Minnesota's missed opportunities, Favre in general, or the OT rules that allowed Minny to never get the ball?
Not a knock on N'Awlins that's just what always comes up whenever the receiving team in OT scores.
The Favre INt at the end of regulation will be the most talked about tomorrow
Peter Morelli aka vince McmanI think it was the 3 questionable (at best) calls in OT:
1. The 4th and 1 with Pierre Thomas losing control of the football - yet the officails still gave him forward progress before he lost the ball - I think the rule is you can't do so
2. The PI on Leber - on the ball that appeared to be uncatchable - it was a throw away by Brees due to the pressure - but NO got the call
3. Huge non catch by Meacham - ball hit the ground with no control, but it wasn't overturned....
Everything fell into place for NO - win the flip, and 3 calls that were questionable ALL went their way....
The NFL is much like the NBA - the officals determine the outcome. Not sure if there is way to get away from that, but it is too bad that the whole NFL season gets defined by calls in OT, along with an outdated, poor OT format that the NFL uses......
