The 2009-10 NFC Championship Game: Vikings vs. Saints

[82CardsGrad]

I hate the NFL overtime rules. I said once the Saints won the toss, the game was over.

Yup... Favre never touched the ball in OT, simply because one of his teammates called Heads... STUPID!!!!

Couple of iffy calls at the end. Didn't like the PI and I didn't think Mechem caught that ball. It was another one of whatever the call on the field was would be upheld because the replay wasn't conclusive, but looked to me like no catch.

I agree

If Favre hadn't thown the interception, they wouldn't have needed OT.

Agreed that was the biggest play of the game. Such a dumb play he could have ran for 10 and got out of bounds. I think even Kurt would have ran in that situation.

No doubt 40... Trust me, I am very happy he threw that INT!! As Doug would say, I'm "Favre'd out!".
Still, OT in the NFL sucks!

The Saints gave up 475 yards and won the game. That has to be some kind of record. If they play similar D against Indy, the game will be over by the second quarter.

That was a horrible call. Ball moving around and hit the ground/got trapped when he hit the ground.

Absolutely horrible call.

But in defense of the saints, if your opposition puts the ball on the ground 5 times and throws 2 picks, I can't have much sympathy.

True.

I hope the league comes out midweek and says "The refs screwed up that call at the end, but you still lose."

The better team lost and the Superbowl will be one sided if the Saints show up like they did on Sunday!
