I'm gonna say something that's unpopular, but here goes...

The INT wasn't Favre's fault. That drive should have been a 3 and out, but the Vikes caught a huge break when Tracy Porter couldn't wrap up a tackle on Bernard Berrian. They put the Saints on the run on a 41 yard drive, but as soon as they crossed the 50 look at where their play calling went:

C.Taylor left guard to NO 33 for 14 yards
C.Taylor right guard to NO 33 for no gain
A.Peterson right end to NO 33 for no gain

Instead of keeping with the gameplan that was cutting up the Saints D they go ultra conservative, telegraph the run, and try to lay it up for a 50+ yard field goal like it was a sure thing. And they had timeouts. The whole field was wide open, and they're running out the clock like they're inside the 20. You add in the 12 men in the huddle debacle (again, not Favre's fault), and all of a sudden you're in a must pass situation with the all time leader in post season INTs.

The Vikings had been accruing bad karma all season, and Childress walked right into this one. His characteristic conservative play calling, and the team's lack of discipline rolled out the red carpet for Favre's induction to the hall of shame.
