***Official Game Thread*** - Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints (3 Viewers)

[Sand]

Well, that went our way.

Brees - now is your time.

 

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

CHILDRESS COSTS THIS TEAM THE GAME. SETTLING FOR A 50 YARD FG IS A JOKE!!!Good thing he got the contract extension this year.Next year they are an 8-8 team without Favre. Nice job Childress.

Childress learned bad gameday decisions from the master Andy Reid

 

[MSULions]

saints are gonna take the ball and they're gonna win!!!!!!!!

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Is this a great game or a lousy one?

 

[Popinski]

If Favre tucks and runs that's the ballgame. WOW

Not sure about that, still would have been 45+ yards. But yes, definitely makeable.

 

[parasaurolophus]

The GF called an ovetime before the game with Favre winning.

looks like she might be half right.Hopefully they rebutter the ball.

 

[Chase Stuart]

I still don't understand the mentality of playing for a 50-51 yard FG. Let's be honest, that isn't just Childress...it's the whole effing groupthink mindset of the NFL. Time and time again, you seem teams get to the 35 or 30, and they think that's enough. Like a 47 yarder with the game on the line is a sure thing.See it all the time throughout the league, and it simply does not make sense

Pass the buck, guy.

 

[Sarnoff]

Vintage Favre

In the '07 playoffs, in what was widely believed to be his last NFL game, he threw an INT as his last pass in the NFC Championship.If NO wins this on their first possession, his last pass again will be an INT, in what may end up being, for the 4th time, his last pass in the NFL.

Flashbacks of 98 coming.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Can't wait for the 9,000 articles tomorrow about how the NFL overtime system is screwed up.

 

[phthalatemagic]

Who will win the toss? Could be the play of the game

Statistically it's a 50/50 chance. I think. Let me crunch some numbers.

 

[CrossEyed]

Is this a great game or a lousy one?

Yes

 

[Ghost Rider]

Completely gutless play-calling by the Vikings there. Childress is so bad.

 

[Big Rocks]

Tails never fails

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

34 - 28 Vikings

 

[Raider Nation]

Well, no way NO covers my 4 here.

Saints are one of the few teams in the NFL who give you a shot at 6 in OT.Long pass... busted coverage... broken tackle, etc. And I'm not sure they trust Hartley. He looks scared.

 

[Power Monster]

The Saints should put Bush back there

 

[MSULions]

Wow, how does Favre not just run that?

No timeouts

they had one left because he didn't take it earlier due to the 12th man in the huddle penalty. colossally boneheaded mistake

 

[North]

Well. Look on page 1. I called that Childress's play calling would cost this team a win and what do you know, I was right. This guy is a joke!

Settling ffor a 51 yard FG, then have 12 in the huddle? Come on!

the more the better

 

[ChargersOH]

Brees has looked shaky all game.

This certainly isn't a slam dunk.

 

[phthalatemagic]

If NO wins this on their first possession, his last pass again will be an INT, in what may end up being, for the 4th time, his last pass in the NFL.

We can only hope he means it this time.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Huge return

 

[MSULions]

nice return!

 

[Chase Stuart]

Can't wait for the 9,000 articles tomorrow about how the NFL overtime system is screwed up.

I'll take the over, thanks.

 

[Sand]

Awesome runback.

Loved his punt in his first overtime possession of the 4th and 26 game too.

I know the Cowboys tend to think like that and I hate it. The first team that comes to mind that doesn't do that is the Colts. They would just rather put it in his hands and I don't blame them.

Should be 9,000 articles about Chilly's horrible play calling. What a joke!

 

[Mr.Pack]

12 men in the huddle penalty, coming out of a timeout????

Really??

 

[Power Monster]

Nice return- Cedric Griff hurt could be a big loss for Minny

 

[The Ref]

New OT Rules "First team to 6 points wins"

 

[The Kerminator]

Completely gutless play-calling by the Vikings there. Childress is so bad.

By why didn't Favre just audible? It's been known to happen.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

did Aikman just call Griffin a great DB?

 

[ArcticEdge]

D ####!!!!

 

[Power Monster]

Saints need a Colston sighting

 

[Popinski]

By the way, the Saints' punter has been huge...that kick pushed the Vikings last drive pretty far back.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

What is this playcalling?

 

[flapgreen]

2 runs. doh

 

[The Ref]

Is Brees hurt?

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Bad playcalling

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Overtime of the NFC Championship and they are running Bush up the middle?

 

[CrossEyed]

Little conservative here.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

Completely gutless play-calling by the Vikings there. Childress is so bad.

Right, why would Chilly play conservative there? It's not like AP has a fumbling problem, and Favre hasn't thrown any INTs today.Plus, he can count on Sean Payton to call an even more conservative game.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Wow, very conservative play calling with all the marbles on the line?

Are you kidding me, the Saints just don't deserve a win in this game.

 

[Willy]

Saints trying to run down the clock...

 

[North]

I've been saying it on this board all year long and I'll say it again.Childress will coach this team out of a win at some point this season. His pathetic play calling will eventually cost this team.Had to put it out there.

There I said it at kickoff.

 

[Raider Nation]

How long till FOX shows Hartley's SHANK against Tampa?

 

[kaa]

I think the Vikes would give the Colts a better game.

 

[Hastur]

Intense storms moving across my area and DirecTV acting up.
