Also, major props have to go to Jermon Bushrod (great last name). Jared Allen was practically nonexistent after the national anthem and he was blocked one on one a lot of the game.

Do you think the Viking LB even touched him? I''m not sure I saw contact at all.

Yeah, I thought there was no question that there was contact beyond five yards.

You want that called all the time?

As a defensive guy I absolutely despise illegal contact. It is a rule put in to make it virtually impossible to cover wide receivers. But the rule is in place so yes they should absolutely make that call anytime a defender initiates contact beyond 5 yards.

i also think there are far too many rules these days to get the score high. apparently some like a game such as the pack/cards game a few weeks back. i can't stand high scoring, no d games.

regardless of rules, refs are terribly inconsistent.

and yeah, favre was getting murdered last night. saints made him pay dearly for the passing game. the colts won't make the same mistakes the vikings made; i expect a saints loss in miami.

I expect the Saints to win. I'm still not sold on the Colts' secondary.

I am torn between wanting to see Favre actually retire now so that his last pass with EACH of his three teams would be an interception....

or

see him come back next year to hopefully end yet ANOTHER conference championship game with a moronic interception.

Either way, I got a lot of satisfaction out of watching him fail last night. Seeing that last pick was almost as satisfying as watching Tebow and the Gators going down to Alabama.
