Favre

[Sparkey]

Is it just me or did anyone else watchign the game, start to worry when they showed Favre in the tunnel, before introductions.

He looked COLD and not very excited to be playing in an NFC Championship game. I expected the Pack to win, up until I saw the look on Favre's face......

[Joemailman]

If the Packers had had a running game, and if Al Harris had been able to cover Plaxico Burress, I don't think anyone would be worried about what Favre's face looked like before the game.

[Sparkey]

He had the same look on his face as he did during the Bears game. The week prior, versus the seahawks, he looked excited when intro's were being made.

Just an observation. But if I saw that, you know the rest of his teammates noticed that as well. Granted, the whole team did no play well at all.

Still a great season for the Packers.

I definitely noticed that he wasn't as focused as he was in the Settle game. I wouldn't even be that mad about his performance if he would just not throw those dumb ass picks with the game on the line. I would rather have seen a punt in overtime and have the defense lose the game instead of losing because Favre just has one of his give up plays.

Bingo.

[gbgary]

no complaints for the defense from me. they were out there over 40 minutes and were spent. MM could have got Al some help but chose not to. the problem was NO OFFENSE IN THE SECOND HALF. IT WAS HORRIFIC!! poor play calling and execution.

It was cold as hell...not many were smiling...and the pick was not a give up play just a bad throw on an out route if I remember....Grant was open after he released and that was a throw #4 should have made.

I have always adored Brett and what he is accomplished. Everyone likes Brett. That's part of the problem.

A pampered Favre rarely is under stress so he does not handle it well when it comes.

95 in Dallas, 97 Superbowl, 01 St Louis, 02 at home, 03 Philidelphia, 04 at home, 07 at home, Brett Favre crumbles under the pressure of the playoffs and needs teammates to make up for his mistakes. With the game on the line you don't want the ball in his hands. Some team members lean on Brett coming through for them instead of them coming through for Brett.

It hurts to to say that.
That said I will take a couple more seasons like this one.

OK Favre had a bad game, but who the hell took the packers here??? AARON RODGERS??? Give me a break... He threw 2 INTS the hole game and everyone blames him...

Tom Brady throws 3 int's but his D bails him out of the game, and he doesn't get bashed... Like last year when he played SD in playoffs, he played miserable and got bailed out by his team...

Simple as this, if they win, you all love him to death, if they lose, you all think he isn't good and simply disappoints us to much...

Sure he didn't have a good game but I am not going to sit and say this loss was because of him, the offesne has a whole sucked... THE WHOLE TEAM SUCKED...

Simple as this, Brady's D bailed him out... The Packer D couldn't get off the field on a consistant basis..

I didn't really have a problem with who he threw to, it was just the throw itself. It was just a bad throw. It could have been completed if thrown more accurately, or if the route had been better, whatever. The receiver and the ball were not on the same course.

Favre had a couple ill-advised/desperation throws earlier, one when he had a lot of time to throw and threw to I believe Robinson or Jennings who was well covered. That luckily fell incomplete. The other was his first interception generously returned to the Packers by McQuarters and graciously accepted by Tauscher!

Man I' messing up big time

[twoseven]

So is the consensus that Favre played just fine last night, and that other factors are to blame for our offense struggling? I'd like to hear as many opinions on this as possible.

[Tarlam!]

We've always known Brett's strengths an weaknesses.

He made a coupla mistakes last night, but on the whole, he did what M3 asked him to do, IMHO.

Therein lies the problem! I think M3 fucked up the gameplan. Don't get me wrong, I love M3. Sometimes my kids fuck up right before my eyes, too. Doesn't mean I wanna trade my kids!

I think M3 has a lot of power in influencing this group of players and this last night, he didn't influence them to be their best.

[packinpatland]

This has probably already been discussed somewhere, but why, when there was 6+ minutes left in the game, why were we throwing the ball long? Even if there'd been a TD, that would have left too much time on the clock.
M3, in my mind, should have stuck to short passes and eating the clock.
