that catch was bobbled. No catch, back them up and try again. While he was juggling the beak of the ball hit the ground. Incomplete. ---

I take it back. The refs do want the Saints to win. ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > that catch was bobbled. No catch, back them up and try again. While he was juggling the beak of the ball hit the ground. Incomplete. No, he had it against his leg. The PI was bullshit, this one wasn’t. At least not enough to overrule the call on the field. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > No, he had it against his leg. The PI was bullshit, this one wasn’t. Yeah, the angles I saw, I think he had it. At worst, I didn’t think there was any incontrovertible evidence to overturn it. The PI call, though. Awful. ---

Well, that’s a tough ending, in a way. Good for the Saints, but heart-breaking for the Vikings, especially since the PI call wasn’t a good one, probably, and there were so many reviews, etc. Still, you live by the Favre, you die by the Favre. Green Bay fans know that so well. ☹ ---

Proving once again that Brett Favre is his own worst enemy. ---

So Joe Buck said that Favre’s last pass as a Packer was a pick in OT to the Giants. Can his last pass ever pleasepleaseplease be a stupid pick in the waning seconds of the 4th quarter to the Saints? Please? ---

Green Bay fans know that so well. ☹ Yeah, shitty way to bring the endgame with the PI, but the Vikings had more than enough opportunities to seal it and they just didn’t. ---

Even if Favre hadn’t thrown the interception, a 50-yard FG for the win is no guarantee. This was an unfortunate OT with all the extremely generous spots and then the terrible PI call. ---

I have no idea if I’m happy or sad about this outcome! Pretty awesome field goal, though! For the Superbowl, though, I am totally cheering for the Saints! ---

Nobody can pin this one on the refs. The VIkings had something like forty turnovers. ---

> [@DSYoungEsq](#): > > Still, you live by the Favre, you die by the Favre. Green Bay fans know that so well. ☹ If you would have told me before the season started that Favre would have a spectacular season, yet make a stupid fucking pass across his body that resulted in an interception that cost the Vikings a real chance at going to the Super Bowl, I would have laughed my ass off. Actually to see it happen, I actually feel a little bit bad. ---

Another kick in the balls to add the the Vikings’ fans collection. We’ve been fucked by zebras so many times, I’m surprised my kids don’t have stripes. Enjoy your illegitimate victory, Saints fans. Just remember, New Orleans drinks Twin Cities sewage. I’m going to go flush my toiet and send you some more water. ---

I’m going to go flush my toiet and send you some more water. Why did I have a feeling you were going to pin this on the refs? Yes, that last PI call was terrible. But the Vikings choked. I was cheering for them all the way, but they fucked up bad with the turnovers. ---

I’m going to go flush my toiet and send you some more water. That PI call was terrible but min had a shot at a Field goal at the end of regulation and it was blown. Nobody to blame but themselves. It shouldn’t have gone to OT.
