you think they don't try to do this? of course they do, they just haven't had the execution to do so, but to say they don't want or try to is stupid, of course they do.

Bottom line, the Saints won. Period.
I hate that for Favrey and the Vikes but the Saints won. Don't turn the ball over.....you control that part.

I agree. I've said it all season long. LSU and Saints have the same defense....and I still don't like it, only the Saints have an offense.

Except for the whole part of, you know, scoring more points

The biggest thing I took away from the game is how the NFL is fixed and the referees decided that game in overtime. I've followed the saints my whole life, and now after Katrina they've been one of the best teams in the NFL. I call b.s.
I'm happy they won, but not so happy in 'how'.
WTF?
1) The officiating was heavily favoring the Vikings for most of the game - FOX showed a graphic right before Peterson's third TD where the penalties/yards were 2/10 Minny and 9/88 Sants.
2) If the game were fixed, then according to Yahoo! a Vikings fix would be better for ratings. LINK
But don't let facts get in the way of a good opinion!

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!

So he runs as far as he could, which was going to be a couple of yards. His kicker must now make a FG in the range of 52-54 yards to send his team to the Super Bowl.
Or, Farve could have completed the pass to the New Orleans 22 yard line, and given the kicker a 40 yard shot at the game winner, the same distance that Hartley made for the Saints.
My point is that the big screw up was the 12 men in the huddle, which is not Farve's fault. After the two runs for no gain and the penalty, Farve was forced to try and make a play. That's what ya'll are understanding about Farve; what's the difference in a missed 55 yard FG to go to OT, or him throwing a pick while trying to give their kicker a legit shot? Farve isn't afraid to fail. He was playing to win.
