NFL Vice President of Officiating on Brett Favre Hit

People need to get the frick over it.

Vikings would have turned the ball over anyway.

why are saints fans still giving a frick about this?

"Pretty much a direct shot into the back of [Favre's] legs," Pereira said of the hit.

Translation:


"The NFL would have had record TV ratings with Favre in the super bowl and we all know the NFL is only concerned with making as much money as possible- screw what team might have been better"

Also I loved how the hit on Sanchez after he handed the ball off "wasn't a personal foul"

ex florida players are good for something.

The guy that hit him was knocked down by the O lineman and had to bear crawl to make the tackle. How was he not going to hit him in the legs? What did they want him to do, give up on the play since he was in an awkward position to begin with?

So what is right. There were other calls we WERE flagged on, that even Troy Aikman, who would tend to sympathize with QBs, thought were BS, both of which kept Vikings drives alive, and resulted in touchdowns.

ALSO, even if this was flagged, and put the Vikings in the redzone, it doesn't guarantee they would have scored.

There were non calls, and bad calls all throughout that game, most of which went against the Saints, IMHO.

Anytime there is a close game, there is going to be scutiny of each, and every call, and whether it had an impact on the game. How about this for an impact on the game;

The two calls of roughing the passer, that were called on the Saints, both were BS. Even Troy Aikman, as I pointed out earlier, agreed they were BS, and he was a QB. BOTH calls kept the Viking's drives alive, both resulting in a touchdown, when otherwise the Saints had the Vikings stopped. Take away those two calls, and theoretically you take away two Vikings touchdowns, and give the Saints two extra possessions, because the Vikings would have to punt. THEN, the game is a blowout. You see, two can play at this game, and begin assuming a different outcome of the game. Vikings fans need to get over this. Maybe the non call on that particular play, was to make up for the two calls earlier, which were complete BS. It all evens out, in the end. The Saints won, now move on!

this is the proper response.

I saw one play where Drew was driven into the turf, but no flag was thrown.
