Congrats to #4 on tying Marino today. Winning makes it more a special day and moment for him. He looked like he might cry out there. He rolled the dice and waited for the team to rebuild and now that patience is paying off. He looks like he cant believe what was happening. The camera shots of him covering his head on that last chargers drive was agonizing.
Yeah it is good to see Farve jumping up and down and excited the way he was the past 2 weeks.
3-0
And more importantly...
2-0 at home against some good teams. And it will just get colder
Grats Farve! Go Pack!
I think everyone is starting to believe. Fans and TEAM alike.
So they stoned us at the goal line.
Our defense got us the ball back with 2:30 to go!
Give us a second chance and we will score.

Pleassse, the offense stoned itself on that messed up drive. Chargers didnt cause it.
I have a special "420" tribute I have to do now.
420 is such a cool number.421 and beyond will be sweeter though!!!
Maybe Favre will finish with 444.
edit (at the bye week)

When the Packers were on the 2 yard line 1st and goal I was thinking this could be it! 421!! Instead he gave it to Jackson to score the winnng TD! There is always next week. Are we destined to go 16-0 like Shula's old club? We will see!!
The football gods would have been angered but a classless display like that. The record will be set in the true heat of battle. Just like 420 was achieved.Originally Posted by Chubbyhubby
Both Marino and Favre got their 420 in an IDENTICAL 240 starts.
That is nuts.
Is the yardage in reach this year, or would that take another season?

He has to average something like 240 yards per game for 16 games to break the yardage record. He is ahead of the pace after today's game.That is nuts.

I'll bet Marino's didn't make his team 3-0. Dan was pretty washed up when he threw it. Brett looks fantastic.
To start the season he needed 3,862 (242/game).He has to average something like 240 yards per game for 16 games to break the yardage record. He is ahead of the pace after today's game.That is nuts.

Unofficially, he has 861 right now.
So he needs 3,001 in 13 games (231/game from here on out)
The last three years he has had 3885, 3881 and 4088 yards.
The two before that he had 3361 and 3658.
With the way they run the offense now, 40 attempts/game the record should be reachable.
Exactly. Brett's commitment to the game and preparing/conditioning himself to be effective is something that can't be overlooked. He will be respected for his atleticism this season as much as for anything else he'll do.

He's doing remarkable things at an age when most players have already retired.
On the postgame show Marino said that he lost the game where he threw 420, and that lead to sort of mixed emotions in the locker room. He said he was happy for Bret that he could reach the milestone in a victory. Hopefully Brett can continue to reach milestones in victories this year.

In case someone tries to lessen this accomplishment by stating that it was more the short passing game of the WC offense rather than Favre's talent let them know that the godfather of the WC offense, Joe Montana, had 273 TD passes in 16 seasons. Then ask them to explain the discrepancy.
I've heard the WC offense argument too many times.
Brett needed 241 a game at the begining of the season. He is ahead of schedule. At his current pace Brett will exceed the yardage record during the Rams game.To start the season he needed 3,862 (242/game).He has to average something like 240 yards per game for 16 games to break the yardage record.

Go, Brett, Go!!
HOFer
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. It's still a long season. But I think this proves we can play with anyone.

Greg Jennings has to be living a dream. Both #400 and #420 went to Jennings on huge plays.
