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.
