Does anyone here know why Shockey did not get more looks?
He had turf toe and a bruised knee, he didnt practice all week, but it would have taken a straight jacket to keep him from playing. He was limping after his first catch. He was hobbling last week when caught a td, and still couldnt be stopped
As for the calls, there were some questionable calls going both ways, the roughing the passer that went against the Saints was bs, it was a clean hit on Favre. Many calls going against the Saints were questionable in the first half, so I guess the refs evened it out later on. Drew Brees deserved this taking the Saints to their first Superbowl (thank god it didnt happen with a lowlife like Aaron Brooks), the Saints have many classy White players like Brees, Shockey, Thomas, Stinchcomb, Fujita (who made some key plays) Shanle (also made some key plays), Charleston who was in for the majority of the game getting pressure. Never saw a game with so many fumbles.
Saints have a decent amount of Whites compared to most teams. Fujita and Shanle get no respect and rarely get mentioned. Fujita made a key play that caused a turnover and made momentum go towards the Saints. Vikings have some big name White players but dont really have any White receiving threats. It will be nice to see Shockey, David Thomas, Dallas Clark an d Austin Collie in the Superbowl. Vikings lost because of their affletes making so many mistakes.
