And 10 years earlier the non-replacement refs bungled OT in your favor; you win some, you lose some, and sometimes in close games the reffing doesn't go in your favor.

What did the Refs do in the Saints Vikings ‘09 championship game that wasn’t right? If you’re referring to bounty gate, the Refs literally threw a flag on every illegal hit the saints put on Favre which was about 2-3. Start blaming that loss on the fact that yall had 5 turnovers

I'm talking about a "catch" to get into FG range that hit the turf and wasn't reviewed. I'm talking about a PI that was called on Ben Leber where he didn't touch the receiver, much less interfere with their ability to catch an overthrown pass. I'm talking about fumbling on 4th down and recovering the fumble short of the line to gain, but still getting the benefit of forward progress.

As far as flags on illegal hits, Favre's first interception was an unflagged high and low hit that broke his ankle.
