As a lifelong Vikings fan, I don’t know why I’m rewatching this. Is it masochism? Idk. I distinctly remember this game as I was 19 years old and this was the first Vikings season I truly invested in. I watched EVERY game. Every pass. Every run. Every touchdown. Every emotion. I’ll never forget jumping up and down with my friends as Favre got us in the red zone late in the fourth quarter and hugging each other, shouting, “WE’RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL! WE’RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!” Pure elation. Then it happened…. Brett Favre threw across his body over Chester Taylor into the defense’s arms. We watched in horror as we screamed, “NOOOOOO.” You all know how the rest of the game goes. Another typical heartbreak for the Vikings fans. I should know better not to get my hopes up. This was a pivotal moment in my Vikings fandom. Maybe one day, just one day, I’ll be able to witness my beloved team even MAKE it to a Super Bowl. Until then, I will sit and keep my hope in check.

[@drewdrewski4188]

The fact that Favre's performance in this game is defined by the INT at the end feels like a travesty, but it's really just the cruel reality of sports. For the first 59 minutes, Favre was the best player on the field fpr either team, and he did it while his teammates fumbled about 482 times & he was taking the most savage/dirty beatdown a QB has endured in modern NFL history. But all anyone remembers is the pick.

[@phillyeaglesforlife5127]

I get what you mean, he's one of the greatest qbs of all time who'll forever be criticized for some ugly interceptions, especially considering two of them were in NFC title games that kept him from two more possible SB appearances

[@timmyjimmytoo]

Disagree with lots of what you said. The only travesty was the pass interference call in O.T. THAT was B.S. The refs called some late hit calls. He threw (Favre ) two pics, the second one he had a receiver wide open to his right, or he could have ran for 10 yards putting them in field goal range. What 6 fumbles. They beat themselves. Brees got pumbled in the O.T. period as well, That Packers defender DROVE him into the turf and there was no call.

@@lilBabyBornInCalifornia There's a difference between Cheating and "being mean". A "Bounty" is illegal, but it isn't cheating. The saints won fair and square on the field, there's no cheating involved there. In the locker rooms, the Saints were dirty and that's a fact, but it isn't cheating. By your definition, any team who intentionally tried to hurt a player in the history of the NFL should have their superbowls taken away or have asterisks by them. The 85 bears had players who wanted to hurt people. The Raiders of the 70s and 80s. Even someone as recent as Hines Ward intentionally blindside blocked players with Helmet hits so they'd be out of the game, they even named the Rule after him. It isn't cheating, it's just being mean. You people need to get over yourselves. Hurting players isn't cheating, and if it was, any time someone got hurt on accident, you'd have to debate if it were cheating. Is it morally wrong? Yes. Is it cheating on the field? No.

[@Luke-pd7xj]

Umm Brett farve throws one of the worst passes and gives the ball back to the saints, when they could easily just kick a field goal and off to the Super Bowl y’all would’ve went. But no a veteran qb makes a costly mistake. And yet you blame the refs...

[@skoljoe]

Thank you!. I've been saying this for 10 years. NFL history is revisionist history. They leave all the small details out of the mix. So they can create some "storybook" tale.

Yeah but its truly heart breaking. Brett threw that interception because its habit if brett would have just ran a few yards its possible bryan longwell could have made that kick.

As a Brett Favre fan it was so emotional to see that happened man I felt for him and that team. They had the best team that year and to me one of the best put together teams in NFL history the Minnesota Vikings. I mean the game didn't have to be that close anyway Adrian Peterson was fumbling a lot, Shaincoe fumbled as well. I'm not taking anything away from the Saints but it was clear that the Vikings beat themselves. When they lost...I shredded a few tears because I knew the Vikings would never go back and it was OVER!!!

[@johnkeith8619]

key point AP never lost a Fumble that game he actually gained 30 yards on one of them as he recovered it. the 49er win was the pivot of that season once that happened Favre basically got the team to buy into the Magic that was Favre and it basically got Favre to be able to tell Chilldress to F off when Favre changed a play.

[@ThePasterio]

From GB. Farve threw away alot of games as a Packer. His last throw for GB in the NFC Championship game vs the Giants, was an interception that was Farve's fault. The last throw for the Jests was an interception. The last throw for the Vikings was a interception. I told a Vikings fan that Farve will let you guys down. And he did. Lol

Why can't anybody just enjoy the game for what it is? Instead, everyone has to make a case for "had this happened, then this would have happened," or my favorite "the Saints cheated their way to the title." The fact is, the Vikings and Saints both played awesome, but the Vikings cannot expect to win a road Conference Championship game by turning the ball over FIVE times. That will never win you a game.

[@ephemispriest8069]

Actually, the Vikings played poorly and the Saints managed to play even worse. Which only let the refs decide the outcome, because had the Vikings played well it would have been a blowout. Turning the ball over five times is not playing well. Keep trying to make excuses for your phony title Tainter.

As a Saints fan I can admit that the pass interference call in overtime was a bogus call against the Vikings. But Vikings fans have to be honest and admit that their team turned the ball over 200 times. That's the main reason they lost.

[@RattlsnakeHands]

I disagree with you, and that pass interference wasn't the only bogus overtime call, but its refreshing to see a Saints fan say something beyond "LOL SALTY, WHODAT" as if they would handle this kind of game with some sort of dignified aplomb. And as a lifelong Vikings fan, I can admit we turned the ball over too many times to expect a win, but sometimes you can turn it over alot and still DESERVE the win, without the Refs having to step in.
