I'd guess it's MUCH lower than that. Opponents are completing just 52% of their passes against us with a 9/13 TD/interception rate.

It's been fun so far but if you make people hurt their brains too much they will get angry about it.

Packer opponent QB's have only a 47.8 QB rating on first down.

82.9% of the time the Packers defense cannot get a 3 and out. Lowest % in the league.

Last season the Packer Offense did better than 3 and out 80.5% of the time. This season 75.3%.

Ryan Grant has 71% of the rushing attempts.

Coach McCarthy's divisional games winning % is only 78.6.

Let’s put this thread out to pasture. The question I had in mind was this:

“What is Brett Favre’s 2008 QB rating for the 6 games not including the one in which he threw 6 TD passes?” Answer – 80.43.

I found it interesting that, as JH pointed out, his overall rating for all games since the start of 2005 is the same. Within that period he has had his worst year, his third worst year and his third best year. The TD/interception ratio impacts the rating a lot, probably more than it should. Since Favre throws a lot of both, he is impacted a lot by it.

The 6 TD game was not his highest rating this year, it was a couple points below his first Jets game in which he had 2 TDs and 0 interceptions.

“What is Brett Favre’s 2008 QB rating for the 6 games not including the one in which he threw 6 TD passes?” Answer – 80.43.

I found it interesting that, as JH pointed out, his overall rating for all games since the start of 2005 is the same. Within that period he has had his worst year, his third worst year and his third best year. The TD/interception ratio impacts the rating a lot, probably more than it should. Since Favre throws a lot of both, he is impacted a lot by it.

The 6 TD game was not his highest rating this year, it was a couple points below his first Jets game in which he had 2 TDs and 0 interceptions.


That's a tough one. Still, I like the idea of a regular feature. Perhaps you could give us a softball here and there to make us feel smart!

Let’s put this thread out to pasture. The question I had in mind was this:

“What is Brett Favre’s 2008 QB rating for the 6 games not including the one in which he threw 6 TD passes?” Answer – 80.43.

I found it interesting that, as JH pointed out, his overall rating for all games since the start of 2005 is the same. Within that period he has had his worst year, his third worst year and his third best year. The TD/interception ratio impacts the rating a lot, probably more than it should. Since Favre throws a lot of both, he is impacted a lot by it.

The 6 TD game was not his highest rating this year, it was a couple points below his first Jets game in which he had 2 TDs and 0 interceptions.

I was wondering the other day what impacts pics have to the QB rating(i suppose I can look that up) and more importantly what the NFL average is for points after a pic and an assumption can be made for pics in opponents territory. i.e. and 14 point turn around game killer. I miss Brett but I dont miss the pics like I saw last week.
