TFoA Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 So once again, Brett Favre's last pass in the NFL is a back-breaking interception in the NFC Championship.And I can't even enjoy the delicious irony of that happening because the team that benefited from it was the New Orleans Saints, nooooooooooo.But seriously, I can't be happier for the long-time Saints fans that have been their through thick & mostly thin with that team. I would've enjoyed them continuing their Super Bowl drought, but everybody's ttime comes & this time it's the Saints. So yeah, congrats to their fans but BOOOO TO ANYBODY WHO JUMPED ON THE BANDWAGON & ACTS LIKE THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOREVER. I SAW YOU IN THE SUPERDOME WEARING RAMS COLORS BACK IN 2001! But yeah, as a Falcons fan, my reaction can only be summed up in one word repeated 3 times by one of the most famous faces in black television: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slightly shotgunned Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I think the overtime rule is complete garbage and it needs to be changed. Now I didn't care who won this game, but although the Vikings coughed up plenty of chances, the calls blown in overtime really ruined this for me. Overtime in the NFL is always going to be garbage as long as the other team does not have the opportunity to answer on the score.Why not try and prevent the team from scoring in the first place instead of hoping to answer a score? You know, use those guys who get paid to knock the ball down when it's thrown, tackle the guy with the ball, or try and create a turnover (read: Brett Farve's last pass with the Pack). What do they call that group of guys again?There's your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Congratulations to the Saints and their fans. You've been through so much that you guys truly deserve a championship. It won't be hard to root for the Saints over the Colts.Whoever won tonight's game, if they went on to finally win the Super Bowl it would be a sure sign that the Apocalypse is nigh - and I, for one, would prefer the world NOT to end just yet. Go Colts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Number of Super Bowl appearances by the Green Bay Packers w/ Brett Favre as QB: Two.Number of Super Bowl appearances by the Minnesota Vikings w/ Brett Favre as QB: Still zero.Which, coincidentally, is the same number of appearances by the Minnesota Vikings w/Gus Ferotte as QB I saw, I came, I left.

TopCat Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I place all blame for this loss squarely on the shoulders of... Brad Childress. He looks like Squidward for God sakes! What is this? BULL DROPPINGS. Oh my mothersnucking word, AGHHHHHHHHH! WHO DAT!? STFU THAT'S "WHO"!!! Teams with fans that celebrate with improper grammar shouldn't be allowed to participate in the playoffs! That. Is also who. BRETT FAVRE SCARES ME, I IN MY PANTS EVERYTIME WE HAND OFF! Pants on the ground you say? More like dead bodies on the ground, because that's what this is. Bull :censored:ing ! They weren't having fun, they were getting raped up the ass by the officiating crew. AND THEY DID A DAMN FINE JOB! BLURRRRRRGH AH. Congrats to the Saints on "winning"! May you participate in the most boring Super Bowl game of all time and lose by the score of 3-0.I'm tired.

crashcarson15 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 You'd think the Colts won the Super Bowl with the reaction 'round these parts."Super Again" is the headline in the special edition of the Indy Star.It's a spin on the cover from Super Bowl 41, not the AFC Championship Game.

njmeadowlanders Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The last 2 times the Jets were in the AFC Title game, the Vikings lost the NFC Championship game in OT.As for my Jets, what can I say? Manning is just incredible. This team gave me a hell of a ride, completely out of nowhere, and it was just a fun and enjoyable ride for once. I'm not nearly as disappointed as I thought I'd be. I realize they've now blown 10 and 11 point leads on the road in their last 2 title games (@ Elway's Broncos in Jan '99, today @ Manning's Colts) but this one just doesn't sting as much as I thought it would.For once in my life though I finally feel like this team is moving in the right direction in general rather than just a year here and a year there with lots of sucking/mediocrity in between. I really do.And by the way, I'm so glad the Saints made it...and we got the matchup I've wanted since mid-October...Go Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is EXTREMELY fishy. I think the NFL needs to launch an investigation, there's noooo way that happens without some type of interference or illegal exchange of large sums of money. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about if the road team in a baseball game scores first and the home team is not allowed to come up in the bottom half of the inning? I'm not saying re-invent the wheel here. Just kick the ball off and give their offense a shot. I just think it's a sorry way to end a football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Just a quick take...I'm obviously jazzed that the Saints won but boy was that ugly. They reverted to almost every single bad behavior they'd supposedly fixed this season. I'll list them tomorrow, I'm too tired tonight (up at 4am, worked 6A to 5P, watched the game).Funny thing, I was in a daze when Hartley kicked the FG, like I was waiting for the Vikes to call time out or something. They'd already done that of course but I just kind of sat there, watched the ball sail through the uprights, set down the remote, and said, "Holy s***!" I went to my first Saints game in December 1969 and have lived since then believing that sooner or later, if you just hang on long enough, every dog has its day.My dog is finally going to have his. It would have to be against Peyton Freakin' Manning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
