NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - 2010 Offseason

[duke o' york]

Can I also say: ****ing bloody ****awful ****e officials should be sent to **** ****dogs for eternity the ****ers.

Or something along those lines anyhoose.

[Lord Avalon]

Vikings Superbowl count remains at 0.

Uh, in the real universe the s have been to FOUR Super Bowls. They just didn't win any.

[SlowwHand]

Going is a big deal. Even the Bills can be proud.

[Ben Kenobi]

Heck, it's been 32 years since they've been. Even the Bolts have made it to the dance more recently.

[DirtyMartini]

I'm with you Duke -- terrible PI call. bad non-overrule on that dropped ball -- but the Vikes should have had it in regulation. They outplayed the Saints in every way except holding onto the football. AD you kind of expect it a little at this point, but one was an exchange issue, and Percy's and Berrian's were just totally flukey. Typical Vikings gut punch loss. Now we're in for a year of "please Favre one more year".

I'm a little pissed the experts are bashing the end of regulation play calling though. I thought "run three times, gain 5 yards, kick a 48 yard field goal" was a good plan. 12 men in the huddle not so much. I also didn't think Favre could have had much if he had kept it on that boot. Maybe three yards. Not sure of the exact yardage at that point, but a scramble of that length might have made it a 52 yard field goal at best -- that's better than a pick obviously, but I can't really blame him for trying to squeeze one in at that point after the coaching staff put him in that position with a 12 man in the huddle blunder.

Ugh.

I honestly didn't actually watch much of that game -- paced and typed and listened. Actually looking at the TV was too stressful.

[SlowwHand]

Losing the ball is kind of a big deal.

[DirtyMartini]

No ****. What part of "they outplayed the Saints in every way except holding onto the football did you find confusing?

[-Jrabbit]

I agree that Favre should have tucked it in and taken the sure yards for the FG attempt on that last GB play in regulation. It was one of his only bad decisions of the day, but it cost him a trip to the Super Bowl. Sadly, getting that one key decision RIGHT and getting to the Super Bowl is the main reason he was signed...

[Guynemer]

There now remains but one NFC team to never play in a Super Bowl:

My beloved Detroit Lions.

GB?


Live by the Favre, die by the Favre.

I am so glad it ****ed it up!!!

Again.

ACK!

[Tuberski]

Did you know that for the last three teams he played for, Favre's last pass for GB, NYJ and Vikes(?) was an interception?

ACK!

[ZEE]

Good old Farve

[Ming]

Yeah... it is interesting that his last pass for his former two teams was an interception. But then again, we are talking about the career leader for interceptions

Listening to the talking heads last night, they were talking about that if he retires, he should be remembered for his gutty performance, and not the interception

[SlowwHand]

If he retires, teams can focus on Peterson even more.

[rah]

Yes, then instead of hearing about Farve's interceptions, we can hear about Peterson's fumbles.
