I agree with this. Also when I saw the reply there seemed to be a LB waiting for him not too far down the field. Even though Aikman says he could have run for it I seriously doubt it. It looked like the Saints had the run covered. He had no choice but to try and force a pass. I would rather see him try and get intercepted then try to run for it or just throw the ball away. Not saying it was the best outcome just saying he had to take a gamble at some point.

The problem with the last drive was calling so many run plays when they were just out of field goal range and the 12 man penalty. Not really his interception.

The INT was a throw they teach a 12 year old not to make. There is no excuse for it.

Favre claimed after the game he didn't run because he didn't know how many yards he would have needed to set up the field goal. That is an embarassing failure all around for both him and the coaching staff. How do they not once but twice go into the huddle and call a play there not knowing how many yards they want to pick up?

I don't like Longwell's chances from 55 yds (which is what the FG would have been since the ball was at the 38 - like all things revolving aorund Favre it is being exagerrated to 57 yds) but Favre's terrible play gave them no chance.

Kudos to Favre, he got hit so many times last night and kept getting back up. The man is a legend, yeah that Int was not good at the end of the game but to have played as well as he did for so long this season and for most of last night at 40 years of age is just an incredible feat.

The fumbles cost the Vikings bigtime last night, Favre would have been taking a knee in regular time only for that.

I didn't like him after '96 for obvious reasons but I respected him always, and I now realise just how fierce a competitor he is and I identify with people like that.

The last 4 times he's been to the play-offs, he's ended the season by throwing an Interception. This is nothing new..He reverted back to the Farve of old and felt the need to be a gunslinger.. And it cost them.

I gotta say I really felt bad for him man. I'm glad the Saints won, but to blow it like that (again) after coming so far you could really see it wearing on him after the game.

Our QB has obviously had better finishes in his last four postseason appearances.


vs. Baltimore
Incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, sack.

vs. NYG
Incomplete, sack, incomplete, incomplete

vs. Indy
Interception

vs. Denver
Interception


Well, maybe not.

Sure there were two crucial interceptions, but I blame the DBs of New Orleans for that. They need some work on the juggs machine. He threw at least two more right in their laps.

You do realize that he was throwing on the run when he made that terrible decision. He was injured yes, but all he had to do was throw it away, or keep running and slide, or run out of bounds....any of these and the Vikes have a great chance to win that game. Favre did a great job this year not making those decisions....until that last play!

It's been said on this thread, and Dilfer talked about it very well last night (man, is he a great analyst), but making that decision is exactly what accounts for Favre's great plays, as well. It's what makes Favre Favre.

The Vikes shouldn't have been in that position. People can call him a choker, but he played magnificently under incredible duress for most of the game, and if not for some terrible clock management that probably falls on Childress more than anyone, it should have just been a run on 3rd down to seal the FG opportunity.

Ummmmm, did you miss the INT that he threw across the field into double coverage? Who do you blame for that? and if he was not the reason for that, than who was?

Now if you are going to do the whole Chaos threory of if this had not happened than this and than that, that does not work. Bottom line, he threw a pass into the center of the field across his body. They were in field goal range. Would the guy have made it? Who knows - but Farve did not give the guy a chance, did he?
