re: Which ending was worse: Ole Miss game or Minnesota game?

I know you were going for something else, but I don't see how the pick was THAT bad. The Vikings were on the 40 yard line, so they were essentially out of field goal range. Yes, he forced the pass, but if he thrwos it incomplete, the Vikings don't score and they go to OT... which is what happened.

I actually think that was the time to force the ball. High risk, but if he doesn't force it, the Vikes don't score.

Then again, I'm not on the "Miles is a moron" bandwagon, so don't mind me.

4-5 yards to even attempt the FG in my mind

situation doesnt even compare to LSU/Ole Miss (just wanted to give an objective opinion)

Actually, where the Vikes screwed up was the illegal substitution penalty that pushed them out of FG range and forced them to throw.

Like Henderson said, Brett's gotten away with forcing throws like that his entire career. That time he didn't.

True, the only thing that might compare to the Ole Miss game was the 12 men-in-the-huddle penalty after a timeout. They were technically in field goal range before that. I forgot about that penalty.

Pretty boneheaded penalty at a very critical time of the game.

And Favre could have easily run for 4 yards if they absolutely needed it . . . except that he didn't even know how many yards they needed.
