***Official Game Thread*** - Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints (2 Viewers)

[ChargersOH]

It was called because he lifted him and drove him into the ground. Good call, IMO.

It's called a tackle.He didn't try to hurt him, hit him low, he threw and was tackled at the same time.

Maybe they should put flags on Favre.

Funny you mention hitting him lowBrady gets 15 out of that hit

Easily should've been a penalty. If it was Manning or Brady getting hit the flag is thrown 10 out of 10 times. If I'm Jared Allen I make sure Brees doesn't finish the game here.

Watching that play again I think the Zebra's didn't see the low hit, which is why it didn't get the flag. If only Favre were Brady and had the Ref give me flag button.

Lost in all this Favre talk is the fact Saints cannot convert a 3rd down. Stuffed on 2 3rd and shorts, now they go to pass and Bush has a drop and Brees misses wide open WR. Saints really keeping Vike sin this.

 

[Popinski]

Favre looked bad on that handoff.

 

[MSULions]

I feel bad for Farve but if he's back next series I'm calling

exactly...the "Legend" = DRAMA QUEEN

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Favre certainly is a tough guy. Plays with a ton of heart. This is the best of Favre rather than the media seeking garbage we see outside of the game. Glad he's coming back in. I can't imagine hime coming back next season win or lose tonight.

Farve loves this, believe me. The guy is a warrior but this is who he is, this game will make him want to come back even more next year, are you kidding me.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

What is the ball coated with?

 

[MSULions]

WOO HOO!!!! GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bakes]

What the hell is going on with the Vikings hands?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Big Rocks]

Fumbling is contagious

 

[CrossEyed]

It's like the flu.

 

[Gachi]

 

[Sand]

Saints finally get one of the 18 fumbles that Minny has laid down!

 

[Your Mom]

This is ridiculous. Hold on to the ball.

 

[Popinski]

It's contagious.

 

[HellToupee]

is the football greased for the Vikes?

 

[ATC1]

Fall on the ball!!!! Not the fat man, good job.

 

[Otis]

Lost in all of this Favre talk is that Drew Brees has not played that well; he has missed several open receivers. Favre has outplayed him by a mile, despite having the crap knocked out of him. Hope Favre makes it back out there.

Don't disagree. Saints aren't cashing in on enough opport....[saints recover fumble]

 

[parasaurolophus]

what the holy hell is going on?

 

[raidergil]

Fattest guy on Saints D scoops it cleanly?????

 

[McJose]

I feel bad for Farve but if he's back next series I'm calling

exactly...the "Legend" = DRAMA QUEEN

 

[GroveDiesel]

Geez, these fumbles are unreal. And the Saints almost didn't recover that one either. Amazingly, Favre almost managed to get to that ball!

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

He switched arms to try and protect it and still fumbled.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

[switch]

Not like this . . .

[/switch]

 

[Ghost Rider]

Favre is gimpy, yet still went after that fumble. If you are a fan of the sport, you have to love that.

 

[Capella]

exactly...the "Legend" = DRAMA QUEEN

Man, some of you guys are really, really bitter.

 

[analog_hiss]

And the Vikings choke, again.

Soooooo predictable.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

Favre can barely walk out there.....would be nice to see AP and Harvin step up and stop fumbling. WTF?

 

[huskers15]

[switch]Not like this . . . [/switch]

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

That's 5 fumbles and 1 INT for Minny and it's tied 21 to 21.

Indy will not fumble like that......if NO gets into the SB, Indy will beat them by 10 minimum.

 

[NoFBinLA]

He switched arms to try and protect it and still fumbled.

He should talk to Shonn Greene - dude fixed his fumble problem big time this year. Protects the ball very well now.Love AP but that fumbling is BRUTAL

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Balls used today seem way too slick. NFL needs to explore this before the super bowl.

 

[Raider Nation]

Chilly is going to have Longwell at RB next series.

 

[nxmehta]

Saints should be up by like 30 with the number of balls hitting the ground.

 

[CrossEyed]

Gotta challenge that.

 

[ATC1]

TD!!!!

 

[Sand]

That's in! Challenge!

 

[Limp Ditka]

That's 6

 

[MSULions]

that's a touchdown. how in god's name does the ref standing RIGHT THERE miss that?

 

[bakes]

That was in.

 

[Mr.Pack]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Popinski]

That's a TD.

 

[Otis]

TD for sure.

 

[JZilla]

Favre can barely walk out there.....would be nice to see AP and Harvin step up and stop fumbling. WTF?

Favre is fine

I don't know. Did you see his wife's reaction? At some point she's going to win that battle.

 

[Otis]

that's a touchdown. how in god's name does the ref standing RIGHT THERE miss that?

That's an auto-TD if he were wearing a purple jersey.

 

[The Ref]

OH MY GOD THE REFS ARE SCREWING THE SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a TD.

 

[HellToupee]

some shaky refereeing going on

 

[WookieBooger]

That is a touchdown, mon frere!

 

[CrossEyed]

that's a touchdown. how in god's name does the ref standing RIGHT THERE miss that?

They're trying to fix the game for Fav....oh wait.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

Favre is fine

Favre can't move. He's not fine. And I'm not even rooting for the Vikings. (Packer fan - I'd love to see Favre lose)
