AFC / NFC Championships Thread: Live and Down to get down[views:6942][posts:54]________________________________ [Jan 25,2010 4:07pm - xmikex ""] I'm gonna say something that's unpopular, but here goes... The INT wasn't Favre's fault. That drive should have been a 3 and out, but the Vikes caught a huge break when Tracy Porter couldn't wrap up a tackle on Bernard Berrian. They put the Saints on the run on a 41 yard drive, but as soon as they crossed the 50 look at where their play calling went: C.Taylor left guard to NO 33 for 14 yards C.Taylor right guard to NO 33 for no gain A.Peterson right end to NO 33 for no gain Instead of keeping with the gameplan that was cutting up the Saints D they go ultra conservative, telegraph the run, and try to lay it up for a 50+ yard field goal like it was a sure thing. And they had timeouts. The whole field was wide open, and they're running out the clock like they're inside the 20. You add in the 12 men in the huddle debacle (again, not Favre's fault), and all of a sudden you're in a must pass situation with the all time leader in post season INTs. The Vikings had been accruing bad karma all season, and Childress walked right into this one. His characteristic conservative play calling, and the team's lack of discipline rolled out the red carpet for Favre's induction to the hall of shame. |

| _________________________________ [Jan 25,2010 4:50pm - RustyPS ""] while I do agree the playcalling was suspect, and the 12 men in the huddle was idiotic to have happen on what should've been the last drive of the NFC championship game, Favre should've never thrown it in the middle of the field across his body with all of his momentum going towards the right sideline....as Aikman said during one of the replays of that play, that throw was the classic "what not to do" for QBs you're absolutely right, it should've never gotten to that point, but it did, and Favre fucked up |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 25,2010 5:28pm - SkinSandwich ""] Favre threw that across the body INT just so he can get more whore attention he craves so much. Positive or negative. I want to cum on his daughters buttocks. |
