The Brett Farve Experiment

Re: The Brett Farve Experiment

Refs sure didn't help in overtime.

If I didn't know any better I would venture to say Vikings fans are also fans of the NDSU Bizon squad. Just saying

Re: The Brett Farve Experiment

Yeah....very bad decision by Favre to throw the ball when he did with 11 secs to go, but man, the vikes fumbled away so many other opportunities (end of first half) it's hard to blame just Favre.

The vikes NFC championship curse continues.....

If Chilly the village idiot wouldn't have sent 12 men out for the huddle (after a time out ! ) , a run play probably would have been called instead of a pass.

Re: The Brett Farve Experiment

Or the idiot player shouldn't have gone ...

Actually, I think the Vikes fumbles cost the game - two turnovers inside the 10 yard line in a game that went to OT.

Saints were not impressive today, but they get to go to Miami.

Re: The Brett Farve Experiment

I'm not saying that the turnovers didn't hurt. They certainly did. The first Peterson fumble, the Harvin fumble, the 2nd Favre interception hurt the most. I didn't see one call for the Vikes after Favre got slammed to the ground. Three should have been a penalty called on Favre's first INT when one of the Saints players drilled Favre below the knee. The 4th and 1 call, the pass interference, and the questionable catch in overtime. Even with all those TO and Favre hurt due to multiple cheap shots, they were still in the game. This game hurt more than the '98 NFC Championship game.

Re: The Brett Farve Experiment

Well, this was the ending that we as Vikings fans have come to expect, I guess.

I predicted that the Vikes would blow out the Saints.....











Of course, I also assumed that the offense would TAKE CARE OF THE BALL!!!!

Re: The Brett Farve Experiment

I think I would have rather been blow out. To play like **** and lose in OT.. just plain SUCKS. So many blown opportunities. How about oh I don't know.. DON'T get a flipping five yard penalty taking you out of field goal position followed up by a pathetic turn the ball over and KICK THE FIELD GOAL FOR THE WIN.

I am really sick of being a Vikings Fan right now. (I am a lifelong fan btw and will get over it.. next season sometime, maybe... it might take longer than that)

For me... losing to Montana HURT honestly still twinges... this just pisses me off.

Yep, for sure. Another great example of how horrible a coach Childress is....really? 12 men in the huddle?.....with 18 seconds to go in the nfc championship game?....in a tie game...when your barely in fg range and 5 yards costs you a fg attempt?....really Childress?

But yeah, I agree, the fumbles were what cost the Vikes the game. When Favre threw the pick, they had already lost, IMO.

Re: The Brett Farve Experiment

Is it really Chilly's fault there were 12 guys in the huddle. I would assume there are other coaches on the sideline that are responsible for personnel and that Chilly wasn't the one who sent 12 out there. Just plain stupidity on someone's part.

Live in Minnesota, glad I'm not a die-hard Vikings fan. They did NOT deserve to win yesterday IMO. The Saints did everything they needed to do to win the game, the Vikings did not. Simple as that. The refs didn't cost the Vikings one thing, they cost themselves by putting the ball on the ground so many times. Was the interference call on Leber in OT a phantom call, sure. But the Vikings should have never been in that situation had they played a complete game. Where was the vaunted pass rush all game? And the Vikings pass protection, non-existent. Favre's lucky to be alive today (I'm guessing there's some cracked ribs after he got planted on that one hit).

Anyway, I hope the Super Bowl is at least an exciting game. Go....

Yup. You can't fumble six times and throw two picks and expect to win an NFC Championship game on the road.

But it was clear to me that minus the mistakes the Vikings were a far superior team. I expect Peyton Manning to expose the Saints' shaky defense and am predicting a 42-17 Super Bowl win for the Colts... unless they fumble six times.

i guess if brett cant handle all those cheap shots anymore then maybe he should retire for good. but im sure he will pull the same crap he has the last 3 yrs and leave the vikings in limbo. maybe we'll get to see another press conference of brett crying and retiring.

Apparently the Brady rule only gets called if the quarterback's name is Brady.

Re: The Brett Farve Experiment

So here is my question for Viking fans:

2010 Vikings Season, success or failure?

2010 Vikings Season, success or failure?

The words 'success' and 'failure' don't apply to the Vikings, as they are what they have always been: a device by which hundreds of thousands of people willingly torture themselves.

A brilliant video.
