NFL, what's your call on this?

From the way those guys were hitting him, I don't think he'll be fucking anything for a few weeks.
wow farve lost that game for them. i hope he knows that and i hope he retires for good this time. as a vikings fan thanks for a good run but that fucked up play by him just took everything back.
Steve Young > Brett Favre
Blame Adrian Peterson if you need to pass the buck ... 3 TDs don't excuse dropping the rock that much.
Favre was a fucking machine tonight. The guy was battered and broken and kept making play after play. The only reason you got this far in the first place was because of Favre dipshit. Otherwise you be sputtering along with T Jackson.
it should of been there game the whole way but yes turnovers fucked them over but that last play before overtime. They could of won the game there if he ran and got the 10 yards open right in front of him. but he threw an interception with a rookie QB mistake which you should never do.
lol if it wasn't for favre they would have never made it this far... t-jack seriously? rosenfels who?
Pierre Thomas was huge early and in OT. Almost makes up for him fucking up my fantasy squad during the regular season.
Colts/Saints gonna be the best SB in a long damn time, probably since '83.

So how uninteresting is a Superbowl match-up a girl could have called before the playoffs even started?
The Jets got sloppy on coverage assignments and needed to force a turnover on D. The Vikings won the football game, they just turned the ball over too many times (5? 6?) and did it in the red zone twice. WTF?
While New Orleans, who has never been before, certainly deserved to get to the Superbowl this year- it was pretty fucking classless to clearly be out to hurt Favre and send him into retirement on a stretcher.
If you don't think it's the objective of every defense in the NFL to try and hurt the opposing team's quarterback, you're clueless.
Now I'm not talking permanent injury, but they all want to deliver pain on every down. It's part of the game.
Most QBs would have been out of that game in the first quarter but it shows how tough Favre is. Dude is the terminator out there. Feel bad that he lost but he's got his ring and he got in the way of destiny this year.
You're right, I'm totally clueless.
Every D wants to take out a QB. I get that. No question. I was a 4 y/o watching MNF with my dad when I saw Theismann's leg bend back like a snapped twig. That was a fluke, LT was a dangerous guy but he didn't intend for that to happen. He still hasn't seen a replay- to this day. Shit happens when you have 300+ lb guys knocking you over from multiple directions.
Now fast forward to last night. If you go through the replays, there is no way you can deny that the blitz team for NO were gunning to take Favre out. Why? AP is overrated and, even nearing 41, Favre was still the most potent offensive player they had. Take him out and you uproot their ability to score, which, ostensibly they did after that left ankle hit.
Did you notice that every subsequent hit after that was ginger by comparison? Yeah, they may have still knocked him over, but compared to the first 11 drills he got the latter 4 or 5 looked like they were playing tag. They still achieved their objective as a D, but they didn't do it by intentionally hurting a guy who is- love him or hate him- a living legend on the football field.
That is all. That is my point. I would argue you can play effective defense without having to aim to maim someone on every blitz. Shit, Craig MacTavish played NHL hockey for more than 20 years without a helmet and still won a Stanley Cup with the Rangers in 94. Why? Because no one made it their goal every play to take his head off.
That wouldn't have anything to do with Paytons preference for going for it on 4th and less than 4 once he enters the other teams territory. Hartley kicked multiple 45+ yarders last season and the first kick he attemped this year, as time ran out in the first half, hit the upright from 56.
d00d's 20 of 22 on FG's in his career (reg season), that's not luck.
