Is it possible to play any dirtier than the saints defense just played?

[PhillyB]

for real? i can't count the number of times brett favre was hit gratuitously late, or in the knees, or excessively after the ball was released.

i still remember that bullshit fujita pulled on steve smith a few years back, taking him out from behind at his knees after the play was over. that was a dick move.

I hated the Saints with a deep passion before watching this game. Williams' comments about Smitty earlier this year and the way they blatantly cheap-shotted Favre all game just compounds my hatred. The Saints are absolutely pathetic. The Vikings turned the ball over FIVE TIMES and they STILL needed help from the refs to win.

the Saints will get demolished in the super bowl.

i counted at least three late hits where the ball was long gone, the fake where favre handed it off on a bootleg and got plowed a good two seconds after that, the one where he got picked up and bodyslammed after the ball was gone (that one at least got called) and the cheap shot to the knees.

fug the saints.

f**k the saints.

This, fug The Saints and fug Goodell.

Any Saints fan that actually believe they won a fair game should get their fuging head examined.

Guys...is the NFL rigged?

No.

Also:

I hate Joe Buck. He states things like they are the utter truth and fact. There was one spot on the field at some point in the game where he acted like he knew for certain what it was supposed to be, and when viewing the video, you could tell he was dead wrong.

i have a feeling manning will kick their azz for us. it seems like they've played in that super dome all year.

There is NO doubt in my mind that they sent guys one-second late for the sole purpose of hitting Favre the second he threw the ball. Not to go after the ball, not to sack him, no...to pound him into the ground as soon as he threw it.

I have NO CLUE why the Vikes protection went to poo. The Colts supposedly have great protection. After seeing this cheap crap let's hope the Colts gameplan properly.

Get over it. It's football.

Get over it. It's football.

While that's true and those hits might have been legal, it's still not cool.

You meet douches every day in your day-to-day lives; you don't like them but they aren't breaking any laws or rules, yet they are still douches.

What do you want them to do? Gently pat the opposing QB and congratulate him on a good pass?

It's football. Hitting the QB to rattle him is as old as the sport itself. Settle down Francis.
