Vikings vs Saints Great Game

I think if he had won the Super Bowl he would have retired as that is his goal. I think the Vikings will want him back next year.

I dunno, next year could be the Year of Tavaris...or Sage

Just for the record, the Vikes could have got the ball back had they stopped the Saints. You guys make it sound like the Saints won the coin toss & boom they called it a game & the Vikes left the field

I also agree w/ Tann, that while it was a good game, I didn't think it was great. The insane amount of fumbles was funny to me, I mean it looked like the Vikings had their gloves coated in butter the whole game

this is the fourth ever championship game to go to overtime. This is the first in which the winner of the coin toss won the game. enough said.

the vikings would be foolish not to want him back.

I still think that the Vikings would prefer to have Favre back over Tavaris and Sage . . .

Haha I think the entire world saw Tavaris standing on the sidelines after Brett got carried off and went "Congrats Saints"

all of me hopes that Favre makes whatever decision he wants as its his career. if someone is willing to have him and he's willing to play....then its a non-issue for me.

My only complaint with him playing is the way he goes about it. He jerked around Aaron Rogers and then made last second decisions with the Jets and Vikings too. I personally don't like that style. I didn't like it when Clemens pulled that stunt either, and he didn't do it nearly as much as Favre has.

I think these guys were disappointed

exactly, the play their regular ball game, 18 to in 16 regular season games, and they win the game hands down. If I am Minn I am thinking what are the odds we play that poolry again in he same situation so I would bring Favre back.

one could also say that the Packers jerked him around by drafting a player so highly while having an allpro QB.

fact of the matter is...the Pack did what they had to do and Favre did what he had to do. He shouldn't be forced to make a quick decision if he doesn't want to by the team and most certainly not by the fans. In what profession is that acceptable??? Its his career....and if he wants to decide in late August that he wants to play again in Sept., if someone wants to sign him or allow him to play than its no big deal. If that means Rodgers gets sent back to the bench, so be it. Thats the business.

Sorry, I'm a soccer football fan, so I love shootouts. :P

I'm a soccer fan, too. I hate shootouts. Any sport that has to award 3 "points" for a win needs some serious redesign.

[Clay Dreslough]

MIN was clearly moving the ball better in the 2nd half. Is it possible that this this was partly due to the fact that the Saints were going 100% for turnovers, at the expense of tackling and coverage?

I did hear in pre-game about the Saints were spending all week working on forcing fumbles. If so, then MIN didn't beat themselves as much as New Orleans took some risks that just barely paid off.

[acetoolguy]

i wouldn't call it a great game. sure it was exciting because it was close but it was sloppy. I hate sloppy football games. There were some great plays and gutsy performances...but i can't call it a great game.

Yeah...poorly played game but with great drama.

NHL shootouts are awesome. Soccer, not so much but 1000x better than the NFL.
