST uniforms in the NFL.

7) This team has been through hell throughout their franchise history, much like the Cards. I would think we can all relate to how the Saints and their fans feel right now and will be cheering the Saints on in two Sundays.

A defense should try to hit the QB as much as possible without getting flagged. Saints did a good job of that.


The Vikings fans have to be SICK. Their best two players killed them with atrocious turnovers. The interception was especially horrendous. Hell, Pop Warner QBs know you don't throw late over the middle.

Your kidding right??? Favre was drilled 3 times after HANDOFFS...and the play he got hurt...a player came and dove at his knees while a guy hit him high. THAT is 2 ILLEGAL Plays. 1)You cant hit the QB high and low...15 yrd penalty look it up. 2)The Brady rule (actually a sub of it) says you cant dive at a QB's knees!!

Nothing was called.

Interference call in OT??? ball was 10 yards over thrown and the guy really didnt touch him.

 

[CaptTurbo]

VIKES GOT ALL THE CALLS. Glad to see em out.

They didn't get ALL the calls, but the flags were in their favor. No doubt about that.

It's annoying how the fans bitch about reffing after almost every game. Unless there is just a glaring bad call, what's the point? Every single game has missed and ticky-tack calls.

well maybe the times you were eating, using the bathroom, talking on the phone, cleaning the kitchen, playing with the Kids....they were screwed.

Saints are going to GET blown away by Manning...who wont make those mistakes. Vikings 475 yards Saints 257.....Saints are not that good. sorry

Good teams don't rely on officiating, they win in spite of it.

 

[Cards_Campos]

well my OP said the Saints are cheap shot players. We can argue who got the calls...But They showed during the game when Favre got hit and they showed 3 handoffs where Saints defenders laid him out!!!!!! Just LIKE WARNER!!!! Warner said they were cheap and I bet Favre will to later.

You cant hit a QB at the KNEES period...and they did twice!!!!!

How much A$FN do you want to put on that? The Saints are going to win the Super Bowl. The Colts have looked extremely mediocre in the past month.

 

[az jam]

Bottom line is that the Vikings blew the game. A penalty for 12 men in the huddle with 20 seconds left? Farve throwing an interception instead of running to put them back in field goal range? STUPID STUPID.

We can bet as much as you like.....The Saints havent looked any better...And the Colts just beat the 2 top ranked defenses in the NFL....Saints just gave up 475 yards and got 5 turnovers and barely won at HOME.
