THAT FINAL PASS INTERFERENCE PLAY

NFL Network keeps playing it over and over. That call was the game. And it was a terrible call.

The receiver did a Vlade Divak Flop. Forget about the ball being uncatchable..........Lieber didn't touch the guy.

Horrible; the referee should have earned a nice scolding next week. You cant' make that call in OT.

I agree, it was a bad call. But considering the disparity in the penalties, its hard to work up much outrage.

I've always felt OT was the spot where you only call the blatantly obvious calls.

I hate when people say that. A penalty is a penalty. Refs miss enough things with one set of rules let alone two. Players jobs are already hard enough too without having to adjust to different set of rules.

THERE"S THE BERT WE ALL KNOW!!!!!
FUCK THAT PIECE OF SHIT...OH YEAH!!!

Fuck you you worthless POS he was cut at the knees, no othe QB in the game could get up after any of this.

Worthless POS...OK. I can see where you might want to say that. I've done more for you than you''ll ever know, ASSHAT.

Was commenting on the pick, not the injury, for what it's worth, but... any time, anywhere. I'm game...let me know where and I'll be there. LOVE TO MEET YOU FACE TO FACE!!

Appreciate what you have done for the country,but don't try and pull the hard ass act on me it doesn't work.

not a hard ass act. But the POS comment came from left field. don't want your accolades, but call me POS and i want to hurt you, that's not an act. If that makes me a POS, well then so be it. Chances are, you and i would enjoy a cold frosty together sometime, but I wouldn't front with the POS without knowing you, so therefore, I don't appreciate it.

Fair enough,and I snapped without thinking,that happens sometimes when I have had a few or 10.

How about the 15 yarder after the Vikings muffed fair catch call? How about the 15 yard Roughing the QB for no reason? How about the high/low on Favre that was a no-call.

The refs are getting worse.

Watched game away from PC and reading through this thread makes me happy I was not in here

A few comments

1. This one might be the mother of all f'ck ups for Favre. This game was theirs to take. They were right there needing only a few yards to kick that field goal. Ryan Take it to the Bank Longwell was going to nail that kick down the middle of the uprights if he was in range and he's gold in a dome.

Favre could have jogged five yards and given Longwell a 47-50 yard field goal. Just pure stupid for him to make that throw. No ifs, ands, or buts. That decision pissed the game away for the Vikes. This one was probably worse than the Giants and Eagles botch ups by Favre. In both of those scenarios GB had to put together a long drive. They were already set up to win in this game. Favre failed.


2. Secondary, to the terrible decision by Favre, was an absolute inexcusable "Too Many Men on the Field/Huddle" penalty be the Vikings when they were in field goal range already. What were they thinking ? Was that on Bevell, the OL coach, or Childress ? Making this inexcusable coaching/personnell mistake caused #1 to happen. Because IMO Longwell would've nailed the kick from the spot they were at.

3. I called this last week; I expected the home team to win on this one. I expected a hostile environment and noted my view that Favre would have a rough game. If this game were in Minnesota I'd have picked them.

This game shows how important it is to secure home field advantage. No more slow crap starts for Green Bay next year. We need to get it done right off the bat.

This entire post reminds me that now Queens fans have their own version of Fourth-and-26 and the 07 Giants loss to gnash teeth over, to dessicate, to mince and dice and digest forever and ever. Peterson's fumbles? Favre's interceptions? The play calling? Who was the 12th guy who wasn't supposed to be on the field? Why oh why didn't Favre just run for that first down or get close enough for Longwell to kick?

Now they have a way to wile away the winter in Minnesota.

Enjoy, fellas.

Lemme see....... 51-yard field goal? That sounds good! Let’s just burn 30 seconds off the clock! That way, my ancient QB will be tempted to make a horrible mistake on 3rd and long.

Mike Tice stupid.

Hardly. The turnovers were the game.

I thought that was funny when he did that. Especially after Rice's mocking of the Sharper Shake.

How can we end the tyranny of the FOX robot?

Ideas?

I think a warm bath with an electrical appliance would do it, or in this case, just a bath!!

That had to be just a horrible game to watch as a Viking fan. They did everything they could to piss that one away. The Saints were tight as a drum and the Vikings were the vastly superior team. The Vikings should have won by two TDs. If Favre runs out of bounds they win by one FG. That play reminded me of Favre's INT in the '95 NFC Championship game down 31-27 (Not to mention the '07 NFCC game). Favre can run for 1-2, throw to Chewy for 4-5 or throw it away. He throws a pick. Vikings fans have to feel snake bit and they now understand the unique pain of Packer fan circa 1997-2007. The Trophy case remains empty for another year....

Spot on. Although I don't only blame him since they turned it over a bunch of other times.

[mngolf19]

The 1-7 month period over which Favre retires will be a sad, happy, depressing, exciting, boring 1-7 month period.

as i said before...i'll bet he announces he's coming back right away...another shot at the Packers.

I agree with this. He sounded awfully happy about this season prior to the game.

What did the Vikings serve for their pre-game meal? Turnovers. This caused them all to choke!

If your playing in a game your not supposed to be in and are not favored to win, is it really a choke? Bad play, yes. Good play, yes. Hardly a choke.
