After listening to NFL on Sirius for since Sunday and all of the Vikings fans making comments about the Best team did not win, or should have won.

How do you define the "Best Team"?

Are you going by roster? If that was the case then why play the game? We can look at the rosters in the start of the season and go directly to the Super Bowl? Why play the Super Bowl we can just appoint a champion by roster.

Are you going off of season Stats? If this is the case then you do not have the best team.

Are you going off of game stats? If this is the case then you did not win. Turnovers negates any stat in existence. A 99 yard run to the end zone is negated if it is fumbled on the 1 yard like and the ball is turned over. A 70 yard pass is negated when the ball is intercepted.

Are you going off of record? If this is the case then you do not have the best team.

Honestly, anyone who has played the game or has participated in Team Sports, understands the "best team" is not defined by any of the above. The "best team" is the team that won. The team that won was the "best team" that game. It is not about records or stats or roster. It is about the team that showed up on Game day and played the best ball, made the fewest mistakes. At this level it is more about not making mistakes then who out preforms the other.

To the News person that asked one the Saints Players "would you say that the Saints won today or would you say that the Vikings lost today?" That was one of the most asinine questions you could ever ask and shows you do not have enough understanding of the game to report on it. I suggest you try the weather.

The New Orleans Saints Won. They showed up on Sunday 24 Jan 2010 in the Super Dome and played the best football out of the two teams, they made the fewest mistakes. The game of football is "everything". Everything from stats, to huddles, to composure, to making decisions during the game.

How can you sit and make the statement about the Vikings were the team that should have won? Their ball control was terrible, their coaching, bad clock management decisions, at one point they did not know how many players should have been in the huddle.

re you going to say they had the best quarterback? Not by a long shot pezo. Not by stats and certainly not by intelligence. Any quarterback worth his salt know you do not throw across your body into coverage.

The New Orleans Saints won. They won by making the fewest mistakes, and that is the plain undeniable truth.

I invite anyone who has the time to search out all the BS about did the Vikings loose or did the Saints win. Find all of the whiny Vikings fans who make the statement about "who should have won".... And direct them to this thread so they can be educated on the game of foot ball and how a winner is determined.
