PrintOr...43 years and all I got was this lousy NFC Championship
Ladies and gentlemen...it is my duty, my privilege, and my honor to announce to you that THE SAINTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!
Okay, that wasn't very inventive. Normally, you expect better of your CSC writers. So, what would you like to hear instead? Cogent analysis? Biting wit? Perhaps some topical references, or quotes from obscure songs of the 70s?
Screw dat. I say again...
THE SAINTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!
I had a lot of bullets prepared, but to hell with it. Dave, I hope you're not too disappointed, although I don't see how you could be on a night like this. Personally, I feel as though I fought this whole game myself...I am exhausted, drained, and have several pulled muscles. When Hartley's kick sailed high and right down the middle (wasn't that just the sweetest kick you ever saw?), I hugged my wife so hard I nearly broke her glasses. Besides...I don't have any better insights into what this means than anyone else who has dreamed of this since All Saints Day 1966, who used to pretend he was Danny Abramowicz catching sideline patterns, whose heart broke in 2006 but came back to life because when you're a Saints fan, the hope in you keeps you going long after fried oysters and Abita beer wears off. You all know how this feels, and what it means. So soak in the moment. In two more weeks, report back here to celebrate one more time. That's an order.
WHO DAT!
The floor is now open for discussion...

Come to Dubai, no need for valium then….
Will take you up higher than possible anywhere else…
Course think you will have that in any case….
No need for a view of the game from Burj Khalifa….
You will see just fine I am sure, even if is from the floor of wherever you happen to be….
Kinda like me at the moment, down looking up….not a bad view from here….
New season coming, and I get to watch you guys kick the Colt’s butts between now and then!

Kudos on the win, I was rooting for you guys today, and I’ll be rooting for you again in the Super Bowl.
I did think it was weird that McCray had hits on Warner and Favre in the last two games that could make them want to go into retirement.

And I wouldn’t bother to go over to say :Good Game to the Vikes" This is what I got when I went over there to wish them well be a good sport etc…
I can’t stand it
I just can’t. Once again the Vikings DOMINATE the entire game and fumble their way to loserville. The absolute garbage ref calls at the end didn’t help. The better team did not win tonight. Plain and simple. I hope the Saints plane crashes on the way to Miami. Seriously

It's too soon.....
It’s jsut too soon to have a good comment from the Viking fans. That was a HELL of a game! It was just too emotional for them to have a favorable comment for us. Had that game gone the other way, I wouldn’t, hell I couldn’t be a good sportsman yet. Let’s face it, they dominated our offense, less than 260 yards! If I told you that before the game there is no way that you would have thought that we would win. Defense definitely won it for us. The last time we had 5 turnovers in the NFC Championship game and got ass kicked.
Give them a few days and sure that they will come around.
DAMN! IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A SAINTS FAN!

You know, you’re part right. The emotional situation definitely makes you say and think things that you wouldn’t in a calmer moment.
But I’ll admit, I am curious about what the “garbage ref calls” at the end were. And I wonder if, once he calms down, he might be willing to admit that even if they actually were garbage, if they might have only made up for some garbage calls that went their way earlier on.
Probably not. But a truly mature individual should.
Uhh, these calls. Found that via Gambit. Seriously, NYTimes?

As soon as forward progress is stopped, the ball can be called dead at that point. Regardless of the “fumble”… which replays on TV clearly showed actually didn’t happen… the ball just moved and then was re-gripped and control regained while he was still in the air and before he was driven backwards. So that one is garbage.
The “non” catch, bull crap. He had the ball cradled between his hand and his leg. The fact that the ball partially touches the ground in no way alters that and I have pretty much zero doubt Mike Pierra will give Rich Eisen a full run down of why that complaint is baloney if this continues to be debated. Now had the original call on the field been incomplete pass there might not have been enough evidence in replay to overturn to a catch, but there wasn’t indisputable (key word) evidence to overturn an on-the-field call of a completion.
As for the pass interference, from the site in TV interviews it looks like great acting, certainly at least to a biased Viking fan. I’m not really sure on that one. But from behind the player, which was the only angle the ref had to view (key point), the call would look exactly correct. From that angle it looked like the defender tackled Thomas while the ball was in the air. And so if the call was truly wrong, it was an honest mistake.
there were bad calls made in that game (i am sure they went both ways)

What an *ss
I watched the game over here with a DIE HARD Vikings fan. We were both high strung and shaking throughout the entire game. I’m completely exhausted after having watched that.
At the end of the game though, he was the first to say that there were bad or controversial calls on both sides and that the refs made the right calls at the end of the game. There wasn’t enough evidence to support overruling Meachum’s catch and had a Saint defender hit a Viking receiver like that, Vikings fans wouldn’t be arguing the interference call.
Bottom line is everyone thinks their team is the best and that they lose the game rather than the other team wins it.
"The key to them winning is to limit their quarterback to under 20 throws a game." -Cris Carter
why no call on Farve getting hit below the knees by 2 guys
I call bullshit
It was getting hit below the knees by one guy . . .
"The key to them winning is to limit their quarterback to under 20 throws a game." -Cris Carter
and the rule states specifically that it is an unobstructed and unnecessary hit to the knees or below.
Generally this is called on plays where the quarterback has obviously released the ball and the defense is simply trying to hit the quarterback. That’s not the case here. The Saints player was already on the ground and trying to make a tackle. The rule isn’t designed to keep a defender from making a tackle on the quarterback at all. How retarded is that? A defender is laying on the ground and has to let the quarterback stand and throw in the pocket unless he can get up and hit him above the knees? That’s retarded. Favre still had the ball and was in the process of throwing, he lunged to make the sack and hit him BEHIND the knees. Had Favre pumped like he’s done 80 Billion times in his career, we wouldn’t be having this argument. The hit was legal as were pretty much all of the other ones. If Jared Allen or anyone else on the Vikings squad had a shot at hitting Brees, they’d have crushed him every chance they got, which was at least 4 times in the game officially (Probably considerably more unofficially).
Furthermore, you can’t rough the passer on a rushing play! Favre got hit because he got in the way of a defender during a run. I supposed McCray should just stand there or run around the Quarterback entirely to avoid any contact with him whatsoever? Please. After every single one of those hits where Favre was pretending to be dying, he went back to the huddle smiling after the penalty was thrown. It was total BS. I don’t want to hear anymore crap about refs favoring the Saints.
The fact is, your team couldn’t have been the better one on the field. Better teams don’t lay the ball on the carpet 5 times and throw two picks in a Championship game. Better teams don’t get a penalty for 12 men in the huddle when they’re within field goal range for a game winner. Better teams don’t throw the ball on the last offensive play of the game when they have a kicker that can already reach the uprights from that distance. The BETTER team won. It isn’t a testament to the Vikings squad that they were still in the game, they were LUCKY that the number one offense in football wasn’t destroying them the entire night. It was BOTH offenses that almost lost their team the game. One due to turnovers, the other due to lack of converting 3rd downs. PERIOD!

We can talk about the poor officiating all we want.
What about the bogus interference call on Porter?
What about the bogus personal foul calls on the Saints after tossing Favre down again and again?
What about the bogus no-call on the hands-to-the-face of Drew?
What about the bogus no-call of the personal foul/helmet-to-helmet a defender laid on Pierre?
We can go back and forth, and we can all admit that the officiating was horrible. Could it have been better? Yes? Did the officiating cost the Vikings the game? No, five turnovers did.
If the Saints had scored on two of those, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

Those events didn't happen..
There were FURTHER missed calls than those highlighted. They went low on Favre on the first interception, an obvious call missed that would have nullified it. There was a facemask on one of the fumbles that would have nullified that.
Do you mean the interference against Berrian in the end zone? That WAS interference. He mugged him.
But Hargrove being called for personal foul? Bogus. And the call against Casillas when Reynaud muffed the punt? Bogus and stupid…what were they doing blowing the whistle?
But it worked both ways. Pierre Thomas wasn’t even close. Then again, I’m not so sure Adrian Peterson was in, either…it’s just that the replay couldn’t show conclusive proof either way.
Morelli is a hack, and so is his entire crew.

They could have. But I’ve watched the replays now. The ball actually does either break the plane or come within a millimeter or two of it right at the moment his knees touch the ground. If they won the replay at all, the ball would have been on the one millimeter line. Considering it would have only been second down, I’m pretty sure we could have punched it in from there.
exactly

Favre on the ground, Favre on the ground, Vikes done and lost with Favre on the ground. I am happy for both the Saints and Colts. Class epitomized in Drew Brees and Peyton Manning.

"I do know that we have some unfinished business that we started a few years ago and we want to finish the deal."- Dulymus McAllister
Are you serious?
Our defense is number one in the league in takeaways. Ya’ll were just victims of it. How about Brees having a horrible game missing wide open receivers? Or muffing a third and short snap? You didn’t dominate anything but total yards. Your team should’ve recognized they needed to protect the ball better when playing a ball-hawking defense. Had they been more careful, they likely wouldn’t have gotten as many yards. AP and Favre are both risk takers who go for the homerun early and often. Today they paid for it. Don’t take away from a good game and good play, because you are a poor sport.

Congrats Saints and Fans....
I posted this on the DN site, but applies here as well:
Give it to the Saints, they won….and are a good team that will now hopefully take it the Colts in the Super Bowl….I wish them this and will back them/watch with anticipation!
The Vikes will be back another year (like next year is what I am talking), and on reflection, any team that has turnovers like we had normally does not win a game….
On the other side they (Vikes) kept it close to the and no matter what we say about the ref calls at the end, we should not have been in this position (again turnovers)…
So we (Vikes) pick ourselves up and move on, looking forward to the next set of battles next year…..We learn from this one, and do better….
It is not the end of the world, just the end of a remarkable season, in spite of this L. I for one am proud overall of what the Vikings did this year….
Our archenemies Packers were soundly beat two times, left the playoff scene in the first round, and the Bears – well wahhhhhhh is all I can say about their season…
Hold your heads up Viking fans, we did make mistakes today, but we were in the game in spite of them the whole way, and will return….
SKOL VIKINGS
and
GEAUX SAINTS and beat those Colts for your first SB win….
NOTE: We will get ours next year….We have the talent to continue to improve as a team and do this…….Let the Fottball Gods allow the Saints to get/earn theirs this year!

you could replace Vikes with Saints and that is how we would feel

Brees gonna throw down the Saints... Wide open Devery Henderson! Nobody's within twenty yards of him! He could do the backstroke into the end zone from there! And he'll take it in for a seventy-five yard touchdown strike!

Forget the nickel and dime, you'd better bring a half- dollar to deal with this team.--Tony Moss, NFL editor
The tears on my keyboard bespeak the joy in my heart
I was in tears as that kick sailed through, as I’m sure many of you were. This was easily the best game in Saints history. I know some Vikings fans are pissed about some calls they think they should or should not have gotten, but those are the breaks. I could point to several bad calls that didn’t go the Saints’ way too. All those in attendance should be proud of themselves because the 12th man played a key role in getting this win. I’m proud of how Saints fans kept pouring on the noise at all times Favre was on the field. I also love how eerily silent they were when Brees was on the field. Awesome game that will be remembered for years.
WHO DAT!? WE"RE GOING TO THE FREAKIN’ SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…and you know we’ll be the undisputed underdogs against the Colts. We couldn’t be in a better position right now. I just hope Roby is OK.
WE DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

such a strange way to win....
watching the Offense choke the fourth quarter away with Drew clearly rattled by the Vikes front four, meanwhile our beleaguered defense makes play after play after play.
Going to enjoy this one for a while before thinking too much about the THIRD straight Hall-of-Fame QB we have to play next…
save those tears for the Saints hall of fame...

When Hartley made that kick, we shared the most special hug of my life. We just hugged and cried together.
I will never forget this night.

HONEY, I'M HOOOOOME.
Got back home at 2:10PM (11:10PM New Orleans time). Spent the day inspecting and dashing from Snack Bar to Food Court to Snack Bar to Food Court (the ones with on-base cable TV of course) and only caught snippets of the game. Fortunately I DID see McCray smack the holy-living-crap out of grandpa Brett. Hell, the TV almost fell off the mount!
I got home and Just ’Nother Dog was puckered so much he had a fire hydrant stuck up his butt. Guess he took a quick pee break during a timeout.
I’ve been reading posts since I got home and see where many of our loyal Saints Fans were, or had been, crying. I heard the final score on the radio while I was speeding home. Didn’t have any real “choked up” moments. The coup de grace was when I logged on to CSC and was scanning the 2nd half live stream. It seems that while the game was still going on there were people wondering and discussing wether “JND” had found a way to be watching the game. Got to tell ya’, folks, that’s when I teared up. (As is happening right now.) It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this close to so many people. I just mainly type BS drivel on this blog but my heart is exactly where every one of yours is. Right there with the Team, the City, and the Citizens of the most fantastic home anybody could ever miss.
God bless the New Orleans Saints and every one of you for being who you are!

Saints in da Superbowl
Just say it and listen to it. Sounds awesome!!!!!! Lets enjoy it tonight!!!!!!!!!! and get ready for the next one boys!!!!!!
wow....
i’m sorry to say it, but i can’t (or won’t. ever.) congratulate you guys on this one. this feels too much like the non-call for pearson’s interference decades ago. as i said earlier, seeing (and hearing) people in the dome and on CSC cheering the non-call for the (obvious) brady rule infraction earlier (and even more recently) disappointed me, cuz i’d heard you guys were pretty classy, but that just made me shake my head. i will, however, say that brees and bush did one hell of a job, but… you didn’t earn it. you guys won’t have the same luck against indy you had against us. say what you want about the refs trying to give the vikings the game, but if you watch (like i have been, repeatedly, to make sure my eyes aren’t deceiving me) closely enough, you can tell the saints were being favored by the refs. too many generous spots given, not enough penalties called when they needed to be, the wrong penalties called, us not being able to hold onto the ball…
don’t get me wrong, i know the saints are gonna try their hardest in 2 weeks, but their luck will run out. they got a big enough share of it against us. i just hope we get another chance to play next season, cuz the vikings will pay it back in spades.
the worst part is, i cheered for you guys a lot earlier this season. now after watching how the saints (and vikings) played, i just feel sick, but i know that in 2 weeks i’ll be feeling a heck of a lot better, cheering for the colts for the first time in my life
"You are freaking out. Man."
By the power of Allen's Mullet!
wow is right
Your classiness is without equal.
I love how so many Vikings fans come over here and give BS congratulations to us followed by their team supposedly “giving” the game away.
News flash — Giving the game away is commiting unforced errors (See Reggie Bush’s muffed punt). Every one of the fumbles, sans the mishandled handoff between Favre and AP, was a stripped ball. That means that the Saints Defense made great plays and WON the game for their team.
"The key to them winning is to limit their quarterback to under 20 throws a game." -Cris Carter
Even the missed handoff
was due to farve’s injured ankle not allowing him to stretch to the correct spot

Glad you have your name on it Haywood
nice to know who is the most classless in Minnesota. To come on OUR blog and do anything but congratulate us show how small of a person you are. You should have just stayed on your blog and cried in your beer. Oh, and I like all your talk about the refs and then you say “and us not being able to hold onto the ball.” Maybe that’s the big story, DON"T TURN IT OVER.
