Brett Favre's final shot at glory deserves a deep rewind | Saints Vikings 2009 NFC Championship

In 2009, after unretiring from the NFL once again, Brett Favre joined the Minnesota Vikings. He led the them on a deep playoff run and with only seconds left on the clock against the New Orleans Saints, Favre had the victory at his fingertips. To understand how we got there, lets rewind.

Love how you never saw Favre lobby for flags after being hit. He was a tough bastard, I miss watching him play

[@r.williamcomm7693]

L J Yes they pounded Favre during that game. It’s almost like the karma has haunted the Saints for a decade.

[@60BloodyChamp60]

L J this game was so bad with the dirty hits that even though what you said was correct, the 1 exception was during this game which everybody forgot because it was flagged. It was the hit that almost killed him though. Not the high/low that wasn’t flagged and replayed a million times. On the wide handoff he went to sell the fake and got decleated after the play was over. After the game he said that was a dirty hit. He never said it again about that hit or any other hits but he said it that 1 time. And it was the worst 1 for sure

Its obvious they were trying to hurt him. That high-low hit would be a penalty today. He took a serious beating in that game. But should have gotten better treatment from the refs. I watched that game and while i was never a serious Brett Farve fan i was really pulling for him in that game.

[@66limelight]

@@ephemispriest8069 Enough with the "refs gave the game to the Saints". Yes there were bad calls but they were on both sides. And YES they ignored a few bad hits on Favre. There was one early in the game that was much worse than that very first play in the video: After a hand off he was drilled to the ground (and even de-cleated as John Madden would say) well after handing off and it was not called. The refs didn't take control early in the game like they're supposed to do, I'll concede that. But even with all of that the Vikings still outplayed the Saints and lost, not because of the bad refs, but because they beat themselves. I also give credit to Porter when he popped the ball out of Barrian's hand....Great defensive play. That interception that Favre threw was typical of him. As great as he was, he was also a coach's and team's nightmare. What made him great also cost his teams many wins.

As a life long Packer fan and 11 yr Farve fan who broke my heart going to the Vikings however while watching this game and seeing how he played and by the games end he won back my respect for him. Watching the punishment he took and how he handled it especially later finding out about "bountygate" intentionally trying to injury him was both hard and awe inspiring, almost any other player today and not just a QB but any player even in their prime would more than likely not continue on after just 1 of the huge hits and he took several devastating hits that were clearly painful but even at his age he pushed thru and not only came back out but even returned and played at a high level. It was really special to see such determination a what it means to never giving up, this performance though transcended beyond just this game, that playoffs, season, this was like the culmination of his entire career almost as if this was the final 1,200th quarter of a single 12 yr long game. And even though it ended with him throwing the INT it didn't matter and even makes for a better ending to it all somehow, that even when you go so above and beyond any expectations sometimes it can still go wrong either by your own making or by something else out of your control. To me this game was a perfect example that demonstrated oftentimes its the journey and the destination that truly matters.

Favre's career interception rate was 3.3%, only a few tenths higher than guys like Peyton, Young, Montana, Marino, etc... And he played his best years (you know, the three consecutive MVPs) when defenses were still allowed to play defense. But keep parroting that BS that fits your narrative.

After learning about bountygate I am so happy the Saints have been cursed ever since playing in the super bowl and now Brees is on his way out after losing again. Farve deserved to be in that super bowl

[@19DannyBoy65]

When I saw 3rd and 15 at the start I was wondering why they weren’t kicking because I’ve been watching the CFL lots lately

[@19DannyBoy65]

And the only reason they needed 15 yards was because they had too many men on the field, presumably 12. LOL

[@noahnoah5239]

Though this video was well made the facts are not quite accurate. There were also questionable hits after the whistle. The "Bounty" was so severe after discovered that legal steps were being considered. Instead careersrs like Vilma were ended along with a season suspend of a head coach. This is ultimately the most underrated nfl game in history for fowl play. For a quarterback abused by the media from day one of not attending training camp Favres accomplishment has only been matched by Tom Brady's recent success's but than again Tom is backed with one of the greatest defensive mind genious's of all time.

[@supremesoldier354]

Don't forget peyton manning lmao

[@thefailureofallthings7723]

supremesoldier354 When was Payton abused by the media on the same level as Brady and Favre? I think you missed the point. Great qbs: Manning > Favre. QBs smeared by media: Favre & Brady > Manning. (*edit: lmao)

[@chriskay1449]

Vilma's career was not ended. IN fact, his suspension was overturned because the independent review panel ruled that Goodell overstepped his power because he provided no actual evidence that the Saints intended to injure Favre on any of those hits.Vilma would go on to play until 2017. Also, Aaron Rodgers has matched Favre's accomplishments and there are many more QB's who have more. Finally, Favre was not abused by the media. Favre got one of the biggest free passes by the media in NFL history as every INT he threw was excused as "He was trying to make a play" or "he is just being a kid" Favre got more free passes from the media than Brady ever has.

[@noahnoah5239]

@@chriskay1449 and the suspensions for a whole season by leaders i mean coaches of the game? They also looked into charges for the illegal bounty which encompasses behavior indicative of maiming a player. Again the "scheme" was to deactivate a player. The only reason why this was swept under the rug was because of Hurrican Katrina. Which to make a place suffer more to such choices but gregg williams + is trivial because it is a game in the end. But to say a player getting leniency to a guilty act while his leaders served sentences is baseless. They tainted their win and for anyone that follows football. And the legacies of great players like brees - payton.

[@chriskay1449]

@@noahnoah5239 Wrong on all counts. It wasn't swept under the rug. All the suspensions were overturned because Goodell couldn't prove any of his claims. It was impossible to prove there was any intent to injure by any player while on the field. Goodell just declared it so which was a clear abuse of his authority. The only reason Payton's suspension was not overturned was because he accepted his. He didn't fight his. Everyone else did. There is absolutely no evidence to prove anyone one of the players were trying to intentionally injure anyone. The only baseless thing here is your post.

Brett Favre is the greatest gunslinger to ever play

[@mrpotential11]

Drew C i personlly prefer peyton cause he has all the all time stats and doesnt lead EVERY qb with the most Career Interceptions like farve

[@consciousmachine4138]

TRUTH, brother. anyone whom watches football and realizes how the game has been transformed by rule changes knows Favre was the ULTIMATE QB, in ANY era.

[@DrewTooth]

Mr Potential By gunslinger, I meant someone who would throw the ball, (whether smart throw or not) to the receiver with 100% no fear of the throw. Sure Peyton is the better QB and was very particular with his passes but Favre would throw it anywhere and at any time.

[@BrickstreetSprite]

Drew C agreed whole heatedly. My two favorite quarterbacks to watch in my 32 years were Favre and Vick for 2 completely different reasons.. Love that era

The Saints on the other?? Ropped???

[@standarddef8769]

Favre was my fave player, so while he was never on my favorite team, I followed and rooted for whatever team he was on. I was all in on the 2009 Vikes, even traveled to Cleveland in week 1 so I could see Favre play in person my first and only time. I was all in on that Vikes team, really grew to like the whole team, not just Favre. What a season! The incredible last second winning TD (was it week 2 against SF), the first game against GB in MIN, and the epic return of Favre at Lambeau. I don't know if I've ever enjoyed a game more than that one. The NFC Championship in New Orleans makes me sick. Vikes should have won that game. He got killed after almost every pass but kept getting up. I still can't watch that interception. I have great memories of the 2009 Vikes, but a Championship was not meant to be, and Favre's storybook season ended in heartbreak. But what a ride it was.
