For real. I had forgotten how many turnovers the Vikings had committed. They absolutely should have won that game. If they don't commit just one of those turnovers they probably win it.

I'd also forgot how poorly officiate that game was.

Of course, like usual, almost all the penalties were bad calls against the Saints or no calls like when they called roughing the passer for Brett Favre for driving him to the ground, even thought he fell down and Hargrove's momentum took him that direction, then near the end of the game one of the Vikings player did the exact same thing to Drew Brees and it went uncalled.

There was one horrible call that went against the Vikings near the end of the game and that was the defensive pass interference against Dave Thomas that they called on Leber. That absolutely 100% was not pass interference.

ETA: Almost forgot. To all those cry baby fans, especially Vikings fans, that were complaining that the Saints were roughing up Brett Favre illegally - that was the first time I rewatched that game and I made a point to watch all the hits on Favre. Every single one of those hits, even the supposed roughing the passer hit, were all clean hits. None of them were late, none of them were high or to the helmet and none of them were unnecessary. Every single hit was hard and clean.

I cant watch that game.

Watching Super Bowl now on YouTube

FLUKISH.

THIS ISN'T DETROIT, MATES THIS IS THE SUPER BOWWWWLLLL!!!!

That Vikings announcer sure got us back last year tho

Watched it for the first time since 09 and I never realized how bad we actually played. The offensive line looked like complete dogshit and the secondary was porous.

The turnovers and refs saved our arse.

All but about 2 of the 9 penalties that were called on the Saints were complete, bogus bullshite. And there were a couple non calls that should have went against the Vikings that didn't. There was only one bad call against the Vikings. I didn't really look for any non-calls for them.

Eh I didn't watch too closely but we had some big calls go in our favor. Like the PI on David Thomas in OT

That was definitely a big blown call by the officials. No doubt. I mentioned that one specifically as probably the worst call of the night. But that one terrible call doesn't make up for the multitude of bad calls and no calls that went against the Saints.

No-call on Porter pulling Shiancoe's towel on a route (pass was caught so it didn't matter).

I think I missed that one. Like I said, I wasn't really looking for no calls that should have been in the Vikings favor. No calls are obviously a lot harder to find because you have to go look for them actively. Bad calls are easy because it's the highlight in the moment.
