Did the Saints win it, or did the Vikings lose it?

You're correct. The St. Louis kicker missed his FG first...I think. If that's the case, then they lost it. If Kasay missed his first then we won it. I forget which happened though.

I can't remember either, to be honest.

My point is this: the better team usually wins the game. It doesn't matter if one team "lost the game" due to turnovers or poor mistakes; that's why they lost, and that's why the better team -- the team that didn't make as many costly mistakes -- won the game.

While I agree with you, Carolina may never have made it to the Super Bowl were that the case.

Ah, but St. Louis lost that game -- the Panthers didn't win it.

If you remember Carolina and SL played a scoreless 1st OT

Carolina scored in the 2nd OT

Both teams had plenty of chances to win.

The Vikes lost it by the way.

I realize that.

All I'm saying is that if you're going to find fault with the current overtime rules (and I'm of the opinion they should be changed as well), then you can't propose a change in the rules for some situations but not others. So in this case, it would be unfair to say that a team should have a chance to match another team's score, unless they've both gone through an overtime period and "had chances."

This discussion is comical, because we're talking about overtime when both teams had the four quarters before overtime to win the game as well.

The Saints needed 6 Minny turnovers just to stay competitive, so the Vikings definately gave this one away. Deangelo and Stewart are both > Peterson.

maybe a bit of both

It was a damn shame watching them kick the cane out from under that old man.

Saint, where is my Old Tyme Poboy? Large fried shrimp.....mmmmm

6 turnovers and the saints barely squeak by on some questionable calls in OT. Vikings lost it for sure.

[carolinanimal]

i still dont understand if you are supposed to be the best team evahz, and another team gives you 6 to, how you only beat them by 3?

[carpanfan96]

The vikings turned the ball over 6 times, they lost it. 2 for farve and 2 for AP, it's why AP hasn't been the best back in the league the last few years. You can't be a great RB and fumble as much as he does. 20 fumbles in 3 seasons doesn't make a back great. Good game to the saints though, the defense stepped up when it counted.

To all the people that like to point out that the Saints caused the fumbles and intercepted the passes...great...that's the D's job. It's NOT, however, the RB's job to fumble and not Favre's job to throw an INT.

The Vikes gave the win to the Saints.
