PFT : "Packer Fans Still Riled Up Over Favre Throw"

[Deputy Nutz]

Your blaming that on KRob?? You said yourself that he was waiving his arm in between two defenders, if you saw that, why didn't the QB? Let's not make excuses for Brett like we are not making excuses for anyone else in that game.

When you are on the move as QB it is tough to see everybody and sometimes you trust the receiver that is jumping around like he is on a burning balcony to actually be open. I am not one to usually sit around and find excuses for Favre, I find it pointless and the end all is that Favre is the one that threw the football, and the ultimate responsibility is on him, Robinson doesn't get tagged with an INT in the stat column.

In all honesty, the Oline did a nice job in pass protection

[MadtownPacker]

Jennings' defender had safety help coming, Lee wasnt any more open than Driver. Only Grant appears open.

Considering DD was the only one catching the damn ball all night I cant blame Favre for going to him when he was 1-on-1. He just made a bad throw.

[b bulldog]

Good point, a properly thrown ball definitely doesn't get picked. As inconsistent the wr's were that night, Brett was just as inconsistent with his throws. It wasw a team L

1. how many legit drops did grant have on the year?

2. bulldog if you're implying that tom brady is your favorite quarterback, then, well, I'm going to assume you're 17... and everything you say from here on out is severely discredited IMO

There is another thing the photo fails to show - throwing lanes. Just because a receiver is open doesn't mean there is a path for the ball to get to him, or that the QB can even see him with the linemen in the way. The elevation of the photo doesn't do this justice. A higher view would actually show lanes better.

Even so, if you crank everything back to BEFORE the throw, it looks like left was pretty well obscured by Colledge, Wells and whoever it is between them. Center and right is more visible.

Not a bad decision at all, Driver is breaking open too. Just a bad, bad throw.

Seemed to do a nice job backing up into pass protection on running plays as well

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Actually, all the WR's were open. A good throw to any of them would most likely move the chains but I think Grant would have gotten the first down if given the chance. As psoted above, Brett was not the only reason why we lost but he definitely had a hand in it and to say otherwise is foolish.

If Grant could catch the ball.

The throw to Driver had to be made as close to the sideline as possible. Driver had to stop his route because the ball just hung up there. Bad throw, decent read.

If Grant could catch the ball?? So now we don't throw to wide open players because his hands are that shitty. Why is he even in the game then? Hell, if he can't catch, then why even re-sign him? Face it, Favre f-ed up in the playoffs like he has been doing regularly now. And to be honest it's getting hard to defend him anymore.

bulldog is a closet patriots fan, I have said it all along... I cannot wait, because if they lose, bulldog will be crying for weeks... He'll be more upset over the patriots loss then when the packers lost...

Hey bulldog... What happened to your little tommy in the championship game??? He did throw 3 interceptions right??? No... Never mind, the receivers ran the wrong routes...

[b bulldog]

sHOW ME where I'm making excuses for him like everyone in here is doing for Brett When you find my excuses, please post them

[b bulldog]

Not a Pats fan, just a Brady fan and damn proud of it.

[b bulldog]

WR's running the wrong routes were only the excuses Brett gets, now the excuse is the WR's dropped the balls so this forces Brett into triple coverage or quadruple coverage?

Looks like Driver was open to me--if Favre gets it to the outside. A QB has progressions on a play. If progression #1 is open, he goes to him. I bet that most of the time Favre makes that throw. Most of the time he doesn't play in the third coldest game in playoff history.

Ladies and Gentleman, Harvey Wallbangers, the voice of reason.

This photo is ridiculous too imo. How many times does something like this happen in a game? I am guessing on at least 10 passing plays a game. If #1 is open, you go to him.

If people want to pin the entire game on one play, they're out of their minds. Favre wasn't rushing the passer. Favre wasn't running (or attempting to run) the rock.

The reality is Favre made a bad throw on what appeared to be a fine decision. It happens.

As for PFT, Bob McGinn and all the other publications, Favre made a career year proving everyone wrong. I see no reason he won't silence the critics again next year.

As for anyone saying he is terrible in the cold, I would like to point you to the Seahawks game where he led 6 straight touchdown drives and he was the NFL's golden boy destined for a showdown against the Evil Pats.

Gimme a break. They want to criticize a guy for throwing a couple of inaccurate passes in what feels like -40. I am very, very surprised by what Bobby McGinn had to say. It contradicts the stance he took all year.

it was a bad throw, plain and simple.. it happens in the game, yes bad timing but oh well.. no one played well for the pack and we didnt deserve to win
