How do you throw an interception when you can easily run for the yardage you need?

I know this thread is a day old, but I just read this. If Minnesota could have easily run for the yardage needed, then why was it 3rd and 10? I guess you're claiming that Farve could have scrambled for 6-7 yards? Please find me Brett Farve's rushing statistics. There were two Saints linebackers ready to pummel the 40+ year old man with a bad ankle and sore ribs from the pummeling he had taken all night. Even if Farve would have gotten six or seven yards from where he threw the ball, he was still 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage. So he only would have gained a couple of yards on the play. I know you're not going to pin your Super Bowl hopes on a 54 yard fg.

The play started on the NO 38. They need to get to the NO 35 to kick a 52 yard field goal, a distance which Longwell had been nailing in pregame. All Favre needs to do is pick up 3 yards, and they kick the winning field goal.

(6 or 7) - 3 = 3 or 4; not 2
It looked to me like Favre could have gotten a lot more than 3 or 4 yards if he had run it; however, even you think he could have picked up the necessary yards.
Favre made a mistake. Childress made a mistake. Those mistakes cost the Vikings a chance to go to the Super Bowl.
My point is simple. People make mistakes. It doesn't mean they are incompetent or don't know what they are doing.
The Vikings mistakes were bigger than the LSU mistakes against Ole Miss. It doesn't mean that LSU has incompetent coaches or players. The LSU coaching staff made a mistake.
They also coached a team to an MNC.

You forgot one big mistake by the Coaching staff and that was before he threw the INT they had 12 men in the huddle penalty and that is why they had to run the play they did. Farve just did not need to throw back across the middle of the field, that is one of the first things that they are taught in the NFL before they take the field. All he had to do was run as far as he could and then go down and give it to the kicker. The worst that it could have cost them is exactly what they got, OVERTIME! Not an INT on Farves last play of the year or maybe as a PRO. Bad Move on His Part!
