Looked like it was uncatchable to me. Of course, if Brett Favre doesn't throw one of his dumbest passes ever, then we aren't left to worry about it.
It is amazing how well Favre played. But, of course that last play he messed up on is what cost the Vikes the game. All game he didn't choke and it was the fumbles costing them the game. But, he choked at that moment..... I mean the Vikings would have had the game won most likely if Patterson held on to that ball back in the end of the 1st half( either by TD or FG).
The whole offense cost them the game. It is a shame that Favre's one mistake in the game cost them the game at the end, but those fumbles overall cost them the game.
The Saints better screw their heads on right if they expect to have a fighting chance against the Colts. The only Saint who should be happy with his performance tonight is Garrett Hartley. Yeah, they obviously pulled together four touchdowns, but it was just garbage football by both teams.
I have a feeling that the only Colts fans will be those in Indiana. "I'm all alone...there's no one here beside me..." Also, what's the deal with hating Manning? Is it because he's talented? Really, I don't understand it.
Oh well. Go Blue

And they didn't protect Favre for crap. He had what? 14 hits on the night. Which one injured his ankle which is why I suspected he elected to pass the ball instead of running it on that last play. Why risk further injury to that ankle and causing him to miss the SB on one play.......
Favres a faker needs to hike up his skirt and retire for realz now. Seriously though, the interception is what people will see as the turning point. I've been telling poeple all season that have been giving me crap about favre "just wait until that 4th quarter playoff interception". I called it from the start. It's tine for the Nfls biggest prima Donna to call it quits. I used to have so much respect for the man before he pulled this seasons stunt. The pack administration might have deserved seeing Brent play as a jet, but packer fans didn't deserve seeing him play for the viqueens

I am not rooting for either team in the SB, but what did you call Indy's first half?
I don't care how bad you call the Saints, but they beat the Vikings, a pretty decent team. On top of a good postseason, they had an amazing regular season. And it's not as if the Saints got only ten points or something low.
I think the SB may be close and I slightly favor the Saints, but if any Saints fans think they are going to run over Indy, they have to take into account Manning, who can dangerous any time he handles the football. Indy can't be counted out until the game is over. Manning, like Elway in a previous era, is one QB that can be down by 14 points in the 4th and come back and win it all.
There isn't enough data on Brees to know what kind of QB he is in huge games year after year. This will be a first for the Saints in the Super Bowl. I can't wait to see this one as opposed to other years where I would rather watch the commercials.
Favres a faker
Whatever. Favre has a home here if he wants to come back, it was slop far from a blowout.
Colts eat those saints...
Agreed. The Vikings had *5* turnovers and the Saints barely pulled out a win in OT thanks to the last Vikings interception. If you are +4 in turnovers you should be dominating the other team on the scoreboard. That Saints have to play better against the Colts if they want any shot at winning the SB.
Lethal
Oh believe me, I know that Indy played a schoddy first half. For some reason, they like coming back in the second half. I don't know if they're intentionally trying to make good TV or what, but I only have so much fingernail to bite. I guess I'll have to take some pointers from the other thread.
And don't get me wrong, there's a reason why the Saints were going to go undefeated. Brees is a phenomenal QB and the regular season really paved their way to the Superbowl.
If you ask me though, the Saints were playing to get into the Superbowl, and the Colts are playing to win it.
Just a couple of thoughts
1. Vintage Favre throwing the pick to end things. Last pass as Packer... pick in the playoffs (overtime), last pass as a Jet... pick, last pass as a Viking (we can only hope)... pick in the playoffs. I used to love early Favre. This incarnation needs to be put to pasture. It isn't that he can't play, he is still as good or better than half the QB's in the league. It is the circus that is "Favre" that I can't stomach.
2. Manning is a great QB. Greatest of all time? Shrug. What is the fascination with naming someone THE greatest of all time. Didn't win the big ones in college and never beat the Gators. One Superbowl when he arguably had the best team several years. He is one of the best "two minutes left in the half" QB's and nobody wants him to have the ball with a chance to win the game (see Belichik's pucker). But once again, the media hype is over the top for him, for Archie and Eli. They make funny commercials, but I dislike anyone that is hyped beyond all recognition, and Favre, Manning and Tebow are trifecta for that. Not looking forward to two weeks of the Manning family stories.
3. The J-E-T-S have a good team, not a great team. The are built similarly to the Ravens SB team. Good to great defense, strong running, and adequate QB play that doesn't lose the game. They had a good run, but the proof will come next year with the sophomore slump for Sanchez and how the develop under Ryan. Free agency, draft and more will play a part.
4. The Saints are a great story. Philip Rivers is good, but the Chargers kicked a great QB out of San Diego. Brees is a leader, a competitor and a winner against the odds at Purdue, in San Diego and now New Orleans. He is the perfect QB to lead the Saints and New Orleans out of obscurity. They have their weaknesses too, and they will have their hands full.
I will root for the Saints and hope for the best.

Wow these last two games were great. I'm glad to see the jets and the vikings lose
Now we'll have to hear continually about that attention hoar Favre debate whether he wants to retire or not for the next 9 months.
The super bowl is going to be a good one, but I suspect that the colts will win this one. Partly because they've been here before and won't let the event take their attention off the prize and also they just seem a little better at this stage.

Right before he threw that I IM'd my friend "pick-6 coming up right here." I was half-right.
The Jets just struck me as pretenders in the playoffs. Their defense was only better than the offenses they were playing against, but Manning made them look ordinary. The Ravens were a "great" defense in that even the best couldn't figure them out.
It was the Battle of the Fumbles. Really disappointed in the outcome, especially that last catch. ****ing terrible..
And so it begins..The annual installment of "Will he stay or retire?Again"
And it looks like the Tebow era/saga is beginning:

Do you think he's good enough to be pro quality QB in the NFL?
I'm not trying to start a flame war, but his passing skills are not as strong his running ability.
