Dude...the Saints won the game because Adrian Peterson is garbage in meaningful games, Favre is now & always has been an interception machine, and Brad Childress is a f*cking retard.
If you call a pass on 3rd down with 19 seconds left, 1 time out, and you're within your kicker's range, you deserve to lose...period. They played TERRIBLE football in the second half, and saying that questionable calls decided this game is silly. The Vikings' lack of competence decided this game.
They fumbled 6 times. I would hardly put this game on Favre.
They had five turnovers. Three of them were fumbles, one being Favres, and 2 were interceptions. So thats three turnovers out of 5 all on Favre....I wouldn't say Lebreaker is crazy for putting the game on Favre.
The Fumble was on Adrian Peterson. Favre put it there but he couldn't handle it. They fumbled 6 times. They just recovered some of their own fumbles.
Yes it is crazy to put the game on Favre BTW. He played pretty well. The 12th guy in the huddle was a horrific move by somebody that took them out of field goal range. At that point Favre was just trying to force a play to get back into field goal range because the ball does you no good around the 40.
The game was more on Peterson than Favre. If there is one weakness he has it's fumbling way, way too much. For such a star player it is a glaring weakness.
Favre threw a pass into coverage with 19 seconds left on the clock on 3rd down, with one time out left on the clock while in field goal range. He could have pulled it down and run it...he could have checked to a run...or, he could have opted not to throw the ball into coverage.
Favre is an interception machine. This isn't opinion, its fact. He wasted his team's last opportunity to win the game...and his coach put him in a position to do it.
And for the record, I said that the game was lost by Peterson, Favre and Childress. Not just Favre. Just read my original post.
