“Well, I know it’s football, but the Saints were—to my mind—coached to hurt Favre, even if it occasionally could cost them 15 yards (which it didn’t).”
Well, some might say that was ‘karma’ (if you believe in that sorta thing), after the way the Vikes went after Roma the week before. (I still rooted for the Vikes over the Saints - just wished it would have been the Cowboys vs Saints, LOL.)
It's a dead horse, but the Vikings didn't go after Romo to hurt him. They just put a solid pass rush on him. The talk after the Vikings/Saints game was that the Saints had a different idea in mind regarding Favre. Enjoy the game.
Yes...the Vikes did what you say, but IIRC, they didn’t late hit or pile-drive Romo into the ground as the Saints did against the Vikes.
