Farve u fucking idiot!

Well its on him, Peterson, Harvin and Berrian as well. Combined 6 fumbles and 2 picks.

true but that was already done and the game still tied at 28-28, he had the game in his hands at that point and made a bonehead decision/play. lordy

huge INT

Farve should have stayed retired,fuckin choke

damn (

he did fuck it up lol

So fucking close.. But to many fuck-ups...

All I could say when he did it was....'owtch'.

Best season of his career in a long time though. Too bad it again ends on a super low note, but if he decides to come out of "retirement" again for next year he can always try again. Vikings as a whole should be good for one more winning season like this one, maybe two or three if they can find a decent replacement QB for when old Brett finally does actually call it quits.

Whatever, on to the superbowl. Saints-Colts, should be a hell of a game.

the refs did everything they could to get farve in the super bowl. sometimes the fix is not good enough.

way to go farve... history repeats itself

sucks for him

[QUOTE=unleashxxx;16779667it's all on him if they loose in OT[/QUOTE]

His teammates fumbled 6 times and 3 of them were lost. I don't like Favre but I have a hard time pinning this on him? Wouldn't it have been a long field goal? And wasn't Peterson supposed to be the most bad ass running back in the league by a wide margin?


The Saints played with so little discipline they almost determined the game by penalties. It isn't fun to watch but you can't blame the refs,l they didn't have a choice.

My honest to g-d first impression of the last Vikings play in regular time was "Oh jesus Favre please don't throw an interception across the middle when you have 10 more yards you can run."

you apperarantly didn't watch OT.

Really? What were the fixes during OT? Lots of reviews but were any of them questionable?

Seriously you have to ask that?

No. I didn't have to ask that. I know what happened. Maybe your lying eyes deceived you. Do you need the name of a good optometrist?

Poor guy so close. lol

Well let's see a pass interference call that was actually PI. And a 1st down rewarded on 4th and 1 that WASN'T a 1st down. Maybe it's YOU that needs the eye doctor. Now fuck off and do a search, everyone is talking about it. EDUCATE yourself.

its sucks for the favre and viking fans, but its not a shocker...

favre always fucked up a game with his across the body mid field intereceptions (packer days)...

You can blame it on many, so why not the coach? Maybe they shouldve ran it with peterson and tried the long field goal...

bleh

Probably was a coach blunder,keep it on the ground and attempt a long field goal,what if's

The fumbling was epic in this game...good lord. I was working on comp with it on in background and every time I look up or listen in, they fucking fumbled the ball! Just crazy.

Good ol buttahfingers.

People keep saying fumbles like it was all on the Vikings, and that's how they gave the Saints the game. What most of you're forgetting is that's what the Saints are great at, take-aways! Most of the fumbles were forced by the Saints defense.

As for the pass interference call in OT, I agree that it was an absolute bullshit call. It pissed me off that they would make a call like that in OT during a national championship game.

As for Farve's interception pass, WOW, he is going to live with that for a long time. I hope he doesn't retire, here are some interesting stats..

His last play as a packer resulted in an interception
His last play as a jet resulted in an interception
His last play as a viking this year resulted in an interception

As a long time Vikings fan, this was very heart breaking. Same damn car crash, different day.


You fucking turd, did you even watch the game? So many poor calls the last few minutes, I don't even know where to begin.

First down via forward progress on a bobbled ball? uhhh
PI on an OBVIOUS uncatchable ball. I don't exactly remember how bad it was, but didn't it damn near sail out of bounds?!?! Unreal call.
The 4th down conversion that when watching the replay, no way in hell made it across the line after hitting (Greenways?) helmet.
The "Brady rule" hit AND late hit on Favre. I don't like the rule as much as the next guy, but if its going to be a rule then call it.

Yeah, there may have been a few so-so calls that went the Vikings way earlier, but no way even close to game changing as others.

Now I am not pointing blame on the loss because of the refs, we quite obviously blew that game ourselves with an embarrassing amount of elementary turnovers. Just had to reply after reading joshgirls retarded statement. Next time make sure your TV is turned on before you comment.

favre is an idiot. plays great or sucks like today. easy decision to save the victory but risked it with a INT. retire and go away

thats hot

You guys are retards, saints have never won anything ever, always the drunken blooper team.... and you're talkin about favre.. fuck him.... new orleans has the best fans ever cause the saints is all they have (they got the hornets a few years ago but who the hell are they) This is their year .. I dont remember the overtime call but the saints had some shitty ass calls go against them in the game get over it. Party going on right now in the NO the best party city in the US

The Vikings vs the Colts would have been a much better Superbowl.

Damn damn daaaaaaaaaamn!!

Geaux Saints, fuck Brett Favre.

We stomped his dream of being the opldest player in SUperbowl last night.

NOLA IS STILL PARTYING, we been partying since FRIDAY!!!

Seems he always plays better when he playing against the Packers. LOL.

Oldest QB not player. Indy has a kicker thats older than Farve, though the question could be raised whether or not kickers are players..

That's the way I saw it too.

I didn't have a favorite in the game as my team was already out of the playoffs so I could sit back and watch the game objectively.

One thing that struck me was how difficult it is today to make the correct call even with all the camera angles and slow mo replays. There still is the referee's discretion and those decisions were game changing last night.

I also don't like the OT rule where the winner of the coin toss gets choice of possession. It's a HUGE advantage and I don't think it should be decided on a coin toss. Not sure how it can be changed though.

I really wish Favre would have put his head down and ran as far as he could giving his team a chance at the winning FG but it didn't happen. It was BIG mistake but I can't blame him for losing the game when he also put the team in that position to win. He got hit HARD 15 or more times and still stood in the pocket and threw some really good passes. He more than any other Viking put them in the position to win and two mental mistakes ( 12 man huddle penalty and Farves ) kept them from getting there.

It's a team sport so you can't pin it all on one player. I don't think the Saint's FG kicker won the game as much as the Saint's defense did by sending it into OT.

If the Vikings had won today this Superbowl would have been looked at down the road as a passing of the torch.

Favre, holding almost all the passing records would be playing against Manning, who is going to eventually break all of them... The refs royally screwed what could have been an epic Superbowl

Aye, I meant QB. My bad.

You can't say that, the Saints could have won regardless of those few calls that went their way. Favre's decision to throw a horrible pass when he was already running into field goal position with a timeout left in the 4th is what cost them the game.

I'm sorry, but this is Favre's legacy. He's a GREAT QB, but he has trouble playing under pressure. In his 19 year year career he only has ONE SB ring. What's also funny is how he lost a national championship game exactly the same way before.

so is he retiring again?

Personally I hope he plays one more season just to piss off and further torment all his haters.

favre is a football legend.

i couldn't imagine what it's like to have to walk up to the scrimmage line, analyze the defense, make changes and throw a picture perfect pass all while 1500 pounds of pissed off is coming at you to knock your dick in the dirt- AGAIN.. & 80,000 fans are screaming at the top of their lungs.

no, farve isn't an idiot.

do idiots accomplish this much-

Favre is the only quarterback to have led a team to victory over all thirty-two teams in the league since the NFL first expanded to 32 franchises in 2002.[51][116]

Favre is one of four quarterbacks to lead the league in touchdown passes four times. The others are Johnny Unitas, Len Dawson and Steve Young.[117] In addition, Favre owns a number of team records, having printed his name into almost every passing category in the annals of Green Bay Packers history. Most recently, he set the team record for consecutive completions with 20 on November 22, 2007, against the Detroit Lions.[118]
Consecutive starts streak

Since first being named the starter of the Green Bay Packers before playing the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 27, 1992, Brett Favre has never missed a game.[119] He is currently in first place for the most consecutive starts by a quarterback in the NFL and one of only five quarterbacks to have started over 100 consecutive games in NFL history. He failed to finish a game due to injury on only six occasions since taking control of the Packers as quarterback.[120] Besides Favre, there is only one other active streak of 100 or more games among quarterbacks, that of Peyton Manning. Since the beginning of Favre's consecutive start streak, 212 other quarterbacks have started in the NFL,[121][122] 12 of them being back-ups to Favre at one point.[119] Among his former backups are: Don Majkowski, Ty Detmer, Kurt Warner, Mark Brunell, Steve Bono, Doug Pederson, Matt Hasselbeck, Danny Wuerffel, Aaron Brooks, J.T. O'Sullivan, and current Packers starter Aaron Rodgers. Two veteran backups to Favre never started another NFL game: Jim McMahon, and T.J. Rubley. The consecutive starts streak is widely considered one of the most notable streaks in sports, so much so that the Pro Football Hall of Fame has as an exhibit displaying the jersey Favre wore during his record breaking 117th consecutive start as a quarterback, and a section of their website devoted to what the Hall of Fame calls an "Iron Man".[123]

In 2009, Favre surpassed Jim Marshall for starts at any position with his record-breaking 271st start as a quarterback as the Vikings played the Lions.[124][125][126]

wah wah Saints won! quit crying.

We shouldn't have won that game. If the Vikes would have taken better care of the ball they would have won no doubt as they dominated all the other stats except for turnovers and points.

You live and die by the arm of Brett Farve.


Don't know if anyone else noticed but the refs made a BUNCH of bullshit calls against the Saints. Can't wait to go watch the game on TV to see if it looked as bad there as it did from the stands.

You forgot 1 stat: 3


3 times Farve has ended (and lost) a playoff game by throwing an INT. Last night was the 3rd time that has happened in his career.

Just wanted to make sure you didn't leave that one out.

that's not an official "statistic" but i am aware. he holds the record for most interceptions as well, it's in there, so don't forget that one yourself.

regardless, favre is a football legend who holds every significant qb record in the nfl.

idiot? hardly.

The vikings had WAY more BS calls go thier way. That one time Farve was almost sacked and tackled and they called a personal foul for what? If you talk bad about Farve they would threw a flag for a personal foul. Another time Farve threw the ball at the feet of a line men with no receiver around, looked like it may have hit the linemen. No illegal touching, no intentional grounding called. We might have got the benefit of the doubt the last couple plays but the entire game they were calling BS penalties against the Saints or doing no calls against the Vikings.

I don't think he is an idiot. He is a top 3 QB of all time. I am glad we roughed him up a little

a little? hahahah, y'all beat the fuck outta that guy!


it was relentless.
