re: devastating NFC championship game loss at New Orleans
I would hardly call a three point loss in overtime, after losing a pretty sure shot at a game winning filed goal to a silly penalty, a ‘devastating’ loss. Devastating to me means getting your ass kicked from one end of the field to the other. Winning that game was well within the reach of the Vikings. Like the ref said, it was a new game and anybody’s to win.
As an aside I don’t like seeing a sudden death situation in the OT for a championship game. It’s not a big thing with me, but I think I would prefer to see both teams have a shot at it by virtue of more than the coin toss. Just a minor observation.
My hat’s off to both teams, and especially Favre. That was one hell of game, just the sort of thing you hope for in a playoff or championship game.

I hear ya. No sweat off my brow. I been thru 4 SB losses.
If the NFL wanted to do better, it wouldn’t base the outcome of important games on a coin flip.
Both games delivered as billed.
