yea 70s era dirty hits, disgusting, it's also why more and more younger players leave, it's not worth the head trauma and also you make more in baseball and it's far safer then having some asshole try to break your head or leg
Why do you even ponder passing!?!?!?! I mean you can take a knee!!! And try a 56 yard field goal!!!! THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN, THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!!
Daniel Crane: For years I thought Favre's throw in this game was the worst choke in NFL history......until Matt Ryan took a sack in Superbowl 51 which took the Falcons out of FG range. And yes, I agree with you. I think Longwell could have made a 56 yarder.
Honestly the decision to not run the ball with Adrian Peterson here to set up a game winning field goal should get just as much heat as the Seahawks not running Marshawn Lynch at the 1 yard line.
@Adi Kancharla It would've been Ryan Longwell kicking in an indoor stadium. Regardless, even if he missed It would've been nice to at least give him the chance.
And have him fumble again? Nah. Favre was also concussed at this point 10 times over so this was instinct. Gregg Williams is still a piece of shit for the bounty gate.
What everyone remembers about this game is the 2nd Favre INT, but he was incredible in this game. Some of the throws were simply remarkable. That Viks offense was supposed to be built around the run game with Favre as supporting cast. But he was the reason they had a shot at winning this game. If the NFL had college OT rules, Favre and the Vikings might have a super bowl title.
dude was the ironman of nfl, i dont give a shit about his off field stuff, he is a legend and rodgers isn't half the qb he was, favre won and was a gunslinger, rodgers is an overpaid bitch, even brady says nice mvps son *shows rings* these are what counts and I got 7 *brady wink*
After this game they ruled that in OT you couldnt win by a field goal anymore the other team gets a chance to score, it could only win on a touchdown or safety the vikings voted NO on the proposed rule but it passed anyway because of majority teams. They later added it to regular games. and now it was extended due to the high scoring game with Buffalo and Kansas City.
98 game the Vikings had the lead most of the game but Atlanta made a comeback and won the game in overtime. 98 Vikings was arguably the most talented in Vikings history to finally win one.
@@AJ_savage16 I just had more confidence in Favre than Randall Cunningham that's it. That '98 team was so dominant because of that O-line. Go back and watch some clips from that year. Cuningham had all day to throw.
They got beat up on the defensive side in the '98 game and could have easily posted a fifth SB loss had they faced Denver. If they ever should win another NFC championship, I pray that they'd face all backups in the SB because a bunch of pissed away opportunities in conference championships still hurts a lot less than 0-5.
Adrian Peterson flew under the radar as a fumbler. His great plays overshadowed a career of consistent fumbling. I'll never forget the play where Clay Matthews ripped the ball out of his hands and ran it back for a score. Peterson laid there acting injured to cover up the fact that someone literally ripped the ball from his arms out of pure strength. The man was a great RB, but he was a damn fumbler - this game alone proves the point, but it was time and time again for this guy.
That interception gets talked about a lot but what about all those fumbles? Twice in the redzone they cough it up. Then the Percy fumble puts the Saints offense right on the Vikings goaline.

So many fumbles. I still to this day have no clue how Adrian Peterson got back on that ball at 7:10 . He was on his knee and there were 4 or 5 black jerseys around the ball and he was the first guy on it. That was some hustle and a half there.
@@SlippingintoFiction 122 yards and 3 TD but he fucked the Vikings? 3 fumbles were lost in this game none of them were Peterson's. Farve fumble the hand off in the redzon that his fault not AP and Percy Harvin lost that fumble that put the saints in scoring range and bernard Barrian fumbled in redzone. what game are you watching LOL Farve int in the last minute was one of the dumbest passes i've seen and inexcusable especially a vet like Favre.
The int at the end is what people remember but before end of half a missed handoff inside the saints 5, then late in the third Favre throws a int at the 30, then harvin fumbles at their own 10, and then Berrian fumbled inside the saints 15. With 3 of those turnovers inside the 30 and 1 inside Their own 10 is the Vikings don’t lose one of those turnovers it doesn’t take OT that’s not counting AP and harvins fumbles that were recovered by Vikings
coreyandy5 and also if the refs call it right the vikes get the ball in OT. but yeah. A terrible combination of dirty play, bad officiating, and the Vikings shooting themselves in the foot lead to to the misery of this game.
You think the refs called it that way on accident. They all but outright rooted for NO because of the hurricane that year. They did everything they could to put NO in positions to win that season.
Only because his interception was the last one. But yeah, eliminate just a couple of those and the Vikings maybe win. I really wanted to see Favre get a 2nd ring and in a vikings uniform, it would've been sweet...
People will blame Favre for his terrible interception at the end, but holy crap did you see all those missed opportunities due to fumbles!? Like 3 lost Viking fumbles this game including the one that would've gotten them AT LEAST 3 points before the end of the half.
Nah, it was our time to go to the Super Bowl at least one time bc we have always got the most heat and were always the joke of the nfl. And we knew we most likely wouldn’t be allowed to go again in the future. The 2018 game against the rams was pure evidence of that. Plus, every saints player played like hell in 2009.

Adrian Peterson cost the Vikings the game, not Brett Favre. Peterson fumbled 3 times including on the goal line which absolutely cost the Vikings 7 points. Another one of Petersons fumbles gave the Saint's a short field inside the red zone and they scored 2 plays later. Favre's late interception should have never even been a factor. Adrian Peterson fucked the Vikings.
@@SlippingintoFiction even with the fumbles we still had a chance to win the game in regulation with a field goal, Favre should've ran or threw the ball out of bounds
These bountygate hits would definitely be flags in today's NFL... hell some of them actually were flags in this game. Also the fact that the Vikings almost won despite fumbling constantly, despite playing in the Superdome, and despite the bounties... that's pretty impressive.
Farve played one helluva game. Despite the boneheaded int and me being a Saints fan. This was my favorite Farve performance throughout his whole career
The non-calls in that game were like watching old-school professional wrestling refs who's always have their backs turned while the bad guy raked a dude's eyes or did some other nefarious shit. What made me sick was not once did any of their O-linemen step up to defend their QB and pop a dude in the mouth after the whistle.
Even if Favre had pulled it down & ran for 5-6 yards, Longwell's FG would've been blocked & returned for a TD to end the game. The Vikings are not allowed to get to a Super Bowl ever again. Either they get blown out or a bunch of weird things happen & they lose a close one.
That was my first season watching and playing football in germany. No one was talking about football and it was not that popular than it is nowadays. You didn't even found german news in google.

Feb 7th 2010 34 - 17. who dat baby. fucking who dat
I'm curious who your dad's favorite Saint of all time is? Archie Manning would be the obvious choice. But maybe he was a Tony Galbreath kind of guy? :)
i feel so bad for farve, cause he was getting targeted all game cause of bounty gate, and idk if any other vikings player were, but farve went through a beating
Coach: Ok, Farve. The only thing you have to do is not throw across your body across the middle and we're golden. Farve: _Oh hell yeah coach imma throw it across the middle_ Coach: No. Farve. Listen. DON'T THROW across the middle Farve: _well doggunnit peach pie lizard boots if I gotta man open imma hit him like a cheap date_ Farve: *Throws pass across body across the middle of field and intercepted* Farve: _We'll dagnabit coach he musta been wearin camo out there cuznididnt see a goddangit defender_
I would have pulled him as coach because they were trying to kill him, goodell would have been called a useless white prick by me the next day and Id call owners saying u bastards are ok with this game, they clearly weren't as goodell was told clean it up and end it, and he did
Diehard Packers fan I told a good friend of mines who was a Vikings fan that Brett Favre when the game is close that he would throw some stupid pass that would cost y’all the game like he did to the packers in the 07 NFC championship game and looked what happened
@@Cadolots I simply looked up these highlights since my team sucks this year, and here you are screaming “bounty gate! refs!” Peyton Manning would’ve wiped the floor with yall anyway
Madden got Favre’s throwing form wrong. He puts his whole body into it. Wish they mastered it. Matt Hassellbacks looks more like Favre’s. Madden 25 and when he chucks it one shoulder is lowered and his arm has a wide swing.
As opposed to the Saints who were cursed by an actual Voodoo witch for deciding on the name The Saints over the New Orleans Voodoo? At least that's the legend.
He beat your a** that yr twice. His ankle was messed up or would’ve ran. If Vick doesn’t have the miracle comeback against the giants Rodgers has 0 rings. As a 9ers fan I hate the packers and am glad we play Rodgers instead of favre. Favre dominated us. We own Rodgers. And we love Joe Montana and as fans like him more than young. Packers fans abandon the guy that brought them back to relevance for mr. Rodgers
@@joeheasley8046 Here here Joe. Bet he wasn't laughing when Favre beat em twice and took the Vikings to the NFC championship game. Oh yeah, how many SB appearances for Karen Rodgers? I'll bet Favre is laughing his ass off at Mr. Benson. You know Rodgers didn't want to beat Detroit this past week because he knew a major beat down was on the way in SF. Frisco was licking their chops at the thought of Mr. Fraudgers coming to town.
The Vikings actually played the better game. If they didn't make so many bone-head mistakes (like the fumbles or that 12-man penalty), they probably convincingly win the game.
or you know the refs could have not been in favor and actually call the obvious penalties... these were penalties in that game and today.. no difference
All the way through, the vikings capitalized in every stat, but the 5 turnovers hurt them. Vikings were at the 35 of the saints and with under a minute and they intercepted the pass... it was THAT close....the Vikings were almost superbowl bound.
dude got 1 ring because the city of new orleans post flood was given a championship but thank you so much for beating peyton manning-tom brady *evil grin*
Its an absolute crime that the main thing people most people remember about this game is Favre's INT at the end. Favre took dirty hit after dirty hit all game while his teammates were fumbling all over the place. For the first 59.5 minutes he was the best player on the field at 40 years old and the only reason the Vikings were even in the game. But he made one bad play at a crucial moment, so everything else gets lost to time.
Brett Favre was like Mankind in a WWE hardcore match this game. Saints defense annihilated him. Definitely Favre is and will always be the toughest QB of all time
When you watch this, do not forget that Greg Williams was doubtlessly going full bounty-gate as well. He was caught with the 49ers in 2011, but it was obvious here as well.
Dude, fuck that. Favre took some regular hits that all quarterbacks take. And incentives to hit people are not unique to Williams. It's commonplace all over the NFL and college.
The Vikings had multiple chances to win the game but blew it. Adrian Peterson fumbling a million times, Favre throwing the worst interception of his career, and some "pass interference" calls in overtime.

Throw in their SB games from the 70's and it gets worse
@@TheBrett04 Nah he's right. Vikings NFC Title losses have been more crushing than even their Super Bowl losses. 1998 loss to the Falcons after a 15 - 1 season. 2000 NFC Title Game they get absolutely destroyed by the Giants 41 - 0. Then this game here in 2009, then of coarse the Eagles leveled them 38 - 7 in 2017. 😂

They were that much better of a team. Dirty hits and the refs.

So many fumbles. I still to this day have no clue how Adrian Peterson got back on that ball at 7:10 . He was on his knee and there were 4 or 5 black jerseys around the ball and he was the first guy on it. That was some hustle and a half there.
lol ok. enjoy. the most famous landmark game on your guys way to cheat your way to the superbowl.. not to mention the refs were on your side all game
WHAT IN THE FAHHHhh u mad?
@@whatinthefahhhhh5532 u mad bro?
@@SlippingintoFiction 122 yards and 3 TD but he fucked the Vikings? 3 fumbles were lost in this game none of them were Peterson's. Farve fumble the hand off in the redzon that his fault not AP and Percy Harvin lost that fumble that put the saints in scoring range and bernard Barrian fumbled in redzone. what game are you watching LOL Farve int in the last minute was one of the dumbest passes i've seen and inexcusable especially a vet like Favre.
@user-fg4cj1vd4h no the Farve screw up the hand off not AP. he wasn't responsible for a single turnover in that game
The int at the end is what people remember but before end of half a missed handoff inside the saints 5, then late in the third Favre throws a int at the 30, then harvin fumbles at their own 10, and then Berrian fumbled inside the saints 15. With 3 of those turnovers inside the 30 and 1 inside Their own 10 is the Vikings don’t lose one of those turnovers it doesn’t take OT that’s not counting AP and harvins fumbles that were recovered by Vikings
coreyandy5 and also if the refs call it right the vikes get the ball in OT. but yeah. A terrible combination of dirty play, bad officiating, and the Vikings shooting themselves in the foot lead to to the misery of this game.
You think the refs called it that way on accident. They all but outright rooted for NO because of the hurricane that year. They did everything they could to put NO in positions to win that season.
sam dorsa That hurricane 4 years prior. The Viks had too many turnovers to over come. Maybe you should watch the game again.
Awesome. Thank you so much! One of the craziest games I ever watched.
Vikings just gave away that game to Saints with 5 turn overs. I remember this like it was yesterday...
Turned it over like 7 times yet everyone talks about Favre
Only because his interception was the last one. But yeah, eliminate just a couple of those and the Vikings maybe win. I really wanted to see Favre get a 2nd ring and in a vikings uniform, it would've been sweet...
I mean it was a boneheaded decision still . He’s done that his whole career
Are we not gonna talk about Pierre Thomas? He was basically carrying the Saints offense all game long.
Yes Farve made a crucial mistake, but people are forgetting he took some savage hits. He wasn't in peak mental/physical shape
He was throwing interceptions his whole career 😂
Most underrated championship game
Man rewatching this game I feel like it was more on Peterson than farve. That many fumbles is inexcusable.
3 tds and 3 fumbles and he can do that all day long
Watching this game in 2024 this was DEFINITELY a bounty game‼️
I don't think so. The Vikings O line did not protect Farve!Saints defense just was too much for them .😮
People will blame Favre for his terrible interception at the end, but holy crap did you see all those missed opportunities due to fumbles!? Like 3 lost Viking fumbles this game including the one that would've gotten them AT LEAST 3 points before the end of the half.
That was a classic game for both teams
David and Pierre Thomas were some underrated great players.
The two Saints mascots embracing as the kick goes through.
Brett Favre was a warrior in this game man...he just took a beating and kept going
Pierre Thomas was a monster in the playoffs.
I wanted Favre to win this game so bad. Dude was such a gamer.
Nah, it was our time to go to the Super Bowl at least one time bc we have always got the most heat and were always the joke of the nfl. And we knew we most likely wouldn’t be allowed to go again in the future. The 2018 game against the rams was pure evidence of that. Plus, every saints player played like hell in 2009. We deserved 2009 to be our year
@@jakeh6980yea all those bounties, definitely deserved it
@@HahaHaha-fu6vk14 years ago and you’re still mad lmao. “Bounties” don’t make a team turn the ball over 5 times.
@@TxPasta I'm just saying if we're talking about teams in a more emotional / "deserved it" sense i don't think the team playing dirty ball is all that deserving of a superbowl no? I'm not saying it wasn't an amazing and talented team, just saying any narratives about deserving to go to the superbowl are BS if your team is putting hits out on players and trying to injure ppl.
I can watch these highlights over and over. WHO DAT!?
Favre proved he was the toughest man in the whole world even tho I’m a saints fan .. playing in a broken ankle .. the pain must have been awful!
Yeah I don’t think his ankle was “broken”.
If the saints recovered all those Vikings fumbles this game wouldn’t even be close.
Minh Nguyen saints fumbled twice as well and somehow magically recovered them both too ya know
Ethan Leicester no they didn’t bush muffed the punt went to the Vikings
If the Saints weren’t a bunch of cheating assholes they wouldn’t have been there at all.
If the Vikings weren't fumbling to begin with, then this game wouldn't even be close. *shrug*

Vikings are the most cursed franchise in NFL history I was hoping this would have been their moment, but turnovers killed it for them. Hopefully someday you Vikings fans will win the big one
As a packers fan I would have smashed my damn television I think favre going to the vikings just sealed me hating the vikings more than I use too use to b the bears now its them.
what killed us this game is looking back and wondering why the refs never called the obvious intentional hits on favre
Joker
Bills? 4 straight super bowl loses
Field goal gives me goosebumps everytime.
Seconds away from getting back to the super bowl. Favre should've ran out of bounds damn
Adrian Peterson cost the Vikings the game, not Brett Favre. Peterson fumbled 3 times including on the goal line which absolutely cost the Vikings 7 points. Another one of Petersons fumbles gave the Saint's a short field inside the red zone and they scored 2 plays later. Favre's late interception should have never even been a factor. Adrian Peterson fucked the Vikings.
@@SlippingintoFiction even with the fumbles we still had a chance to win the game in regulation with a field goal, Favre should've ran or threw the ball out of bounds
These bountygate hits would definitely be flags in today's NFL... hell some of them actually were flags in this game. Also the fact that the Vikings almost won despite fumbling constantly, despite playing in the Superdome, and despite the bounties... that's pretty impressive.
Farve played one helluva game. Despite the boneheaded int and me being a Saints fan. This was my favorite Farve performance throughout his whole career
fuking cheaters. what happened in 17' wasn't enough. robbed
35K in FINES for the no-flag Favre hit.
The non-calls in that game were like watching old-school professional wrestling refs who's always have their backs turned while the bad guy raked a dude's eyes or did some other nefarious shit. What made me sick was not once did any of their O-linemen step up to defend their QB and pop a dude in the mouth after the whistle.

The good ol Bounty Bowl
This was one of the more memorable games of my lifetime watching football.
Even if Favre had pulled it down & ran for 5-6 yards, Longwell's FG would've been blocked & returned for a TD to end the game. The Vikings are not allowed to get to a Super Bowl ever again. Either they get blown out or a bunch of weird things happen & they lose a close one.
Is no one going to talk about the amount of fumbles this game?? I’ve never seen anything like it
As a Saints fan, we cheat the Vikings out of a superbowl, Rams cheat us out of a Super Bowl years later, it’s only fair..
How?
@ saints bounty gate 2010 against Vikings in NFC championship
That was my first season watching and playing football in germany. No one was talking about football and it was not that popular than it is nowadays. You didn't even found german news in google. I was so hyped for the Vikings. I didn't know any teams and my couch came around the corner with an Vikings Jersey #28. Since then I become a fan. Best season ever despite this L. All the pictures of the players and plays I remember from 2009 give me chills all the time.
Blame Favre but god damn did they fumble every opportunity away

@@SlippingintoFiction Only one of Peterson's fumbles cost them. Berrian's fumble in the red zone hurt and Percy Harvin's fumble set up an easy score for NO. Peterson did have a good game.
ill never forget turning to my dad who was a season ticket holder of over 30 years at that point as the kick went through the up rights that started directly in front of us on hartleys left side as tears rolled down his face and mine as we embraced and yelled knowing he lived long enough to see the fucking new orleans saints go to the fucking super bowl... that entire game but specifically that moment will always be my favorite moment ill ever share with my father and my favorite as a life long saints fan but one who was a jr in high school at that time. Feb 7th 2010 34 - 17. who dat baby. fucking who dat
I'm curious who your dad's favorite Saint of all time is? Archie Manning would be the obvious choice. But maybe he was a Tony Galbreath kind of guy? :)
Ever hear of bountygate? F your cheater saints.
Both playoff match ups between the Vikings and Drew Brees' Saints resulted in tremendous football game.

Im a huge fan of the way Favre played the game. This was so painful to watch in real time, especially being a Falcons fan.
I would have pulled him as coach because they were trying to kill him, goodell would have been called a useless white prick by me the next day and Id call owners saying u bastards are ok with this game, they clearly weren't as goodell was told clean it up and end it, and he did
Diehard Packers fan I told a good friend of mines who was a Vikings fan that Brett Favre when the game is close that he would throw some stupid pass that would cost y’all the game like he did to the packers in the 07 NFC championship game and looked what happened
Thanks for uploading this guys.....

Madden got Favre’s throwing form wrong. He puts his whole body into it. Wish they mastered it. Matt Hassellbacks looks more like Favre’s. Madden 25 and when he chucks it one shoulder is lowered and his arm has a wide swing.
I still imagine what a Favre-Peyton Super Bowl would've been like
I remember this game. I'm a indiana native. And I wanted Favre to win it all. And when he threw that pick when they had the game it broke my heart.
Still the most fun season of football I've ever watched. Thanks Brett Favre. It's not your fault, it's just the Vikings franchise. They're cursed.
As opposed to the Saints who were cursed by an actual Voodoo witch for deciding on the name The Saints over the New Orleans Voodoo? At least that's the legend.
Jordan Love triggered his inner Brett Favre
13:00 is when Packers fans exhaled and then started dying laughing
I was laughing my ass off I said watch he about to do what he always do and it happened 😂😂
He beat your a** that yr twice. His ankle was messed up or would’ve ran. If Vick doesn’t have the miracle comeback against the giants Rodgers has 0 rings. As a 9ers fan I hate the packers and am glad we play Rodgers instead of favre. Favre dominated us. We own Rodgers. And we love Joe Montana and as fans like him more than young. Packers fans abandon the guy that brought them back to relevance for mr. Rodgers
@@joeheasley8046 Here here Joe. Bet he wasn't laughing when Favre beat em twice and took the Vikings to the NFC championship game. Oh yeah, how many SB appearances for Karen Rodgers? I'll bet Favre is laughing his ass off at Mr. Benson. You know Rodgers didn't want to beat Detroit this past week because he knew a major beat down was on the way in SF. Frisco was licking their chops at the thought of Mr. Fraudgers coming to town.
😂😂all those fumbles in a dome 😂😂
The Vikings actually played the better game. If they didn't make so many bone-head mistakes (like the fumbles or that 12-man penalty), they probably convincingly win the game.
or you know the refs could have not been in favor and actually call the obvious penalties... these were penalties in that game and today.. no difference
How can you say the team that kept making "bone headed mistakes" played the better game? They turned the ball over several time.
Vikings fans during this game: saints are trash
Vikings fans during 2018 nfc championship game: *popping champane bottles*
That was one of the best games ever. Favre should have won that one.
All the way through, the vikings capitalized in every stat, but the 5 turnovers hurt them. Vikings were at the 35 of the saints and with under a minute and they intercepted the pass... it was THAT close....the Vikings were almost superbowl bound.
Drew Brees looks so dangerous when he play, throw & move I love it 💯💯
dude got 1 ring because the city of new orleans post flood was given a championship but thank you so much for beating peyton manning-tom brady *evil grin*
As a Saints fan Favre is one tough dude.
Who I forgot how much of a problem fumbling the ball was for Peterson.
Its an absolute crime that the main thing people most people remember about this game is Favre's INT at the end. Favre took dirty hit after dirty hit all game while his teammates were fumbling all over the place. For the first 59.5 minutes he was the best player on the field at 40 years old and the only reason the Vikings were even in the game.
But he made one bad play at a crucial moment, so everything else gets lost to time.
Brett Favre was like Mankind in a WWE hardcore match this game. Saints defense annihilated him. Definitely Favre is and will always be the toughest QB of all time
And since he stayed in the game no bounty was paid out. Toughest QB ever indeed.
@@mattsbjjjourney5601no lies told
That Vikings team was so amazing.
When you watch this, do not forget that Greg Williams was doubtlessly going full bounty-gate as well. He was caught with the 49ers in 2011, but it was obvious here as well.
Dude, fuck that. Favre took some regular hits that all quarterbacks take. And incentives to hit people are not unique to Williams. It's commonplace all over the NFL and college.
Oh fuck off, let men play a game of football.
@@BP-or2iu I'm saying, on sports shows they say hit a mobile qb after every play to let him know what time it is. That's what they did.
It's been really enjoyable knocking the saints out of the playoffs these last few years. Now they know how we felt.
The Vikings had multiple chances to win the game but blew it. Adrian Peterson fumbling a million times, Favre throwing the worst interception of his career, and some "pass interference" calls in overtime.
Not to mention the multiple late hits on Favre that should of been flags.
Bountygate
