Well firstly happy the Colt have made the SB, couldnt stand all the people who used to stupidly call Manning a choker before, great win for them after a bad start.
But the Vikings/Saints ! God i'm tired today, went to bed about 3.30am
I was torn here, i of course wanted Minnesota to lose due to a certain Vikes fan
, on the other hand i'm a huge Brett Favre fan so i wanted him to do well. The game reminded me of Montana against the Oilers in the playoffs years ago when he played for KC, got knocked about a ton but won the game.
Favre took a helluva pounding, great defensive scheme by the Saints, the Vikes o-line was terrible. Near the end i thought please win it, but then i couldnt believe he threw that int.
BUT i do hope people look at the big picture, Peterson had 3 fumbles and of course Berriman fumbles a huge one away, same with Harvin.
But Brad Childress went all 'Jon Gruden' conservative.
1st and 10 on the Saints 35 yard line, big 52 yard FG to win it, 1st down a run up the middle for nothing, 2nd down the same.
THEN on 3rd down after a timeout how the hell did they have 12 men in the huddle ! Favre tried to call a timeout so they wouldnt get a penalty. This was HUGE as you know on 3rd down they would have probably run it up the gut for not much.
So instead its now a long 3rd down and out of FG range and of course Favre could have picked up 8 or so but instead he throws that terrible pick.
I do hope everyone wont be solely blaming Favre for that loss (Seen on nfluk some people are), the o-line played badly, Peterson with his fumbles was ridiculous. What was it, 5 fumbles in all ? But that 5 yard penalty on their final drive plus the conservative play calling right at the end was terrible. Gutted for Favre
