I told him actually they were "lucky" to still be in the game. In the game of IF we could play:

IF the Saints would have recovered some of those other fumbles.
IF the Saints receivers would have held onto a few of those throws.
IF Porter runs outside after that interception.
IF Thomas doesn't stumble on the return in OT.
IF the proper call would have been made for roughing the passer when a Vikings player did the same exact thing to Brees (launch and drive him into the ground in OT) as was done to Favre.

He stopped me after these.

That right there drove me crazy and I'm a Colts fans! I'm screaming at the TV run to the outside you moron! All he had was a bunch of fat slow Olinemen to beat that becomes a pick 6 but instead he tries to go inside and ends up running right into one of those fat linemen.

Is a shame to because the only way that games ends any sweeter is if that was a pick six.

Exactly my point, arguably we may have made more or less mistakes. However we made the least crucial mistakes. Which is what the Score Board always shows.

DUDE!!!! Your avatar is magical!!!!!!!

I'm sick of hearing Vikings fans saying "if we didn't fumble" like they fumbled purely out of nerves, having back-ups replace injured starters, or faulty equipment (I've actually heard players blame fumbles on new gloves). We CAUSED those fumbles!!! That's what we do. Maybe 2 of those 6 fumbles were purely their own mistakes, but the other 4, we stripped the ball from them!

If they scored more points... they would have won to but they didn't.

Vikings like their fans are gay....not that there's anything wrong with that.

Even that moron "Ed" fromthe Ed SHow on MSNBC said the Viks should have won.

Lets pull put a "Mora-ism"

Soulda, woulda, coulda"

BUT we are going to the Super Bowl!!!

SaintPauly · 01-27-2010, 01:14 AM

Going by that logic, then I guess the Pats, SHOULDA won the superbowl against the Giants, because they were undefeated in the season, so that made them the better team right? No. They were the better team, that day. That's what the play offs are for, to figure out, who the better teams are, and narrow it down to the superbowl. That's exactly what happened. We won the game, THAT DAY. Bad calls, went both ways, so I don't even want to hear that excuse.

Besides, turning over the ball five times in one game, is a damn good indicator, as to why you lost the game. I've always wondered, which is the best way to look at fumbles: Is it better as a fan, to say, that the defense caused alot of pressure, that made these turnovers possible? Or would you say, "we beat ourselves with mistakes", which to me means, "we are incompetent football players, that cannot be trusted in a big game situation". Either one, is a recipe for a loss, but I think I would go with the first one, instead of throwing my own team's players under the bus, after them going out and playing their butts off for me, only to be insulted that way. But maybe that's just me.

There is an expression;

Excuses are like (_!_)holes.
Everybody has at least one.

The VyQueen fans collectively happen to be one, it would appear.
