Favre played the toughest game I've ever seen him play, he was in so much pain and the team just kept giving up the ball.

It possibly could of been overturned; could of went either way thats how close it was. Thing is the call on the field. There has to be undisputable proof to overturn a call. Maybe wanting the Vikings to win clouded your eyes, but there was not UNDISPUTED proof so the ruling stands.
Pass interference was an iffy call at BEST, but then again there were plenty of bs calls against the Saints. If one can't agree with that statement then any discussion of the game is pointless with him.
And the ball that hit the ground that called a catch, there are 2 comments I have on this. For one, he had full possession prior to going to the ground and there was no contact so the ball was allowed to hit the ground. Lastly, I'm not even convinced that the ball DID hit the ground. I believe his fingers were under it.
Either way the Saints won, and that isn't going to change. I'm a Colts fan, so there is no bias in my opinion. The difference in the game was not the calls, the refs, or anything other then the game being played. The Saints defense forced many turnovers. And I say that again, FORCED turnovers. If a player is going to make a play on the ball and causes a fumble, that is just good defense and fair play. The Vikings didn't simply just "drop" the ball, the fumbles were forced. The interception Brett threw was his fault. Stupid decision on his part and that is what lost them the game. They had a chance to win it, despite the butterfingers they played with. Usually the Saints offense is what wins them the game, it just happens that their defense was the reason they won this one.
