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

[cpk1994]

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.

I agree with you. You can also point out the Raiders and Lions drubbings in cold weather as well. He won 3 out of 5 games in the cold this year, how is that terrible?

Who is pinning the L on Brett??? i THOUGHT ALL IN HERE WERE IN LINE WITH THE GAME BEING A TEAM LOSS.

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

Me, too....but for different reasons than bulldog

Trick photography!

Seriously, single frames like this can be a distorted view of game action. I thought it was a shit toss at the time & still do. But many times, you could take one still shot and critique the hell out of the QB. He's making that throw real time, not analyzing a photo of it like we are.

I was thinking the same about the fullback.

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.

Yep Favre fucked up, just like Grant fucked up the week before and luckily for him the team had Favre to pull it from the ashes down 14-0. All I kept hearing when the Pack was down 14 was, "I hope Favre doesn't do this, and doesn't do that." The Pressure wasn't put on Grant because of his mistakes, it was put on Favre. Grant couldn't possibly do any worse, he had a clean slate, people were just worried about Favre losing control.

How good would Grant be if the coaches went to him and said, "Favre isn't playing well, it is time for you to carry the load and lead us into victory." The kid would shit his pants.

We continually expect Favre to win games for us, but when he doesn't when he falls, we make comments about him messing up, and that we are sick of it. Well I guess I get sick of it over the last 17 years as well but I realize I will be cheering my ass off the next time Favre has the ball in his hands in overtime with the expectation that Packers will win, because I trust in Favre, unlike you.

I must admit, although I want Brett to come back next year, my trust in Brett isn't real high and personally, I don't see how anyones could be high. I may be wrong with here but this is just my humble opinion.

So is you trust in brady low too? Cuz he has been throwing a shitload of INT in his last few playoff games as well and I aint just talking about last weekend.

that photo is a tough one to swallow. just as the whole night for the offense was. geesh!! we all know this...you live by the Favre, you can also die by the Favre.

He played his best football in 2007 in this decade at 38. He had 4th quarter comebacks against San Deigo, Kansas City, Denver, and Philly.

He and his team lost in the NFC Championship game at home. He had a horrible throw in overtime, did it cost the Packer a Super Bowl trip, no, it was one play in a game that was badly executed by a young Packers team, coaching staff included.

Driver was the least open of all the options. Safety help on Jennings? The Safety is running deep, look at the pic.

It was a bad decision and a bad throw. But that's life.

[packinpatland]

Aren't we lucky that in life, our most 'bonehead' plays aren't filmed, photographed, dissected, analyzed,scrutinized,..............but then I guess that's why these guys get paid the big bucks.

[b bulldog]

Exactly, that is why they make millions to play a kids game

All points well taken Harvey.

The overriding factor was 'in fact' though, a porly thrown off target pass, too far inside the route.

The go to guy was obviously DD, and sure the other three receivers certainly look like better options in this still. Favre didn't do a check down he was thinking DD outside all the way and DAM that pass.

The NAY Favre Packer fans sure have a legitimate argument Packer fans.

Personally. I want Favre back and him and another chance. He deserves just that after all is weighed. An awesome season.

That's just my vote.

PACKERS FOREVER!
