Was it a catch?

[wr50l]

I love how people are retarded enough to think that the NFL had some conspiracy involvement in every close call that went one way or the other. If there was a bad call it was because the refs didn't have the right evidence to overturn it or they just made a bad call, not because the NFL was slanting the calls to one team.

Do you have any conclusive evidence of this NFL neutrality? Exactly! Not only are the NFL judging the outcome of the games, they are also making it seem that they are influencing the games to stir up controversy. In light of this, I'm sure you will all agree that the Vikings got screwed.

Minny fucked up the end of the game badly. u run 2 times to gain 2 yards then u decide to rhow it? wtf

why not pass 2nd down then run to setup the kicker?

but all tht sht was moot cuz the stupid ass vikings had 12 men on the filed pn what was the biggest play of the past 10 years.

 

[BUCK3YE5]

why not pass 2nd down then run to setup the kicker?

my exact thought

 

[Point Blank]

Definitely not a catch but hey, what can you do?

 

[Sportsbuck]

I think he got the 4th and inches...

...pass interference was a pretty bullcrap call...

...and i think it was incomplete. All year they've been harping on completing throughout the catch... and then you get this.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

WHAAAAAA WHAAAAA WHAAAAAA....

1.It was a catch as his arm was under the Ball..

2.no it was not interference, but there are some calles the vikings didn't get flagged for either.

3.on the 3rd and 3 before the FG it was clearly PI so what about that...

4.Favre was contact was made above the knee.

5.The previous RTP penalty was BS so you can say it was a wash...

6.you can't overturn unless you clearly see him not make the 4th and inches it was the wrong call and on that play you could not...

No.

The refs got cold feet on that one, because of the closer call a few plays earlier.

lol @ the NFL "wanting NO in the superbowl"



Yes, the NFL forced brett favre to roll out and throw probably one of the dumbest passes he's ever thrown in his career. It's all a conspiracy.

 

[RainboUnicorn]

Why do you think Brett Favre has one superbowl in his career? You cannot make that kind of mistake when you have been in the NFL that long. Same exact thing happened in Green Bay when Favre threw the INT in OT to Webster to win the game for the Giants. But You do NOT throw accross your body and ESPICALLY across the field in that situation. He had running room as well, take the 4-5 yards, slide, and call timeout, and set up one of the better kickers in the NFL to win the game for you. It probably would have been a 52-53 yarder, but Longwell is one hell of a kicker, and it's in a dome.

Favre is one hell of a QB, but he seems to have mental breakdowns that end up hurting his team in the playoffs.

Also, you cannot have 5 turnovers and expect to win the game, Vikings were lucky to even have that much of a chance to win the game.

Overall, turnovers, dumb clock management and that dumb mistake cost them the game, you can make all these excuses with the PI call etc, but in the end, they had the chance to win the game and blew it.

Congrats to the Saints, and I'm looking forward to one hell of a superbowl.

Exactly.

"After further review, the player on the field deserved to catch it, so the ruling on the field is confirmed"

 

[Argath]

No, that would've been the underhanded lame duck he threw up in the air several years ago. In response, Madden goes on to say...

"That's just Brett having fun at there."

No, he looked like a fucking retard out there John!

I would argue that the throw today was equal if not more retarded than the throw you described



Hell, rookies know not to throw across the middle of the field like that




That's not even a rookie mistake, that's a college freshman mistake

 

[bringbackjimmy]

No.

i'll give that, but contact was initiated above the knee before the high guy hit him.. He got 15 on the play before that shouldn't have been called.. so it's a wash...

 

[citizenerased]

The thing with Farve that he still thinks he's 25 years old and that it's 1996. 10 years ago he rockets that ball, Rice catches it, Longwell makes an easy 30 yard chip shot and he's off to Miami a hero. But it's not 1996, he's 40 years old and while he still has very good arm strength, it isn't the cannon he used to have.

In the regular season for the most part he adjusted his game for the first time and look at the results, but it seems that tearing apart a overated Cowboys team made him think he still had the arm to play like he used.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

It was definately not a catch.

And on that bullshit PI call, Brees would've been sacked if not for the blatant hold.

Speaking of the blatant hold... was there even a holding penalty called all game? Im trying to think back and I dont think there ever was one. But there certainly were plenty of plays that I yelled out holding while it was going on, and no flag was thrown.

 

[Derrville]

I can believe a NFL conspiracy. My dad pointed it out. Every time the refs went to booth review Payton would signal the call before the Refs said anything. Something very very shady going on.

 

[Buzzman]

Idk what you guys saw, but it was def a catch. Even if it hits the ground, its still a catch as long as it doesnt move and my dad and I looked at it several times in slow mo and the ball clearly never moves.

Not sure which catch you're looking at, but the ball moved when it hit the ground without a doubt.

 

[krulmichael]

Shouldn't have even gotten to that point. Thomas was short on that 4th and inches, ball clearly slipped back behind the marker in mid-air and from that point his body was going backwards already.

Sidenizzle - Pertaining to the catch, I dunno, it's questionable. It def was moving around, don't need slow-mo to see that, but that was one of those whatever the ruling on the field was, it was staying that way since it was "inconclusive" otherwise.

Yes, because Drew Brees and a Hurricane 5 years ago is going to be better for the NFL in revenue and ratings then Farve's last stand vs Manning at the peak of his powers.
